You have the original "slip up" cover with the ign logo (google it)
Fixed version
two alternate versions

Let's try and get them all scanned!

If everything goes well, I will have three of the four versions over the next few weeks. I'm trying to get the IGN mistake cover scanned at CAG and I have requested the two alternate versions that are basically the Okami logo and some very nice artwork.

Good work doom.

...and twilightwolf77.*

*note: Snowcone does not endorse twilightwolf77, this is just tricky editing on Doom's part. But I'm sure he'd endorse him if I mentioned him earlier.

As an update, nobody scanned it at CAG... :(
But between me and twilightwolf77 we have all 3 alternate covers. In addition to that, Capcom posted 300dpi pdfs of the new covers. We just need the old one...

You weren't mentioned until after Snowcone's post. Since you criticize me so much for being an edit whore, reread Snowcone's post. ;)

I have the cover with the IGN logo on it..

I'll make a rigorous attempt to scan it in tonight (after homework)

edit:

well I've spent 1.5 hours on this stupid scanner and this is the best I can get:

(the link wouldn't open for me just now but maybe it will later...)

I have an HP Photosmart C5280 All-In-One Printer/Scanner/Copier and I'm close to clueless on how to use the scanner software, etc..

If anyone can help me, pm me so I can scan this in the right way, lol.

Thanks Paul... but your scan right now is unusable. However, I think I could fix it. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If not there are plenty of free ones, even some web-based. A Google or AOL IM account is free and both offer instant messaging. If we coordinated a time, I could try to walk you through your scanning software and maybe find some options. PM me and we can work something out.

Did you get this sorted out with Paul?  If not, here's a scan that needs a few tweaks.  My other scans, if you remember, had some problems with the spine -- I didn't do much differently but this one seems fine.  This one just needs a small amount cropped out from the edges, and size reduction.  I hope this helps.

Okami Box Art with IGN Logo

Edit:  I noticed that my scanner is a little more fickle than I gave it credit.  I had to rescan the image since it had been cutoff without me noticing.  Sorry for the double upload and pretty monstrous file size.  URL link has been updated.

Did any of you receive your covers for this from the Art of Redemption form from Capcom?

I saw on their blog that they received a lot of requests and were sending them out in early/mid July and it'd take a couple weeks.  I live in Canada so I expect a longer shipping time, but was curious if there were any people in the US that got theirs already.

By the way, if you didn't see the update on the Capcom blog; the covers that are shipping will be dual-sided.  If you ordered the regular cover, you'll have one of the other two covers randomly placed on the other side of the sheet.  If you ordered one of the other two covers, you'll also get the regular on the other side.

I haven't received it yet.

Nor have I but I may have been disqualified from ordering two. Although they were different addresses and names, same IP might have banned me. Shenske converted the pdfs to jpgs and they're on the site now. I'll have to print out the artistic ones for when I get Okami PS2 when it goes Greatest Hits in September.

Do I need to call Capcom and ask for these? I know a handful of people there.

The only one we need is a scan from someone who has the original IGN logo cover. I've tried pestering people on CAG but no luck.

I posted the raw for this a day or so after you originally asked for that cover in this thread.  Look at the post above my recent and you'll see it there.  However, the link doesn't work anymore as the file was moved to the Nintendo Wii directory.  I guess I should have spoken up.  Oh well.

When I get home I'll rescan it and see what I can do.

Here's the link to that RAW for posterity:
