It'd be cool to get one for a Goonies cab or Excitebike. Bezels make them look so much better. Anyone ever make custom ones? I've seen the SMB one. That was cool.
 
Someone has at the very lest made a Dr. Mario one. Jow had one.
Was pretty sweet.

Yeah that was me, back when I had more time than machines*.



*not the case anymore


I only completed 2 of them, and have tweaked both of these since these versions. SMB (based on the raster marquee seen here):

Both printed versions in place, next to a DK machine for comparison:

And here is the Dr. Mario Bezel used on a cab with the matching marquee:

This file also has a second revision, I'll have to post a jpg of it tonight when I get home.
 
I'll show my ignorance of Nintendo (besides DK series) here -

I honestly saw the Dr. Mario bezel before in a pic and thought that was an original piece. I'm not a fan of the game, but the bezel art job is fantastic.

The SMB looks good, but is a little loud for my tastes.
 
Really nice work, great job.
They look amazing.
What are they printed on ?

Thanks guys. Those are printed on a laminated vinyl, similar to CPO material. They usually come with the center uncut. You use an exacto, cut out the center negative space and adhere the graphic to a blank piece of plexi. They work well, and look fabulous as you can see. Here is a jpg of Dr. Mario Bezel rev 2:

So you print them on the vinyl, cut them, then laminate ?
Or print, laminate, then cut ?
To attach them to the marquee bezel do you just tape them from the sides, top, and bottom (in a way that is not visible ?)

I'm all about custom art work. I found a great printer who does stuff for awesome prices. So my latest obsession is customizing everything.
Nintendo cabinets are my new favorite and I hope to get more as the years go on...........this is an idea I'm stealing ! lol

Again, awesome work !
