Personally I think that it would look really cool if you used the generic data east star background kinda goes better with the marquee name in my opinion here is a small sample:


 if you want the full res 27mb file! of the data east star field without the data east logo, click here.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/5tjzd4

Dang that does look cool. Only problem i have is that the whole machine will be black with red T-molding. The control panel is a grayscale image of 2 futuristic bombers. So i think the blue in the marquee will throw the color scheme off, but i will take a look at it when i get home.

Will do thanks for the tips

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Here's a quick mock-up in red, just to see how it looks (pardon the pink around the lettering...)
