what kind of art would you suggest for a multi-Pac?

i have a free mostly-stripped, painted-over black Galaxian cab on it's way to my house right now, along with all the hardware and wiring from a rotted-out Pac to put the Galaxian back together.

i also have a Pac board with one of the Shillmover multi-Pac kits and it could use a home (i'm keeping my Ms. Pac dedicated.)

considering that i will start with a completely black Pac-style cabinet, what kind of art would you suggest i put on it? what color t-molding? marquee? bezel? what?

Not my 1st choice...
I would reccomend a half Ms. Pac style half Pac style cabinet. Do you know how to use Illustrator?

T-Molding: Depends on the art colors. Generally black leather, yellow, and orange is used and in some cases chrome (do not recommend).
 
Maybe something like this for the CPO (quick idea I came up with) with a Ms. Pac bezel because the instructions are essentially the same.

Also attached is an instruction card I designed you can put over the scoring table on the bezel.

i don't have Illustrator nor the time to do any major art projects with it. i'm looking mostly for packages that have already been created (stencils, reproduction, or original multi-oriented graphics.)

that CPO isn't bad (except i'd prefer all four arrows to match around the joystick) and the instruction card is fine; both would work with what i'm looking for.

Phet: i like that for the bezel. does anyone produce it?

I can send the file to Rich if he needs it, it was also available on localarcade at one time.
 
cool. i suppose i could have Rich print just about anything i can get a file for.

i remember there were multi-Pac marquees in the right size that someone created years ago... hmmm. i should see if i can locate one.

also, wasn't there some interesting Willis side art? that might go with a separate printed vinyl saying "Multi-Pac."
 
I design art (that CPO was a 20 min idea). PM me if you want me to design your art. I'll change.add/remove whatever you want.

This is what I did 13 years ago for ours...
