I'm looking for a balance between quality and cost. I want a good quality thick plastic reverse printed marquee for backlighting. A place that takes my design, and size requirements, and is reputable. Perhaps some of you here have used a place like this in the past. Can you give me some input?
Thanks,
AX

Try theartworkdoctor. They're great. Lots of people have gotten custom marquees and artwork there, and there is great service for what I've heard.

LAME, I was hoping it was a top secret project or something!
It's a CORN SHRINE actually, isn't it?

If it's for a MAME cabinet, I've used these guys. Excellent quality and very quick turnaround.

They did the Star Castle marquee for me. I needed a custom marquee printed up since I converted a Trivia Whiz to a mini Star Castle (which was never made).
Check out the Star Castle job here:

I would use them Ax.

I'm not sure what constitutes "reasonably priced" in such a niche market, but I went with www.gameongrafix.com for my control panel overlay, cabinet side art, and marquee. Personally, my knee jerk reaction was that it was a bit pricey but it's top-notch quality so I have no regrets.

Sorry about that - it was Game On Grafix where I purchased my Star Castle marquee not the other place in my previous post.
But, basically all I had to do is select the Star Castle from their site, put in the dimensions I wanted, pay for it and boom it was at my place a few days later.
