Looks very nice, but sorta unprofessional. I don't know why, but it just has that vibe. This project is looking pretty Dang nice right now!

It's because I did it in paint and I'm terrible. It's just a concept- maybe I'll get someone with some skills to make it look better. I'm thinking the font needs a bit of a border, the white line needs to be smoother, and the gradient stepped better.

If you need minor adjustments or an entirely different design, just ask :tophat:

Cheers.

That's a terrible font. I'll take a stab at it.

Well done, but way off the mark. I'm shooting for something relatively simple, with a color scheme that matches the machine. Mostly I'm drawing inspiration off some of these.

Also, why do candys have two or even three marquees?

I like the one you did, I'll see what I can do to professionalize it up some.

I need a subtitle for this logo I'm making. Is Multi Arcade Machine Emulator okay?

That's only 25%. If you like it, I can upload full size.

I do like it. But it actually works better without any subtitle at all, and the last thing I want is the MAME plug everyone puts in. It's too wide, too, but the basic concept is good.

Like this, maybe? I did a crude hack job:
LINKED FOR SIZE

You also inspired me to take another shot. If I decide to go with this, I'll redo it at a higher resolution.

I guess simple can be beautiful. Thanks for all the help guys, if there's one area I'm lacking it's the art. No CP overlay, by the way. Just going to paint that, maybe with some stripes or a sticker.

You sure you don't want a CP overlay? I can design one if you want, if you like my theme. I'm enjoying making these.

I think you should have SOME kind of subtitle. How about a list of game genres, in Japanese? That would look pretty cool, I think.
