So I'm relatively new to video game collecting still, and I decided that I'm going to try and collect all of the Pokemon games, or all of the main series tittles at least. I already printed out a couple of covers for emerald, and fire red, but I think I might prefer them to have the Nintendo DS logo on them since they are going to be mixed in with my DS games, just to make them look a lot neater. Anyways I was just interested to see if anyone else had an opinion about this, and what they thought? XD

IMHO it definitely has to say Game Boy Advance on the spine, but maybe use the inverted black & white logo instead of the silver to make it blend better with the DS spines.

I'll whip up sample to show what I mean.

It'd seem silly to me to have the DS logo as they're not DS games.  :P

Agreeing with the others here, I feel like if its a GBA game, it should have the Gameboy Advance on the spine.

wow I totally forgot about the black and white version of the logo being available, I was being dumb and trying to figure out how to get the fading grey version of the logo to be inverted black/white, and ended up settling on using the ds logo instead XD, the inverted black/white version is probably a better idea XD thanks for the example. :)

I don't know was there inverted black/white version, so I took the normal black/white version, opened it in editing software and pressed button that said invert colors. ;)
Then copy/pasted that.

And glad I could help.

yeah I didn't realize that there was an invert button in paint, or I forgot if I did know, so I was just trying to make it harder for myself than it actually was XD thanks again.

There used to be but not anymore.
I use freeware called Paint.net (Paint dot net).
Or you can use Gimp or Photoshop CS2 which too are free.
