I was recently able to snag a copy of Little Samson and noticed that the only cover available for it in here isn't exactly the best quality, as far as readability of text goes.

So I spent some time this morning re-working it. I re-typed all of the text on the box, captured new screen shots, cleaned up the red bars along the top, cleaned up the "Little Samson" logo & Kikira/Gamm graphics on the back, changed the spine to match the retail box from photos I saw online (which required a tiny bit of recreating the logo), replaced all logos with higher quality vectors (Nintendo & Taito), and created a higher quality barcode exactly like the original.

I'm posting it here in case others wish to use it as well. If you notice any errors let me know, and I will correct them.

Thanks!!
Clay

Awesome! Knowing that I'll eventually need a clean cover to print, I've been avoiding this myself. I'm thrilled you spend the time on this cover.

No problem! Hopefully it comes in handy for you. I just switched mine out, and there is a noticeable difference in terms of readability between this one and the one officially on the site.

Not a bad start. A Freshly vectorized logo would certainly top this off. My old Little Samson cover could use an update!

The logo has been made in Illustrator, now all I need to do is add it to the actual cover file inside Photoshop and re-up it :)

Tomorrow of course, as it's time for me to go outside after 8 hours of staring at a computer :)

The new one should be up there saved for compatibility -- let me know if you're still having issues with it, so I can yell curse words at my computer  ;D

This looks great!

Thanks! I really like it now with the new vectorized logo in there. Glad that was suggested.

Hopefully I can do a little bit to help out the people here who have helped me get back in to my hobby :)
