Have you designed any custom artwork for your machines? Instruction decals? Bezels? Side art? Marquees? CPO's? Toppers? Something that wasn't original but you made to enhance your game? If so, post a pic or a .jpg of the ai file here. I'll start. I was cleaning out my garage and stumbled across some old stuff. My first entry, Coors Light Bowling Bezel:

I have World Rally in a Pole Position upright. I couldn't find a WR marquee and I liked the PP2 marquee that I was removing so I had Todd at Arcade Overlays make me a Pole Position inspired World Rally marquee. And I put Nibbler into a Ms Pac cab recently so now I am thinking about having him make a Ms Pac inspired Nibbler CPO.

I posted this a while back - the original thread got NO love, I had 3 replies on the thread, but surprisingly over the last year I've gotten at least 7 requests for the artwork from people who wanted it for their cabinet.

It turned out rad, and this is no low-res bullshit, we're running around 24"x24" @ 250 DPI.

edit: I have since fixed this, but you can see Captain America's tit on the bottom right. He got blasted.

Made this CPO for a mini Gorf cab I got that was gutted. I put a Namco Classics Volume 2 PCB in it:

Freakin sweet bezel, man!

I want to make one for vs. Gradius but I have very little artistic skills.
 
I've created a custom Balloon Fight marquee and red tent instruction card. Plenty of the instruction cards are out there, but I have yet to hear if anyone had the marquee printed:

Those look great. The orange and blue in the marquee look like the same shade as the DK cabs

Thanks- I'd really like to see a printed marquee.

I also created a custom cpo for my Heavy Barrel rotary cab project. I have yet to get this printed due to other projects:

Cheap $5.99 Wal-Mart clocks with printed inserts...

They aren't all mine. The Circus Charlie went to Mod. :)
 
Clock faces...

I was going to do that someday (probably still will) - I picked up a couple nice big working clocks at Goodwill of a couple bucks and was going to make them into arcade-themed clocks. Maybe i'll do a Tron clock to go with my Trons.
