Universal Nintendo Handhelds Cover Thread

Yes, its out of the question. If you want the other spine style then you can use the one's i already have on the site.  I don't want to have 10 alternates for every cover, i'm keeping it to a minimum.

I personally didn't like the style at first either but it has grown on me, perhaps it will grow on the rest of you too.

No... maybe ... NEVER.

But stranger things have happened.

But I understand you.

Wel doing alternates to B&W spines is easy, as they have monotone background.

Yes, but I don't have the "Version" font to do the spines the way Shenske had them before. Could anybody tell me what font that is and/or where I could download it?

I didn't use a font, I cut them out of the front logo at the bottom of each cover. For the Green version i just pieced together letters from the other versions to spell "Green" out.

Yeah I was going to suggest the same W for white can be constructed from the V on silver

Also, Nice looking covers!
When will they be up?

[shenske]

When i upload my next batch of covers ... most likely in a week or so

I'm actually kind of glad you're starting to use the Nintendo style. I printed all your other covers to be uniform, then Nintendo screwed it up with the DS titles. Glad to see I'm not the only one with a bit of OCD.

To answer everyone's forthcoming posts in advance: No i'm not adding "Special Pikachu Edition" to the spine.  All of the pokemon games have a color and i hear it more oftentimes referred to as Yellow Version than Special Pikachu Edition ... yellow wins out.  No discussion, its just what it is.

i believe it's called "decotura ICG" - http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/imageclub/decotura/regular/ (looks identical to me)

unfortunately it's a commercial font, meaning you would have to pay to download it

For this I agree.
Adding the Special Picachu Edition would clutter the spine.

Just do copy, edit & paste to write those few words.

And looks same except Font used on covers is hollow where as the font you linked is solid.
As my edit skills are limited I don't know is there way around this

Thanks for the link. Downloaded it just in case.

[shenske]

Yeah, after I linked the font I tried it out myself and it's great! I already replaced all the "xxxx version" logos in the new covers I've been making. I'll be using it for G/S/C too!

[Arseen]

Tell me this if you don't mind: the font is solid, how do you make it white with black borders?

[sheep2001]

if you use photoshop:
layer, style - stroke - for the outline
layer, style - colour overlay - for the solid fill colour
