I love the horizontal retail box art for SNES games but I hate the inconsistency of the horizontal spines. As a result, I've been taking horizontal and vertical covers and creating hybrid versions (horizontal art with vertical spines). I figure there must be others here who do the same thing so please post your covers here!  

The covers I'm uploading use the same spine as the vertical SNES template except for some minor differences. I removed the white bars around the developer logo, and I centered the titles between the SNES and developer logos.

Please let me know if there is already a thread for this.  :)

Im going to try to see if I can fit all of them on my mediafire account. Each cover is 20mb in size, so I might have to change the format first.

Ok, I'm converting all the covers from bmp(20mb) to png(7mb).
Already converted about a third of them, so I will upload my mediafire link in a day or two.

There were more covers than I thought there was. But, yeah...here they are.
I left the Reproduction covers in my box account though.

Wow this will certainly save me a lot of time.  I like the white border around the SNES logo though so I'll be adding that to some of your covers and I'm good to go.  I'll post any covers I create that I could not find in your set.

For my first 12 or so covers that I printed, I left the white border around the snes logo. After a few days I got tired of it and re-printed the covers without the borders. In retrospect, I would most likely use a different snes logo or symbol on the very bottom of the spine. The moral of the story is, find what you like and stick with it. After you make dozens and dozens of prints, your married to the format you stuck with. :-\

Yup I tried a few different things now for SNES and what I posted above is what I settled with. Ended up printing Chrono Trigger 3 times.

Thank you very much. I love this cover style. It's just perfect for my Super Nintendo Collection. I hope to see more of those covers in the future :-)
