I second (or third, or many more) the calls for AC/DC ones, particularly Luci-esque (which I have).

Would also be great to be able to replace the hideous centre apron card and 'hold for info' ones, especially with something along the lines of the red and black lightning bolts on the translite, and the red and yellow AC/DC logo.

I still can't get over how Stern shipped such horrifically ugly (and low DPI / print quality) stuff on either the standard machines or ones like the Luci. They literally look like they've been scanned using a circa 1998 combi printer, then printed onto kitchen paper. It's that washed out and grainy.

Would happily donate for the latter and pay for whatever the speaker panels cost.

Quoted from Aurich:

Yeah, I don't understand why Stern's prints are so low quality. It's not like in 2015 you're saving any real money by doing that, it's a mystery to me. Maybe it's in-house equipment that they don't want to upgrade. Their cabinet decals are nice and high rez now. But if you compare my (discontinued) Star Trek decals with theirs it's a pretty stark difference.
Regardless, I won't be doing anything else with band/brand logos on it for Stern games, they've made it clear that they can't allow that, and I'm respecting their wishes.
All my mods from here on out for their games will be original art, with no logos or anything that gets into legal problems. So unlikely to do any more translites for their games, I doubt many people will want one without the name of the game on it.
No worries, just means I'm exploring other areas of creativity. I have something else in the works for Metallica that's purely original art, I think people will dig it when I'm done. Still sorting out the technical details.

Mystery to me too ... maybe my combi-printer joke was nearer to the actual reality than I thougt.

Understood. Though the black and red colour scheme for Luci (minus logos) ought to be easy enough to fit the theme. If no-one does the speaker panels or puts out some replacements for the crappy apron art-cards (as opposed to apron game info cards which I'm replacing with your Helens), might get an artist friend to custom paint them ... though her time is rather more expensive than crowd sourcing.
