Hello all, new to The Covers project and making covers!  This was born from necessity; I *had* a good-condition box for New Super Mario Bros Wii, until my wife let the kids spill juice on it.  The paper appears to be a total loss.  Thanks to the hard work at The Covers project it looks simple enough to print a new cover, but I don't see how to duplicate the metallic hologram of "Wii" on the front and spine of the cover.  Any ideas how to do this?  I was thinking about cutting this part off the original cover, or cutting out the "Wii" letters on the new cover and putting the original metallic hologram behind the cut-out.  Thanks in advance!

if it is just metallic silver, you can try to foil silver onto the paper, but it is an extremely difficult process (google it).
If it is a hologram, you may be out of luck.

I circuit cutter and similar holo foil decal paper would be your best bet.
