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.

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!
