marquee opinions needed
« on: December 05, 2009, 08:51:56 pm »
This is my 5th attempt at a marquee.  I have been trying to make one to match my cab for about a month with little luck.  Please tell me what you think.  Its hard to see but the back ground is black diamond plate.  The marquee in the pic is one I printed and taped together,  I would like some feedback before I have it professionaly printed on vinyl

That's funny... I almost got the same Marquee design.
I'll post my cabinet on this forum when it is finished. It's finished for about 98% now.

To answer your question, I like your marquee alot  ;)

It's good!
Matching the control panel
was probably the right move.
The side art on your cab is
just so awesome that you barely
notice anything else.

Very beautiful sideart and cab  :applaud:

I my opinion the lettering is a little small, and you could use a bigger font.

You might try putting a drop shadow behind the title.  Would probably make it 'pop' a little more, and give the image a little bit of depth.

Otherwise, I think it looks real good!

i like it alot, i do agree that a drop shadow, or a glow around the street fighter logo would look cool

thanks everyone, Im not much of an artist, and to be honest I had to look up the definition of drop shadow. I gave it a try, please let me know what you think.

I like the idea and the overall design of the marquee but I think the background should be a mixture of the backgrounds you have for the side art.
