New Matching Playstation Cases (PS1/PSX, PS2, PS3)
Velmeran:
Well, I'm hoping that the third times the charm when it comes to my attempt at creating a custom cover series.
Between Dropdox (great tool), an external HDD and 2 internal HDD's I'm hoping my .psd's are safe this go around!
Templates can be downloaded here
- PS1
- PS2
- PS3
Anyway, I'm personally a big fan of the latest PS3 logo and it's horizontal bar, so I set out to create a similiar/matching template based on that.
I've come up with the following templates (all based on DVD Case dimensions so I've got some more spine matching):
- PS1 / PSX*
- PS2
- PS3
I've tweaked color on the bottom of the horizontal bar to reflect the colors on the PS controllers -- and I'm currently debating if I want to use the pink on PSP cases, of if I'll leave it the yellow that's on the cases currently; thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
And now for a preview of the templates:
PS1
PS2
PS3
Example of All Spines Together (PSP Case would be in the normal PSP case and thus a little shorter, but for the pics I tossed it onto a dvd case)
Example of Spines & Horizontal Bars
Comments and thoughts would be greatly appreciated and if anyone's interested I can send you the .psds.
* PSX\PS1, I've always referred to my original PlayStation as a PSX and that's not going to change anytime soon... but yes I am aware that Sony did release an actual PSX in Japan, which could lead to some confusion and some people may not like it. I did try and make a PS1 logo, but I wasn't happy with any of the results.
So I had an idea on how to get a PS1 logo to work, so I went and tried the idea out and I think the logo actually turned out decent, so on the PS1 case I've got both the PS1 and PSX logos.
PSX (Based on the comments already in this thread I figure I'll stick with the PS1 logo I created, but still keeping this preview here, but moved further down to try and avoid additional confusion)

I for one would love to see this in full effect =D. Really love the idea!
Velmeran:
So I had an idea on how to possibly get the a PS1 logo to work... which didn't turn out too bad I suppose.
Logos
I've updated the initial post to include an example with the PS1 logo (but the spine/header&spine shots I left as they were)
Debating if I want to remove the feature icons from the PS1/PSX case and go to a style which matches the style used on PS2 and the PS3 case --- Text inside a box, though I'm leaning more towards leaving it as is, as I really like those icons.

I still don't understand why people insist on calling the PS1 the "PSX". The PSX was a PS2 with a built in HD and DVR. Other than backwards compatibility with the PS1 (as a standard PS2), the PSX has nothing to do with the PS1.

Well the PSX was the codename for the console before it came out. I do agree with you though, once the real PSX came out i have never and will never before to the original playstation as the psx. Best to avoid confusion :)
