Retro Arcade Wedding Reception Sign

I'm looking for a talented graphic designer to create a one-of-a-kind, retro arcade-themed welcome sign for my wedding reception. The sign will be prominently displayed at the entrance and needs to set the tone for the entire event.

Key elements that should be included in the design:
- Pixel art characters: These should be cute and whimsical, reminiscent of classic arcade games such as Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
- Game level backgrounds: The sign should feature a dynamic, engaging background that evokes the feeling of being inside a video game.
- Arcade-style text: The text on the sign should be bold, eye-catching, and in keeping with the overall retro video game aesthetic.

The color scheme should be vibrant and lively, creating a sense of fun and excitement for all guests as they arrive at the reception.

Ideal skills and experience for this job include:
- Proficient in graphic design and illustration, particularly with a focus on pixel art and retro aesthetics
- Experience creating signage or large-scale graphics for events
- Strong understanding of color theory and composition
- Ability to work collaboratively, take direction, and iterate on designs as needed

I'm excited to see what you come up with and am looking forward to working with a creative and talented freelancer on this project.

The characters I'd like included are:
Mario Bros
Street Fighter
Simpsons
Avengers
Tekken
Donkey Kong
Jurassic Park
Power Rangers
South Park
Harley Quinn & Joker
Justice League
Mario Kart
Mortal Kombat
Soul Caliber
Pac Man
Space Invaders
X-Men
Crash Bandicoot
Sonic
TMNT
Looney Tunes
Pokemon
DragonBall
Worms
Lemmings

I've attached a mockup which inspired the idea but i think it would be better in landscape
