Here is a possible choice for side art for my new cab. Opinions are welcome and appreciated.

My usual comment.... I would choose a name that does not have "MAME" in it.

The only person that knows about MAME is you (that is going to play this machine)

The word "MAIM" is familiar to people.... they will think you don't know how to spell.

Make the name something cool & fun. It doesn't have to be a MAME play on words.

I would suggest enlarging the type on the marquee, getting a one line name.. make it  a little more bombastic. Maybe making the type move up and down with frenetic energy. I would lose the texture on the name as well. I think the juxtaposition of a flat font with the 3-d art will look great. Faux testures are a little pass

I especially like the side art!  Did you start this from scratch?

As always, I'm really impressed with the quality of the art people on this board create.
