I'm building a Midway-inspired arcade cocktail cabinet and I'm about 75% done with the construction. My attention has now turned to the artwork and what I want it to look like as a finished piece of furniture... This is ultimately going in the living room of my house so it has to be as "least offensive" as possible according to the wife (she says it's an eyesore no matter what).

Here's a pic of how it looks now (minus the nice dark blue stain and finish I added):



THANKS!

Prosecutor / Defendant

One side should read Prosecutor and the other Defendant. Kind of playing off the "Home Away" thing.
 
By your avatar I would guess you are a fan of the Simpsons. So, how about something like:

Springfield Arcade
Moe's

Or someother Simpsons related name. The design of course could be a panorama of Springfield.
 
Who says it needs a name?

I'd just go with a cabinet design that excludes a name, or possibly something simple. Something like "ARCADE" on the side.

My uncle built a (standup) MAME cabinet a few years ago, and the only text was the MAME banner above the monitor. The rest of the cabinet? A gigantic blue dragon.

Simplicity works sometimes. :)

Do you need any help with the graphics? For all I know you could be a graphic designer (which is what I am) but since I don't know I thought I'd ask.

My cabinet is also in progress. I'm using 'Timewarp' as the name. Here are semi-recent pics, I've added the trackball since I took these.

Screw the arcade cabinet, I want to play Turbo Hockey!

J/K, that looks really nice.
