I like it but why not name it something cooler and use the same background?  Like:

"Astrocab"
"Space Rock"
"Galaxy Games"
"Negative Space"
"Astrocade"
"Free Space"
"The Expanse"
"The Final Frontier"

etc.

*NOTE: these names may or may not be "cooler" than "MAME" but you get the idea.  I'm just making suggestions because MAME is kind of generic...

I guess I'm not creative enough.  Right now I'm going with a Black Cab and Blue t-molding.  Mostly cause the cab was already black, and I aalready have enough t-molding left over from Project JaKko.  Theming the cab has been hard to come up with anything.  Anyways here are some variations I have been playing with.

I like the background. But (like javery says) I'd recommend personalizing the name if you can come up with something. That aside, I would also try to change the blue color of the title to a chrome/metal look to adapt better with your background.

Good luck!

if you must use the mame logo - you should put some sort of shadow behind it or light behind it so it stands out better.

I like the "brownish" trial.
As others said, if you're doing your own marquee, you should as well personalize the title too...

Keep up the good work.
Designing the artwork is tough...
