Finally finished my marquee... and the rest of the Artwork

[Sky25es]

Update: See below

I finally finished my marquee (nearly).
I just have to decide now if I should remove some elements or change something, so any advice, suggestions or critics will be highly appreciated.

        Here, version #1



        Version #2, with "Dirk" on the bottom right corner


        Version #3 + Sir Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins...







Update:

Ok. I removed a lot of the characters from the marquee, as suggested by Yotsuya, Pbj and Titchgamer (sorry Guys but I have to keep some of them and finished the Sideart, Bezel, Kickplate and Control Panel, so if you have any suggestions or feedback before I send this all for printing...

Lose all the characters and make the title really stand out.

[pbj]

I agree with yotsuya,  that'll look great without all the characters on it.

[Titchgamer]

As above, loose the characters.
Its a little busy!

[Sky25es]

yeah you're right. That's what I thought too... It's a little bit overcharged...
Thanks for the advice guys

Ok. Finished all the Artwork. See the first post.

The marquee is much better but ime still not sold on the positioning of DK, Mario, Bub & Bob as they look like they are floating there.
Can you intergrate them a little better? Give them a reason to be there or something to sit on?

The rest of the artwork is good.
My only criticism of the CP is it does not look symmetrical (always a prob with lines I guess)
But I think it would benefit from shifting P2 controls a little to the left so the gaps either side are a little more equal.

Obv thats only of the room is available to do it

Thanks again. I moved the p2 joystick as suggested, more to the left (that's the max I can move it without interfering with the spinner or the third joystick) and modified the Artwork a bit.




and as a bonus: Bub & Bob with something to sit on.



(It's only a joke)

Yup that cp looks much better nice job

3 8-way joysticks?  or is the third a 4-way?  If 4-way, I would lose the diagonal arrows.

No. There are 2 rotary 8 ways and an 4-8 ways switchable u360.

When designing a custom cabinet, avoid throwing in random characters. Is like driving a Honda civic adding bmw/ Mercedes logos etc. On to the car. Just my two cents.
