Can someone help me create a cover called Whirlo, like the one below:

Thanks.

It's possible to make a placeholder

I can't get to it until next week. Remind me if you don't see it.

I looked into making this one a while ago, but I couldn't find a good logo and cutting it out of the low quality EU box art was going to be too much of a pain. I think I still have a half finished cover in a folder somewhere. The rest of it seemed doable, but the logo was a deal breaker.

Thanks marioxb, but that's still too small for me to make a good logo. It just gets too blurry when I enlarge it. Maybe someone with more Photoshop skill than I knows how to enlarge it while keeping the hard edges without pixelating it (maybe turning into a vector image?) but that's beyond my skill set.

Awesome! Thanks sheep. I'll look for the file and hopefully put something together this evening.

Here's a horizontal US retail version of the Whirlo box art. It's the best that could be done using artwork gleaned from the internet. Thanks to sheep for the logo, otherwise this would have gone unfinished. Rather than copy Tusk's cover exactly, I tried to reproduce what the cover might have looked like based on other Namco game covers from the era and the the PAL version of the game. The back text mostly matches the Tusk cover, but that's only because we both apparently used Google Translate. Perhaps someone could make a vertical version for JackieX now that the horizontal is done.

I can try whipping one up once I sleep some (just got home from nightshift).

Mind posting the text here so I can copy/paste it.
