Custom Cart Labels (and now covers too)

[Nacho3]

I have been changing my mind on these over the last few weeks and I decided to completely take out all logos except the game logo so it is extremely obvious they are custom (and it makes finding art that is not going to be covered easier). Here's what I put together so far:





I don't know which Perfect Dark I like better so I'll probably just get another copy since it's pretty cheap. I also am not sure which rear label I like better so I'll print both and see how it looks. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for including my N64 warning label.

They seem really hit or miss.  For instance, Star Fox is just a screen cap. That's just not gonna cut it IMO.  But others like the red Perfect Dark label are really promising.   I think you've got a good idea going, just need to spend a little more thought on some of them to really make em stand out in a crowd.

the San Francisco Rush and Mario 64 labels are pretty amusing.. lol

i especially like the Rush label.. that whole series on the 64 IMO are the best racing games EVER!

Yeah I know, I have a different Star Fox label but I just love hearing Peppy say "Do A Barrel Roll" and I could not find anything for San Fran Rush except screenshots (It's very hard to find high quality art from 15 years ago). And, they will stand out in a crowd more when I put them on the cart because I'm using all colored carts, no grey at all.  They definitely aren't perfect and I'm sure I'll change my mind later so I'll be keeping my originals to put them back when I get tired of these.

I couldn't remember where I found it or I would've credited you, all I did was resize it to be the same size as the official

best bet would probably be to to find an old gaming mag ad for it and try to incorporate that. don't recall ever seeing any for san fran rush tho.

actuly to be technical. its an aileron roll in game, not a barrel roll.

I may have gotten it from someone else that changed it then because I printed one out and the length was fine but the width was to small and it looked funny.

I do love the red Perfect Dark label created from the Japanese advertisement. I would have preferred that on my game with a black cart rather than just Joanna's eye.  I mean it is called Perfect DARK, as in BLACK in colour Nintendo

I checked the dimensions again, and realized I had messed up with the height; sorry I hassled you over it. Here's the corrected version; please delete the other one from your post.



I also reworded the NES and SNES labels to match.

I was going to post a new topic to show my custom covers I've been working on but I think they fit here just fine. First I wanted to update this with my labels on the carts.


Now on to the covers. I wanted something that wrapped around the front to the spine because I absolutely hate the N64 ugly ass green (or blue) spines. My first attempts did not look that good:

Then I saw wiggy's Earthbound cover and decided to do something similar. So, here you go:





And here are a couple cased up

Awesome Job Nacho!

[Nacho3]

Thank you sir, glad you like it.

I haven't actually posted them anywhere to download because I just made them for personal use but if anybody wants them let me know and I'll upload them to my box account.

Love that template for the N64 cases, would you be willing to share it?
