Looks like the cover is missing some of the standard items from the Vertical template.
Gray bars that run along the bottom and top of the cover. Along with the sold by Capcom
Also on the upper left corner of the back it should have the game title as well
BadChad:
I also suggest you use the title off the retail cover we have on the site rather than the in-game one. Heres what your cover should look more like:

First off welcome to the site. There are a lot of things in the template you changed that will really throw off consistency. When you downloaded the template it included a readme file and in the template it reminded you to make sure to read the readme file. The first rule guideline in the file is " Don't change major parts of the template. Only change what is listed in the following."
Superriceboy pointed out many of the changes/inconsistencies that were changed that should be changed back.
1. Gray bars that run along the bottom and top of the cover. Along with the sold by Capcom
2. Also on the upper left corner of the back it should have the game title as well
Here are also some things that i noticed should be changed back ...
3. logo placements have changed
4. all of the vertical SNES covers on the site do not have any artwork on the side so the pic of X & Zero should be removed
5. When you removed the gray bars you also altered the SNES design logo to a square. When you changed the gray bars back this should be changed back too.
6. Why is there ESRB info on the back but not the front? When everything is changed back there is a folder in the template for all the ESRB logos you need.
I know that seems like a lot but i'm really trying to keep consistency with the covers using my template on the site. Like i was saying before; welcome to the site and i look forward to seeing your cover when the template has been changed back to its original way :)

Good suggestion. It is not completely necessary to use the logo from the box (i think it would look better but i'm not making th cover) but it is a good source to ensure that the logo is high quality. When you capture the logo used in the game it wont be high resolution. I can't really zoom into Old_School_Metal_Head's cover because it has been resized but it does look like the logo is probably low rez.

thanks for the welcome and the suggestions :) the only reason I changed the layout was to make it look a bit more like the template for the sfc games, I think i'll go back to the original template and use a high res version of the original logo I found. also when I downloaded the template my computer would not open it , do I need photoshop to use the templates? I replaced the in game logo and added the regular box art logo and the original template, I think it improved the cover a bit. what do you guys think of the revision?
BadChad:
There you go. Now you got it. That looks much better!
As long as the artwork is in good quality you might have yourself a pass.
