Title: Shenmue 2 Dreamcast NTSC-U CD case

I'm not sure who the original artist for this US Shenmue 2 cover was, but there was a crappified version with some hideous logos slapped on in MS Paint that are fairly common, and the original version has been lost for quite some time. I cleaned it up as close to how it was supposed to look as I could.

*UPDATE 10-29-2014* After printing the covers some flaws became apparent-- particularly, the title font on the spine did not match the original Shenmue's well enough, and several of the logos did not look right when printed (including the thickness of the word "Dreamcast" and the color of the orange swirl and Sega logos). I updated the cover and re-uploaded it.

Also, here are some Shenmue 2 disc labels that I whipped up for my copy of the unofficial English voiceover mod. I even included a fifth label for the US to PAL save conversion / Shenmue Fix disc.

There were a few annoying problems with the case that I noticed after printing it up, and I decided to go back and fix them. Check the update in the original post (the new links are there too).

Good work Tim. I downloaded it before and I'll download the revision  tomorrow. Looks very clean and sharp  :)

If you are interested I also have cleaned-up versions of your Dreamcast templates with the logo fixes that I mentioned.

i did NOT want to start a new topic because this is directly related to this topic but does anyone have any inlays that would go with this? preferable ones that use the 1st disc and 4th disc arts so that they match up? or could someone make some up that look nice? want this to be a somewhat present to a friend of mine and a copy for myself aswell
