Anyone have Marquees/Move Strips or other artwork for Japanese Arcades?

So my Vewlix cab was originally in the Try Amusement Tower in Japan and when I got it still had some of the "Try Amusement Tower" Artwork installed.

you can see in this photo:

I was thinking it would be cool to have marquees and move strip placeholder art themed after "Taito Game Station", "Club Sega", and other notable Japanese arcades as an option to the original Cabinet placeholder art.

I know a lot of these arcades have their own art that they use, does anyone have scans or even photographs of any of it?
 
Someone on AO a while back was going to scan the original Try move strips but I don't think that ever came to fruition.

I think i have photos i can dig up somewhere from before it shutdown if a vector wizard wanted to trace them into something awesome we can use.

I actually have the move strips from try, so I could scan them. I don't have the marquee though, and the only reference Photo I have is the picture I posted above, though it looks like it's just a larger square version of the move strip.

Did you by chance ever scan the TRY artwork that came with your cabinet? If so I'd love to be able to download those scans.
 
I have not scanned it. I only have the move strip art as the marquee art was removed prior to when I received the cab.
 
Ah OK. I think in that case it may already be uploaded - unless the Vewlix artwork is unique... I know there is a scan of the Sega size move strip art.
