Hello again!
So, Ocarina of Time for the GameCube never had a standalone PAL release, but I would very much like to make that a reality. Here's the original GameCube cover:

It will stand out like a sore thumb in my PAL collection though, would anyone be able to transform this cover into a PAL one? The spine is the crucial bit.
Thank you very much in advance!

if you use the links on the left hand side you'll see the covers thast are hosted, rather than just those in the forums.
is this what you are after?

If you want one of those modified for the proper PAL look, I can whip it up for you
-
Honestly, I'd prefer to have the original US cover modded for PAL, if that's not too much work. The spine font used for the title doesn't seem to be the same used on the other Zelda titles, I'm very OCD with that stuff... sorry :(
I know I'm being a bit of a pain.
-
I misunderstood again - thought you wanted a cover for JUST the master quest.
Is this what you want? Ocarina of time - PAL ADAPTED

Very close! Looking closely, the spine is weirdly placed, there's a bump there. There's also a stray white line. I have no clue what the original font used for the spine is, do you?
Lastly, where the address for the Nintendo of America is, upper bottom left, could you change it for the usual PAL thing? You can get it from this cover:

Thanks a bunch!

Font is Charlemagne Std Bold.
I've updated as per your requests - take another look
-
Looking really good. Charlemagne Std Bold is the font used on the US cover. The PAL titles use another font, it's shared with every single game cover as far as I know, but it's rounder and bolder. I don't know which one that is.
-
not all PAL gamecube games use the same font. Lots use logos or fonts from whatever the game is.
-
Well, fair enough, all the ones I have then. Certainly all the Zelda titles use the same font at least.
-
I found out which font that is. Futura PT Condensed ExtraBold.

I made it black on white background for easy use. As you know the fonts for Zelda titles are normally white.
As a final request, would it be possible to extend that red background into the spine as well? The other Zelda titles have the GameCube logo with a black background and then the rest of the spine features whatever background the cover has.
Thank you very much.

OK - Try it again now..............

That's incredible work. You're making me feel like an OCD prick now though. I think the font used on the official covers is a tad smaller. Also, is it possible for the spine to meld into the back cover, as it is melding into the front?
I'm probably going to print this either today or tomorrow.

Done

Perfect, incredible! On to go print this in some of that shiny paper the covers have. Thank you so much!

Hey again, just showing off the final result for whoever may care about it:

I won't bother about it anymore, it's good enough for me as it is, but I must report that the final image printed out slightly bigger than the case, it had to be cut down slightly and the spine isn't centred. Just a heads up if anyone else would like to bother and print it.
For me, it looks bad ass and it's a really cool addition on my collection!

Is it in a GameCube case or a dvd case? I used the template/dimensions from the site.
-
Gamecube case, which I assumed had the same dimensions as a DVD case. I have no clue why it wouldn't fit properly. I'm not ruling out a printing mistake, but I don't think it was the case. It is just a tad bigger, maybe half a centimetre or less.
-
Strange. We need to check the template on the site.
