KaiserWave: Alright, I'll make a Thinpak version too.
UncleBob: The reason the controllers are sideways is because they take up too much space when laid out horizontally. The only solution would be to reduce the size of the icons or edit the top somewhat so it can accomodate more icons.
Here are the latest versions...



As you can see, the information bar at the bottom has been reduced in height. This is now as simple as turning on a layer group - you can switch between the big information bar and the smaller one that you see here. Switching between US and Japanese versions is also just a mouse click removed. All things considered, as long as you stick to my layer layout, you will be cranking out these covers in no time.
I also added numbers to the GameCube and Classic Controller icons (a nice idea 'borrowed' from someone 's GameCube template whose name escapes me right now).
Not shown in these latest screenshots are the Super Famicom logos for Japanese covers - (finally found it on

No promises if the PSD will work flawlessly in Gimp - I have read that Photoshop CS2 recently added layer group nesting, so that might be one feature that the Gimp currently lacks, and unfortunately I use layer groups practically everywhere. I will try it out in The Gimp before publishing it, but I will not delay it if it doesn't work 100% correctly.
