I've notice that a lot of the DVD cover templates put the system logo in a white square and is positioned vertically. Why is that? Every "official" DVD case insert I've seen has the logo rotated to match the spine text, so if you lay the DVD down where the text reads "normally", the logo matches it. In addition to that, the logo background color always matches the background of the text, so there is no white square behind the logo. I noticed this even on my PS1 games, but the covers I've seen have the logo on a white background, with the "Playstation" text in white, on a black background. And in these, the text background color is orange, but the logo uses white. Isn't it the Europe/PAL Dreamcast cases that use the orange background, and don't they use orange as the bg color of the logo as well, with the actual logo in white? Just wondered, thanks! :) |

Ah, Mr. Driller, you stole almost as much of my youth as Tetris did. --- Quote from: AppleQueso on July 30, 2008, 03:22:05 AM --- --- Quote from: Haoshiro on July 28, 2008, 10:38:38 AM ---I've notice that a lot of the DVD cover templates put the system logo in a white square and is positioned vertically.

I'm sorry that that choice disappoints you, but you wouldn't be the first nor will you be the last to disagree with that choice. Lumberjack42 |

Lumberjack42 --- End quote --- The way I see it, if you don't like the spine formatting, etc on a template, then simply well, create your own! It's not very hard. and Lumberjack, I actually quite like the PS2 influenced design, would make it look very nice if I say, put a copy of Soul Calibur next to Soul Calibur II |
