I've designed some marquees for my upcoming MAME cabinet, but I cannot decide which one to choose, please take a look to the designs and tell me what you think.

'A' looks good, though the design seems better suited to Mortal Kombat than Street Fighter.

I would have to say my favorite is 'D' but I'd get rid of the yellow to red gradient around the speakers (on all of them, for that matter).  The artwork stands out better without it.

Nice work all around.

looks like a draw between A and D!!
thanks for your opinions, very appreciated.

I think the choosen one will be A. I know that maybe the 'bloody' desgin would be more suitable for Mortal Kombat, but don't forget that this is not a dedicated Street Fighter II cabinet, it is a MAME cabinet, and it will play all the beat 'em up games, including Mortal Kombat.

I still would like to hear some more opinions or suggestions, I need to design the CPO based on the chosen marquee.

I like A, but I don't like the texture you used for it. The diamond plate is kinda....old. I think the brick wall style would look better, but this is just mo.

They all really look pretty fantastic.

Maybe im missing something here, but if its not a dedicated Streetfighter cabinet why are you using a Street fighter logo?

Maybe that's his favorite game and the game that will be played most?

That's right!
Also I don't like how 'MAME' sounds in spanish, i'm in a spanish talk country.
I also wanted to put some other fighting game logos like 'Final Fight' or 'Cadillacs and Dinosaurs', but the one that i like most is the classic 'street fighter II' logo.

thanks again for your opinions, i'm taking note!

What CP Art will be going with it. As this may change your decision...

I think I like E the best. While the blood looks cool, I would refrain from putting it on my cabinet. But then again, I have small kids. And then again again, it is just my opinion.
