HELP! Opinions greatly appreciated on artwork!

Hey! First off, i'd like to thank everyone for their input and interest in the thread, and also for all of the great support I've seen people give on this forum! Very glad to be a new member.

I just photoshopped a marquee, its not final yet so forgive some rough edges but i'd love some input, i also just started my first cabinet with the same streetfighter-esque theme, got some fighter contact paper from mamemarquees.com.

anyway check this out let me know what you think.

I am not huge of the streetfighter themes myself so I won't comment on the artwork as my opinion will be tainted.

But....If the MAME logo is your point of focus on the marquee, I think it deserves to be little larger.

J/K.

I'd look at finding a way to blend the Ryu and Ken images with the middle character collage. Having them segmented like makes it look a little "hacked" together IMHO.
Signature tags are dumb.

Maybe you could try making the MAME logo bigger (across all images?) and then reduce the opacity so it doesn't totally obscure the SF graphics.  Not sure what that would look like but maybe it's worth a shot.

I would scrap the middle collage altogether, blend the left and right images down the middle, then perhaps reintroduce the MAME logo either over or under the existing images using a little transparency.

Of course when I say I would do it, what I actually mean is I would ask someone else to do it, since I have no photoshop skills or artistic talent whatsoever.  ;D
I didn't touch it....honest!
