Alright, I've been looking high and low for a Multi-Capcom type marquee for my CPSII 19-in-1 cabinet with very little luck so I figured I'd make my own. Unfortunately I am not what you'd call a professional graphic designer so I'm looking for some opinions.

My CPO will be the same as the background in this marquee...and I am considering doing a similar style bezel, but I am not sure on that yet.

This is what I have thus far...

What say you? Shit? OK? Good? What can I do to make it better?

Does it really matter what we say? All of your "OPINION" threads are all the same. You ask for advice, and do the opposite.

I would take the background diamond plate layer, copy it, paste it over the capcom logo at 15-20 % opacity, so the logo shows the diamonds coming thru. You may have to play with it for a while to be happy, but I am sure you're used to that.
 
Not a huge fan of diamondplate myself, but it looks very clean and professional. I vote yes. ;)

That is not true at all... maybe sometime, but not always. I try to consume as many opinions on a matter as possible then I make a decision.

Sheesh...
 
Also, I was thinking it needs a Capcom character or two? Maybe in the space to the left of "anthology"? Or I could make it all smaller and put a character or two to the right?
 
I hate the diamond plate. Pick a specific game from the pack you really like, and work with it to incorporate the 'multi' aspect.

The three things you have on there (diamond plate, blue/yellow capcom, red/yellow) clash horribly.

The 80's were built on clashing stuff like this! :p I think it fits the timeline and style of arcades perfectly, myself...

I like this one ... a lot ... but the creator hasn't replied to my email asking if I could get the art files to use it.

Looks good to me the diamond plate is common on capcom cabinents cp so it fits pretty well in my opinion.

Frizz, I love this. I can recreate this for you pretty quickly if you'd like.

not a fan of the diamond plate or the tacked on Indiana Jones logo.

I agree about the Indiana Jonesesqe part...

How about this version? I am trying to keep the diamond plate due to the fact it would tie in nicely to the diamond plate CPO I am putting on the cab...

Does this still suck?

No, that's WAY better.
 
I'm thinking the blue isn't right. I also might do a slight gradient from yellow to a slightly orangish yellow in the capcom logo...
