Need the help of cover gurus PLEASE

[kingjohn3]

Could a cover guru humor me for one quick minute    ?  My idea for a NES spine the this, TOP...publisher logo from left to right (Capcom, Konami, etc), BOTTOM...red and white Nintendo logo from left to right, MIDDLE...game title filling in the rest of the space as close to retail as possible. BACKGROUND COLOR...match the retail box color.  For SNES I'm thinking this, TOP...again with publisher logo left to right, BOTTOM...red Super Nintendo logo with character sprite right above that, MIDDLE...game title filling in rest of space, BACKGROUND COLOR FROM TOP OF SPRITE ART TO BOTTOM OF PUBLISHER LOGO...match the color best associated with that game (Super Mario World-Blue, Yoshi's Island-Green, Zelda-Gold, etc)  I am not able to do this myself at the moment so I need one of you guys to please give it a shot just so I can see what it looks like.  Thanks so much in advance

I'm not going to lie ... I'm having trouble following what you are trying to say

This was something I whipped up for him a while ago, I been busy with other things to really sit down and help him.
Not sure If it is what he still wants.

Cool CV box, but I'm getting addicted to the semi-standard setup a lot of systems have with the system logo on the top, I don't think I could switch over.

But I do like the look overall.

After reading the text several times I think I know what he means.

NES:
Basicly what larryinc64 did but the NES logo should have white background (and whitout the Entertainment text?).
Spine background color should be what it was in the original box.

SNES:
Same idea but suitable sprite character added above the SNES logo and some suitable color behind the games name area (but what is the bacground color behingd the publisher logo, sprite and SNES logo ?).

What about where the developer is Nintendo?  2 nintendos on the spine, or one and lose unity?

This but with a bigger title logo if possible.

Nintendo Entertainment System (like on Larrys) at bottom with oval only at top (red and black or red and white, whichever looks best)

Hmmm....That's kind of where I'm stuck. Any ideas?

SNES Vertical spines are fine by me.

NES on the other hand would need similar uniformed spine.
Either direct ripp-off from SNES or similar in NES gray.

Maybe the "Theme" color from top to bottom, whole spine,  and place logos on top of that? I'm not educated enough in photoshop to know if that's possible.

Is what im asking for not a doable thing? Just askin because i really dont know

[irvgotti452]

i say draw out your idea in ms paint (or other built in paint program) as to illustrate your point.

[kingjohn3]

Trust me when I say I REALLY wish I could. I am totally and without question completely ignorant when it comes to making anything like this. You guys do such fantastic work and in such short time. I do think Larrys Castlevania mock up is fantastic. That blue starry look would work for me on most NES Capcom, konami and black box Nintendo games. For SNES I want the small Super Nintendo at the bottom with sprite art above that. Then title centered between that and publisher name which is at the very top. Instead of the normal black I would like to see blue, red, green, gold just whatever that main characters most closely associated color is.
