Wondering what you guys think?
Which one looks better?

Yeah, I have an Irish cab but installed the American marquee in the first few weeks of owning it. The Irish marquee is interesting as an alternate and for historical purposes, but the design is really lacking in the detail of the American version.
 
So which one is this?

Same as the bottom one but less faded?
 
The NA AD marquee is one of the finest ever made. Look at that detail. Beautiful. I can remember studying those rocks between games when I was a kid, imagining myself navigating a real asteroid field. This was, after all, the impetus of arcade artwork bitd of elemental gfx. Atari held nothing back on the AD marquee.
 
My favorite is an uncommon color variation of the NA one. If memory serves, is has purplish/bluish lettering instead of the orange. I have the 'standard' NA one on my cab.
 
I have an artist friend making me an original peice from my marquee,i saw it yesterday and wow,its looking great! I couldnt beleive the detail in the large ships tail section alone! Will post pics when he finished.Mines the bottom one btw.
