I've been looking for U.S. (non-CBS) covers for quite a while.

Same here. I have 11 loose Coleco carts that need homes.

Those are decent bases/placeholders to work from, but you really need hi-res elements to have them considered for addition. Layouts look solid.
I can tell you the font you'll need for your subtitles and back text is Futura.
I'm sure there are hi-res logos for some of those titles floating around, notably Donkey Kong, Time Pilot and Zaxxon.
Do you have the actual boxes to scan? Where did you get your source images from? The arcade cabinets on the front covers would be the only item that a good scan is needed for.
IronManDS:
Of course, the output is only as good as the source material. I used the highest res images I could find on the net for those covers. Unfortunately, those are as good as they're going to get; barring someone loading up quality, hi-res images which can be used. I'd have to doubt that's going to occur any time soon, if at all. Those covers aren't young and the odds of finding a pristine one from which to get a scan decrease by the day, I'd wager.
If you like, use. If not, don't. They're more than good enough for my collection and certainly better than what's available elsewhere.
Thanks for your input.

I'm just letting you know that restrictions are tight on what's used out of the submissions. It's great that you've created covers you're satisfied with.
