hmm? hmmmmm? I had to, guys. :)
Oh, and FYI - I'm clearly a moron at IMANDIX, so if anybody could tell me how to post the cases as you guys have been, please let me know. Otherwise, this view'll have to do.

hey argobeat, just throwing this out there. Do you think the spine label would look better if it were matching the front label? Like instead of black have it be gold like the front. I personally think it would look more awesome but its your template. What do you think?

I'm totally gonna have to agree with this. Gold on the spine would look totally badass.

Gold spine, no - sorry. I tried it before it and just looked "cheap" to me. The retail games have a black bar on the spine as does Irvgotti and I's Japanese DVD template (we threw around the possibility of a gold spine during the DVD template process and agreed that the black looked better), If I were to make it gold it would throw off the Satakore branding as well.

Actually I was thinking in terms of the spine cards that came on the original retail Saturn games, which are gold
Also all the DVD covers that are uploaded to the site have them too.

Yep, the spine cards are gold but I converted it from this thread: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=4182.15
Uploads just haven't been working since we made the new template haha
My line of thinking was: when you put a Japanese Saturn game on the shelf, you don't wrap the spine card around it (or I've never heard of anybody doing this lol all of my spinecards are tucked away safe) you just put the game on the shelf, which is a black spine. Some Saturn games also have a custom spine where the text or background is "special" when I made a few of those covers they all looked better with the black spine.
Regardless, it's still a work in progress - but unless there's a unanimous vote for gold spined saturn games I'm going to stick with the black. And even if there is, I'll more than likely continue making black spined covers.
