The official NeoGeoCD cover thread
by Shenske & Grumbleduke
I've been wanting to work on these for quite some time now.
i've created my own template and i wanted it to be completely original form the other covers out there.
(yes i did use other templates as inspiration ie: wii & dreamcast mostly)
Keep in mind i don't even own the system so i don't have any sort of priority list.
If you want a cover request it through this thread
(thanks to southtown, i probably don't need raws ;D ).
My template can be found in the template thread or in the link below

The Warlock:
Well, I don't have a Neo CD, but looking at the way that SNK did their covers, it seems like they were really trying to keep the template light to have a lot of room for the artwork. The big-ass curve you have might be a bit much (and you can probably get away with leaving off the stupid ratings, too).
But I don't exactly have the money to go Neo-collecting, so, y'know, whatever.
Dante_Ali:
Looks very good. As The Warlock suggested, I would make the curve somewhat smaller along with the Neo-Geo logo.
I don't see a problem with the ESRB ratings. I personally would get rid of the black bar with the white stroke - the Wii/PS2/PS3/X360 templates don't have anything of the sort - the ESRB logo is just laid out on top of the artwork.
KaiserWAVE:
Finally! I've been waiting for someone to tackle NGCD covers for a long time. I really like your template a lot! Great work!!
Like the others suggested I'd say keep the curve but make it smaller, giving the beautiful SNK artwork more room :) Like Dante suggested get rid of the black bar with the white stroke or make it smaller.
As a personal request, please drop the rating. At least on the front cover. I hate those things, they ruin the beautiful artwork :D Place it on the back if you feel like you have to have it.
But none of the NGCD games I have, regardless of region, have a rating.
shenske:
i'll take all the suggestions into consideration and get back to you guys with a revised template tomorrow.
i really like the stroke for some reason, i will make it much lighter though.
i will also get rid of the space for the esrb rating on the front and the # of players on the back.
