Okay Version 2.0 has been created:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_YLPsP7GX0ZWVAzdmpMbEVSWDA/view?usp=sharing
i decided to use the cover from the comic of the game because of the longer image and because it looks better.
Things that still need to be done
1.New remade screenshots from the game(i just pulled some random ones from the internet as of now).
2.better quality vehicle renders for that part next to the logo in the back.
3.Anything else that needs changing/general Improvements

Remake the cover, and submit it. And send me a personal message that it's intended to replace the old one on the site.

Here's a retail style cover that should be good enough to replace the current cover on the main site. The back is heavily influenced by shenske's wonderful Dreamcast cover, so credit goes to him for the general layout. Your cover looks awesome too Victini, I dig the custom cover art!  I'll leave mine posted here for a day or two for feedback and then upload it to the site. Everyone please give input regarding mistakes that need correcting or items that may need modifying before it's Cover Project worthy. Thanks!

I actually just cleaned up the scan text for the ISBN on my cover, but it looks to be OCR-A, which can be found here: https://typekit.com/fonts/ocr-a

To ID fonts a good resource is fontsquirrel.com. I just save a cropped image of the mystery text and upload it to their font identifier. Quite often, the font I'm seeking is somewhere in the resulting list. Also, myfonts.com has a pretty good "what the font" service that works in a similar fashion and can provide a different selection of choices.

Thanks a bundle that checks one thing off the list! :D

Tyler, your covers are great, buy you LOVE to darken the hell out of them (from what I am noticing).  Just looked at the Xbox thread and they are all.. dark.  Lighten Up! (pun intended!)

The only cover I adjusted in the Xbox thread was NCAA 2K3. Speed Kings and Freaky Fliers were just downloaded from elsewhere online and posted as-is, and Mace was just KaiserWAVEs PS2 cover copy/pasted into the xbox template with no color correction or contrast adjustments. I take your point though, and will pay more attention to the brightness of my covers. Is this a trend you've noticed with my other work as well? I've done 150+ covers now, I'd hate to think they're all too dark!
