New Genesis/Mega Drive covers....

To clear any confusion

I think the dimensions of his case are wrong, because you can notibly tell from the cover above it

The Imandix 3D case seems to be thicker than other's previews.  Not the cover itself =P

That's probably it.  Imadix has a lot of different case sizes to choose from, some are thicker which is probably what's causing the letters to appear wider.  Here's a stock photo of the original, you can really notice the difference on the "N"




Not that it's a big deal or anything. I just figured this is one of the few sites on the net where we can really appreciate perfectionism, or closeness to it 
The cover is great though, I really like the screenshot arrangement on the back.  Great stuff!  I'll be printing this one off for sure once it goes up.

I just meant that as shenske has made this template personally that he surely did take some time and made it as close as retail looking as possible. I really think one can say he knows what he is doing.

The font i used in fact is slightly thicker than the retail version used.  I used a font instead of cutting it from a cover scan so it would be vectored. The Genesis, 32X and Game Gear all use the same font with varied thickness in the lettering with each game system.  I felt since fonts are vectorized (even though it is slightly off) using the font outweighed using a raster cutout of the logo from a 15 years old cover scan.

Ah cool, yeah that makes sense.  Which font did you use, if you don't mind me asking.  I've searched through all the Copperplate varations and found that the Copperplate SSi bolded, with a bit of scaling looks exactly like the one Sega used back in the day.  If you guys are interested, you can grab it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ELWWKY5E

And I'm sorry if it came off as me questioning your work, that wasn't my intent.  I have nothing but appreciation for the high quality of your creations.  I only intended to give irvgotti some feedback, and now contribute the font to the community.

Cheers.

No hard feelings  plus i decided to update it. Thanks to badchad's idea i hit the cover back up and now i can say its complete.

did this one and never uploaded it so here u go

That Ooze cover looks great! I always dig the covers that have something popping out of the frame.  Plus it's awesome to see another cover of a paper boxed Genesis game.  I can't wait to print that one off.  Good job man!

I made this one but dunno if i should upload because of the nba sticker on the front.

[djshok]

Maybe you can cover it with an NBA logo: http://www.sports-logos-screensavers.com/user/NBA_Logo.jpg

Great idea but it would then fall into the "custom" category. I'm trying to keep this one OEM. Thanks for that link btw can be very useful

Would you do this in vertical US format for SNES, pretty please

As long as it is high quality (300dpi) then go ahead and upload it.  That way when the time comes that someone has the cover without the sticker it can be an easy fix
