US would be NCAA Basketball: https://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?game_id=4576

But if you want case that actually says World League Basketball... It is doable but we would need high quality raw material.

I'm 95% complete in making a custom PAL cover from the US version. It will be in English only. Will post here when complete. Kinda fun. Didn't notice the "NCAA" on the backboard (only the US version of course) until working on this.

Arseen, Arseen, Arseen. When you gonna learn? you mean that you and your photoshop tool-using cover cleaners need hi-res scans. :-) Maybe someday the covergurus will learn how to use tools other than cleaning tools. LOL.

Anyway, i used the crap french cover (npes) which is always low res to recreate the logo. I do not use photoshop so i cannot offer an object form for further editing. I have no time to prefect this logo so my quick drawing should be good enough to utilize. Also illustrating that logos can be recreated from low-res material.

by the way, that crappy npes or nintandbox site always borrows coverproject scans and resizes them and brands them with the npes mark. I guess that they think people are as stupid as they are and will not notice the scan is borrowed from tcp. LOL. French people must have tiny monitors to think that 300dpi is acceptable.

Also, Arseen, I am planning to recreate the characters from Claymates for you since years have passed and i haven't worked on it yet. I get busy. So whener i am finished with your Claymayes characters, then i will post the image for you. However, i do not intend to add that cheap photoshop plugin metallic look to them like the logo. The game is called 'Clay' mates not cheap metallic plugin effect mates. Just sayin' i intend to color them the same as the box. You could always alter the final results yourself.

Oooh that's awesome! I think I'll use that for my custom. Here's what I did so far (actually all that was left was retyping the back text). I made the (for lack of better words, since I'm American and I don't really "know" PAL covers) regular and orange versions. The base is of course the finished US cover from the site. Everything was replaced from hi-res sources, except the logo. For my logo, I just used the American "Basketball" (even though the PAL version is a little different) and tried my best to clean up "World Leauge". I will try to replace with your version now. Thanks! Had to remove the "NCAA" from the backboard and also expand the image a bit for the orange version. By the way, what font is used for SNES back text? The synopysis? For some weird reason, this text is not in the SNES template on the site.

Fantastic work, marioxb! I am sorry that i cannot perfect the logo. I am battling an illness of sorts, maybe corona. I am not well. I spent an hour creating the logo but i cannot continue perfecting it. I cannot stop coughing, sneezing and blowing my nose. I feel horrible but i wanted to try to help you out with a logo.

You did well with this logo. I like it:-) If i can help you with anything else, then please let me know. I'll try to help between resting.

Best wishes :-)

Thanks, spieler! Your logo is great. I wouldn't have even known you were sick! Get better soon! Here's a hi-res of mine for comparison. I did what I could on the "World League", and you can see it's not as nice as yours. Will definitely use yours instead now!



Here's my layer of what I had to replace/ change from the US cover. Part of the artwork is being replaced due to the removal of the circle logos and erasing of the "NCAA" in the backboard, which I didn't even notice was there at first (still have to replace the Super Mario World screenshots and retype the back text of course):

Great! Do you happen to know what font they use? Or close approximation?

Hi marioxb, i do not know which font. I have tried my fonts search but the list is not exact:
Ultimate Serial Xbold
Zurich Std

matching fonts is always a difficult task. I will try again tomorrow. I need to take some medicine and rest.

Best wishes and Goodnight (from Germany)

Maybe copy what Nintendo did to make the NSO Switch online cover? What is that- an image from the manual?

Hi marioxb. I'm not sure what Arseen is doing with the artwork that he allready has from a former member. He just requested that the characters from the hologram be recreated. I'll leave to him to decide what to do with everything.

The hologram cover of US version has two alternating images of both which I have scan (scanned by me, both available somewhere in my Mediafire account that I can't access at work).

The one in the NSO image and the other is used in this cover all cleaned up: https://www.mediafire.com/?8hg3m69i37gmil7 (was done from my scan if I understood correctly).
What I want (way beyond my skills) is similar cleaning (retaining the 3D effect look) done also to the other one.
After that I'll just transplant the image to the cover already created (the one linked).

Owner of NPES has my permission to use my scans as do I have/had access to his scans.

Arseen, Arseen, Arseen. When you gonna learn? you mean that you and your photoshop tool-using cover cleaners need hi-res scans. :-) Maybe someday the covergurus will learn how to use tools other than cleaning tools. LOL.

With lowres scans you'll never get as good results as with high quality ones.
Besides my photoshop (or actually Paint.net) skillare next to none exsisting hence I use Oversight badge instead of Cover Admin. :P
