SF4 TE Stick Art mod help

THANK YOU! Those png.s are great. I only had to touch up a small hair part (which is actually the artists fault) and it's the same jpeg i was starting from.

Anyone know the font used on the TE Stick below the turbo settings? I'd like to put that part back into the design.
 
Thanks everyone for all the useful info and links above. I also recently got the TE stick (PS3 version) and just ordered a plexiglas top along with custom art print. Haven't ordered buttons or ball top replacement yet since I'm not sure on the final color scheme. But here's the final artwork design concept that I quickly put together in Photoshop earlier today. Special thanks to Eclair for the individual character's high rez stock images.

(Tira's there, but from the point of view, her head is behind the ball top stick. Yes, I know its the Xbox 360 stick version depicted here. I used the model mockup template to give me an idea what the final build might look like. So it should look like this when complete. I'll post real pics later.)

Completed art with layout cutouts

Originally I was going to do a strictly Cassandra stick or perhaps a Setsuka one. But then after considering one of the major color schemes for those characters well...pink isn't exactly my color. So I just settled for all the major female characters - Soul Calibur femme fatale - and made this montage in photoshop. The layout may be a bit noisy for some people but its quick dirty and simple.
 
Well, after hearing all this art talk for sticks, i decided that, since i was bored, to use my terrible photoshop powers to make this some stick art. Sadly, i only have an SE madkatz stick, so I just used that.

i used the background ignisphaseone posted for right now until i am finishing touching up this cluttered thing.
 
Ok so finally got the parts and artwork+plexiglas top assembled. Here are the actual photos of the real stick.

Note the custom dush washer under the stick.

I also got a bit carried away and bought this recently as well... not as good as the TE stick (obviously) but when I saw it I had to get it (one of those brash spontaneous moments). Never owned a NeoGeo growing up eventhough I wish I did but now I can have something memorable from that time period on my PS3.
