You can do one of several things.
1. Print the logo on regular paper on a color printer. Have it span multiple pages and tape them together.
2. Have a printer do it for you. Should cost around $15 for a printout on backlit (translite) material.
3. I've heard of ppl having kinkos print them on transparencies? Might work.
: My sister's gonna be having a party soon so I want to get my marquee made so they arent reaching into the cabinet. How do I do it? I want it on a piece of plexi or lexan or whatever. I also want it semitransparent so I will have a cool glow to it. I'm probably gonna end up going to kinkos. What was the kind of paper I need to print it out on? Are there any tutorials on the web for making a marquee? I already have the image I'm gonna use, just the MAME logo, I'm thinking of getting an area 51 and duke nukem marquees because I have an endless supply of plexiglass. Thank you!

: Also, I wrote up some instructions to put on the bezel: To select a game, move the joystick up or down. The games are in alphabetical order. Move the joystick to the left or right for page up and down. When you have selected the game you want to play, press the green button in the upper left corner. Be patient while the game loads. When the game is fully loaded, insert a coin or push the small red button located above the bottom coin door. After you push the button, push either the one player or two player start buttons. For all games, the bottom left yellow and blue buttons are the first button for both players. Bottom right is second, top left is third, and top right is forth. After you are finished playing the game, press the red button located at the top left of the control panel. Be VERY delicate with this arcade. It is very expensive and very fragile. No drinks are allowed to be stored on the arcade. Put them on the pool table or the speaker on the left of the arcade. Do not put your hands in any opening. If you touch a wire it could very easily KILL you. If you break the arcade game, I will break your arm. If the arcade freezes or breaks, get Kevin, I will fix it and I can tell if it's the arcade's fault or your fault. If it is your fault, I will break your arm.
