 When I drive by xgames... or Area51.... I can see a small computer store then a Lame attempt for a "Rochesters only gaming center" "Sign" drawn sloppily on the window. I know the budget might be low, but there are plenty of low cost alternatives to this. 1. Have/Hire someone more talented in window Art draw out what the place actually is. 2. Get some Bright Neon Lights in the windows, this actually attracts attention. 3 Get the Old Xgames Sign and atleast make an attempt to put it up. 4. Fill that ugly void above the door with a real clear sign.

I dont know if you have one being orderd or what the deal is with that. I also think the inside could be a little cleaner. Dont mean to sound like an ***, but the hole childcare/gaming center aura isnt really doing the trick; for parents and for Possible customers. I dont mean to sound like a mom when i say this, because believe me I know how hard it is to keep something clean, but sometimes im dissapointed when i walk into there and see the same thing ive seen for the past 3 months lieing on the ground. Id be willing to help out for some hours or something, Just moving things around, or putting things away would help. The white board idea with the prices of the candy/pop also looks shabby. Deffinetely consider alternative methods to displaying prices. Try looking at other Gaming arenas and compareing the insides to what xgames looks like. The old location looked beautiful, but didnt have nearly as well run machines. Now that you have the technology better and the machines/software updated, you just need to make the place look "Pretty". Im always here to help, Id love to see this place do better in the future.

It's not really a budget thing as the vinyl only costs about $100 per sign. We just don't have a good name for the gaming center yet and didn't want to put vinyl on the signs (it's really a pain to get back off) up top till we decide on a name and logo. The signage is already in place and working we just need a good name for the place... Sugestions welcomed. Putting the vinyl up only takes a day. We could just put "Gaming Center & Internet Cafe" but how lame would that be.

We will not be using the name "X-Games" for more then one reason, so the old sign is no good to us not to mention it was thrown away by the old building owner for some reason.

I agree with you 100% on the rest. We'll get it cleaned up.

Thanks for your feedback.
