CPO and Marquee suggestions please

[jaredhobbs]

So I finally got around to designing my control panel and just wanted to get some feedback from the community before printing. Any suggestions? Comments? After I finish with the CP and get everything put together, I'll post pics of my cab.

I'm not feeling the grey/black background.

Any suggestions? The cab is a 1994 Taito Under Fire cab, black with blue t-molding. There's partially intact art on both sides that will probably come off eventually, once I decide what I want in it's place.

I've got 6 blue and 6 red buttons for the cp, plus an extra black button for both for the neo-geo fighters.

try to mix the gray background with a colored background.

the text on marquee is too plain..try adding random colored borders and use a better font.

I think a background gradient of black plus blue, or purple would be much more visualy appealing.
