Photoshop Help
I'm trying to design a marquee for my new flying MAME arcade cabinet.
Here are my two designs as of now:   Which one do you think looks better? Also do you think I should use a better background, and if so what do you think it should be?

I like the bottom one, though you need to right click on that layer and use blending options. It'll make it look smooth, and remove the cropping lines.

Here's an update:  and the matching control panel:  Still a work in progress but they're getting there. Any comments welcome as I am still new to this and I know a lot of you work with Photoshop quite a bit.

This will be my third cabinet, and first sit-down. Ill post pics when I get it together as right now it's in pieces.
As far as roms go I have thousands but only use maybe 100 of them. It's a great hobby, lots of fun to build and to play!

I just installed a new Jamma harness in this one so I could use my J-Pac to run it. Only problem I have is the two 21" arcade monitors I bought I can't get working
 Looks like I'll have to use a PC monitor again.
