I need a marquee designed!
« on: May 12, 2004, 06:12:12 pm »
Hello All,
I've pretty well got my machine built & am ready to put on the final touches.  This site has been an invaluable resource in getting it built.  At 1st I decided to just by a regular Mame marquee, but now seeing the artistic talent on this board - I'm in awe.  So I'm asking for help in designing my marquee since my artistic talent is just about zero.  Here's what I've got in mind:  Name: The Gaming Station (or maybe just Gaming Station), I'd like the name to be some form of silver (futuristic look?) - I'm not sure about possible placing the names of the systems that will be used or not (probably would make it to cluttered looking - I love Pixelhugger's Mame atomic logos though) the machine is black with red T-molding so perhaps if red could be worked in as well that would be great.  I think some kind of cool background would be good although I have no idea what I'd want there, suggestions welcome.  That's about all I can think of right now.  My apologies if I'm taking the name of someone's machine but since it will be used for more than Mame I thought it would be appropriate.  So if anyone of you gifted artist's would be so kind as to help me out I would be greatful.
Thanks,
Piss Ant

What size is the marquee? And what game systems will you be using in it?

The size is 27 7/8 x 7 3/4 although the marquee retainer will cover up some of the top & bottom Approx 3/4 of an inch total.  I haven't installed the place for the marquee yet, but that should be pretty close.  The game systems are to be determined but I'm looking at: PSX, Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, Sega Master System, Genesis, NES, SNES, Game Gear, GBA, Mame, N64, Dreamcast (if I can figure out how to hack my controllers) - being able to put my original systems in storage would be a big hit with the wife ;D.  Although I'm not sure  since it would probably make the marquee to crowded.  One more thought though - Perhaps the red could be horns & a tail (like a devil) that might be cool.
Thanks & PLMK what you think,
