32X covers

[TSOLfan]

Ok, I gotta ask, as it's really starting to bug me.  What is it with this site and the orange 32x stripes?  Everywhere that I've posted these covers and people I've shown them to seem to agree that the 32x covers were in fact fairly light.  Some games were darker to a certain degree but not nearly as dark as the colours in the the template.

Not sure if this helps much, but when building my 32X collection, I only came across one game with the lighter yellow stripes, all of the rest had the darker orange (though, nowhere near as dark as some of the covers in the thread), and in fact, the one I have with the lighter stripes, I also have with the darker stripes.

Here's a photo for reference:

(Also the blue MD one, but that's another conversation).

What problem do you have with the blue MD template? Grumbledukes looks pretty damn nice when printed in my oppinion...

Ive got 4 CIB 32X games and their all the darker shade like the top copy of Star Wars Arcade. Thats why I suggested using a darker shade.

Alright guys, here are some pics:





All the covers were printed using laser printers, the Spider-Man cover was printed using a Samsung, the others using 2 different Xerox printers. I unfortunately don't have access to a high quality ink jet, so I can vouch for the results on those, however with the laser printers you can see a pretty clear distinction between the lighter and darker stripes. So, what do you think?

Heres a shot with an HP Vivera inkjet, the middle one is obviously the lighter one.

I've used and always preferred Shenske's template for the 32X, all of the 32X covers I've made have used that template.

We already have a version with the orange stripes, so I don't think I need to make an orange one.

djshok, looks great as always - my apologies for not being able to find the PSD. Glad to see that didn't stop you and you made it work! Keep up the good work!

So it looks like we're still undecided on which color scheme to use? :\ That's disappointing. Oh well, more covers to edit for later, I suppose.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized we have the orange ones already. Are you just going to make covers with both colors from now on?

[BadChad]

You should probably make one with orange stripes anyway. The one we have one the site has the banner across the bottom which isnt actually on the retail cover.

What he said. Please and thanks.

Yeah, I guess so, it seems like it's the best way to go.  And yeah I'll make an orange version of the Tempo that doesn't have the banner, if you guys want it.
