Very close to being finished so I'd like to get some feedback on the artwork and the layout. Similar theme to what I did with my marquee except no character art this time. Decided to go with the more simple approach. Control Panel is 36 X 18. I've still got a little bit of work to do with the spinner graphic and I'd like to jazz up the trackball graphic.
Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

My apologies for taking so long to respond.
Attached is the layout with my changes. Here is what I think:
The Trackball, P1 joystick, P2 joystick, P1 buttons, and P2 buttons are fine where they are.
The Asteroids Left/Right and Thrust/Fire buttons were too far apart which would fatigue your fingers. I moved them closer together and I moved the whole Asteroids button layout higher on the panel to give your hands room to rest on the CP without hitting any buttons.
I moved the spinner up a bit and left because the mouse buttons where they were would be a problem reaching around the P2 joystick. I moved the mousebuttons left of the P2 joystick so they are easy to reach. I would like them higher on the panel, but that wouldn't leave enough clearance for your hand to play Asteroids.
I moved the left 4-way joystick more left to clear the P1 8-way joystick and moved both 4-ways up on the panel to give you more room.
I moved the Admin buttons left and right to make room for the Asteroids buttons.
If you click on the image attachment it will open full size on your computer.

Markrvp, what do you guys use to do these layouts? Is that a custom template you developed in PS or is this software or a template that I can download?

Markrvp,
Thanks for the input. I did split up the admin buttons and dropped the hyperspace button on the asteroid layout.
Here is the image of what I'm sending to Scott at Mamemarquees.
Thanks again.
