: If anyone else has thought of this, my apologies(i am just new to this scene, very heavily already though, damn this stuff is addictive!!) Ok here goes, I am going to use a piece of white lexan or plexi(the kind of pale white that light shines through). You know all those sports logo window clings you see everywhere??, thats my graphics!!!! For example, I love hockey, so I buy a 5.99 clear window cling, trim it down, apply over marquee(squeezing out air bubbles) and bingo!!!, your favorite logo, sports team, race car driver, or soda pop as your marquee. I have to say they look really sweet all lit up. As soon as I get my scanner I want to post pics. Now to do Coca-Cola one. Later guys!!

Go to www.gamearchive.com and go into flyers / new additions. These are huge (well, not THAT huge, but good quality for a big banner printing) images of old flyers of old video games. Then you can cut the title of the front cover and print it with the measures you need. For printing banners (on almost every HP printers) with this little proggie:
Poster 6.3
You can get it at http://www.postersw.com. I don't know if you can print big banners with the unregged version, but you can allways register it somewhere for printing only your marquee (I don't promote piracy, but is stupid to register this program for only one use).
It worked great for me... I also printed the control panel and monitor overlay with it. It's a very cheap solution and looks great if you have a good quality picture.
