i must say it's grown on me - wasn't keen on using it at first, but now i've completed a few customs for people i think i might switch to it. Although, as i'm about to move to a 7mm case for my own collection, it will be a VERY modified spine i end up with.

Looks basic - but so was my original.

I prefer this one for some reason. I just like the simplicity of this template. The GFW one is pretty good too though.

Hexxxer:
I was thinking about modding a design to feel a little more home grown but attempt to match current cover spines in a way. My old attempt was based off of the PC DVD/CD template which I always thought was hideous and hence the final product I produced stayed to close to that for the sake of matching spines.

Examples of my previous attempt:

I don't like that one in the Sonic R version as some of it feels low res, odd textures and feels abit amateurish, that is just personal preference though.

So that being said, I would like to implore the users of this board to help design a new cover. It does not have to be one everyone uses but at least it would bring in a standard of sorts. We could work on a different Dos, Window, Mac, Linux configuration if it were desired as well think and thick spines. Everyone using it should get a say on it's production and anyone can contribute mockups and designs at any point. Not everyone is going to like everything but at least everyone gets a say.

The one standard I would put out for these templates though is the images MUST be of the highest quality. Nothing that seems scanned or of a low dpi fell. The template I originally built was built using vectors and I would like to see that again if possible.

sheep2001:
agreed - i remade the games for windows banner on the ones i have just submitted, as the one on the site is a pretty grainy scan.

i was using Hexxers "PC Game" template for a while, but have gone off it. I quite like the Windows logo banner that Sonic R is on, but my favourite at the moment is the "Games for Windows" - However, as i said above, I am moving to 7mm so I don't mind which standard gets passed for DVD cases, as i'll probably just end up doing my own thing anyway - unless of course we do a 7mm version of the adopted standard.............

Hexxxer:
I think whatever standard we decide on will include a 7mm plus any other common DVD case sizes. I like the Games for Windows cover but it's kinda like putting a SNES cover on a Genesis game, Games for windows represents some features like XBox 360 controllers, windows live accounts among other things. I would say a good reference point would be the games for windows case as it is simple and has some elegance in it.
