No DreamAuthentics cabinet
is complete without the ULTIMATE in customization
Your own PERSONAL MARQUEE!
We have had many customers over the years
write us stories about how exciting it felt
to "see their names in lights" on
their own custom arcade cabinet.
These are some digital graphic shots from
our collection of video game marquees.
Each of these marquees are derived from your
favorite arcade artwork. Image resolution
is shown at low quality to speed up page downloads.
Actual marquees are incredibly high resolution
with smooth graphics, edges, and lettering.
These marquees are a great way to add additional
CUSTOMIZATION to your new arcade machine.
We can also create additional custom marquees
for our cabinets. Please contact us
for further information.

FAQ (Marquees) :
Q: What type of material is used to produce
these marquees?
A: All of our marquees are printed on Premium
Glossy Photo Paper. This
ensures that your Marquee will appear with
maximum gloss and finish. The
material is smudge and water-resistant.
Q: Does lighting behind the marquee enhance their apearance?
A: Yes! Fluorescent lighting as well as blacklighting make these marquees
look absolutely gorgeous!
Q: Are custom sizes available?
A: Yes, the maximum height that can be produced is 8.0". The length can be
any size up to 38.0". Please inquire about sizes over 38.0".
Q: The marquees don't appear in great quality on the website. I can see
jagged edges on the lettering of MAME in several images. Why is this?
A: The marquee images on the website are compressed for faster download
times. Your actual marquee is produced from an extremely high quality file.
Q: Can you print out a marquee from an image file that I send you?
A: Yes, as long as it meets these requirements: The file must be at least
150 DPI, and in either PSD, AI, JPG, BMP, TIF, or PNG format. If your file
doesn't exactly meet these requirements, feel free to send the file anyway
and we'll let you know what can be done.
Q: I have an idea for a marquee I'd like created. Can you make a marquee
from scratch based on my ideas?
A: Yes. Let us know exactly what you'd like your marquee to look like
and we can create it! We offer very low rates and free quotes before any
work is done!
Q: How exactly do I mount the marquee onto my arcade cabinet?
A: There are several different methods to mount your marquee. You can
sandwich the marquee between two sheets of plexiglass, then place screws
directly through the plexiglass and marquee into the cabinet marquee frame.
You could also use a marquee retainer (see below), but it is not necessary. A marquee
retainer simply supplies a frame for the plexiglass that mounts around the
cabinet marquee frame. The good thing about using a marquee retainer is
that you don't have to drill holes through the plexiglass and marquee. We do
offer 26.5" x 8.5" sheets of lexan (material similar to plexiglass, but stronger).
Please email us if you are interested in lexan sheets.
Also, if you don't have plexiglass or special tools, you could simply place
screws directly through the marquee, into the marquee frame. Some people
choose to simply use a sticky adhesive around the back of the marquee, and
mount it to the marquee frame area on the arcade cabinet. Please view the
"customer installations" page to see how they look when mounted with these
different methods.
There are no "wrong" ways to mount your marquee. These are just the most
common methods that customers choose to follow. It never hurts to get
creative when mounting a marquee. One customer used car window weather
stripping as a marquee retainer! Hey, whatever works!
