I am a traditionalist when it comes to pinball - restored to original look, or leave as is. Take these AFM decals for example - I know some would like them, but they are unnecessary bling that adds nothing to the game and IMO in fact detracts from it.

I hear what you're saying and those are the exact decals I was talking about.
I'm a little biased though 'cause I love the bling.
I've also seen some alternative Flintstones and World Poker translites that I think are way better than the originals.

Please make the art, I would love to see what you come up with.
Like I said you don't have to use them.
