1)  You had the marquee printed on vinyl?  If so, then when it is backlit, you'll end up see small pits from the back of the vinyl that distort the image.  Plus, vinyl just isn't quite translucent enough... it tends to whitewash the image.  I know because my first marquee was printed on vinyl at Kinko's.  

2) Why didn't you have them print the marquee on backlit film?  It only cost me $28.00 to have my Mame marquee printed there, and it looks way better and much more "arcade authentic" than the vinyl did.  It distributes the light evenly and doesn't  wash out the image.

He didn't have a marquee printed, it is a monitor bezel to mount on (between) the monitor plexi.
