Mame Marquees - Arcade Graphics Printing Services


For the artwork, I used Mame Marquees printing services. I created my own artwork using Adobe Photoshop and some images from the Arcade Art Library.

Some things to remember when creating your own artwork.
- I recommend starting an adobe image at 300dpi. Do not increase the dpi if you already started your project. It's better to start over.

- The marquee is printed on special material that can take some abuse, you can cut out the holes for the buttons and joysticks with an exacto knife.

- Mamemarquees sends you the finish product with an adhesive back. Makes it very easy to apply if you have a laminated surface. Just clean the surface and carefully apply the marquee. Luckily, MameRoom laminates their wood when you order from them, so I did not have to do anything other than clean the surface.

Mame Marquees also has plenty of very nice artwork available for purchase on their website and they will work with you if you want them to design something but don't have the skills or software.
