I like it a lot but... the Redskins should be moved to the top center. Maybe even increased in size...in fact why not just make them the whole marquee...that would look great. Looks really good otherwise.

I like my marquees less cluttered so maybe try removing the team logos and see how that looks.  And increase the font size.   Other than that, it's looking good!  I like the color scheme.

There was no team logo before I added them. I showed the marquee to my friend and he like it better with all the logos so Ill leave it that way.

For the Packers actually I dont know any of those team. Im just watching the super bowl each year and thats it. So that is not explaining why I guessed the exact score of the last year super bowl hehehe :)

It looks like the word "Arcade" and the words "Match up" are not tilted at the same angle. Try to make them the same angle.

Oh yea, put the Patriots up in the top middle...

There is no margin around the image to compensate for when mounting.

I do like it with all the logo's around the outside, but I think it would look better if the primary helmets were specific teams (favorite team on both sides or favorite & their rival), and the background gradient was done in that team's colors.

The writtings are at the same angle. Actually I didnt put in any angle at all. The espn font is like that. I just typed in and voila.

You are right about the space for mounting. I will have to add some at top and bottom. My actual graphic is 7 inches by 26. Top of the cab will be made like the Lusid one so any idea how big the marquee must be for it ? If the height is bigger than 7 inches ill just add spaces where needed. And how much spaces do I need on top and bottom ?

For the graph on the helmets that was already in. This is the best helmet drawing (because a real picture would not really match with the rest) I could found on the net, and I needed to do a good cleenup on it. Since there is shadow and stuff on it I will have to leave it like this since im no pro at photoshop (redoing shadows smoothly seems a big job to me... maybe not... ?) But this is not like the graphics on the helmet looks bad though. So its not a big deal to me.

about the writtings even I didnt put in any angle it is doing 2 differents angles because of the size so you are right. Ill correct that.
