Who's up for a challenge?
« on: January 04, 2005, 05:58:55 pm »
Ok...maybe not a challenge, but here's the deal....

The image posted below is one I found on a slots page that had an interesting marquee. Its almost identical to what I had in mind when I decided to start my 2nd MAME cab. The idea I had was for the cabinet to have a "VersuS" theme instead of the generic MAME. Now I've given this a lot of thought and I have 3 questions.

1. Who would be nice enough to take the photo below of the slot machine's marquee, and create something similar in Photoshop (300dpi file, 20cm x 64 cm)? I have zero artistic ability, but would be willing to compensate for someone's time and effort.

2. Would Mamemarquee.com be the best place to get it printed?

3. If I wanted the word "VersuS" in bold red ink printed on a piece of black vinyl as sideart, to replace the "Midway" logo, what would be the best way of going about it?

I understand that there are a lot of leeches out there, wanting someone to do their marquee for free, but I'm willing to compensate someone who does this for me.





Signature tags are dumb.

You're not supposed to have two slashes after the domain name...

this is the correct URL:



Weird it's not showing up now... I guess they disable hot-linking to images, but in "preview" mode I could see the image!

It looks like they don't allow hotlinking to images.

Here's the URL:
