Well, rummaging through my grandparent's house, I discovered some blank floppy disks. I thought to myself "I wonder if the cover project has floppy disk labels?" Sadly, there is none. I can't find floppy disk labels of doom and doom 2 which is sad because I really want the authentic experience of playing the game.  :-[

The 5¼ ones or 3½? In any case, that's a nice idea to scan those.

I might try it if someone can get proper dimensions for the labels at 300 dpi.

I used to have an SNES copier that copied the games onto 3.5" floppies. I used to cut box art from magazines and those flyer magazine things that are free at as was then called EB games. I taped  them on the disks with packing tape.

Most floppy labels were VERY simple..  I had the entire doom set.. Just said disk 1 of x and had a BLUE/RED Doom logo in the center of the floppy label.  It was pretty much the fanciest. Others were printed with impact/dot matrix printers.

I started doing some work on this on my other computer & will upload on Monday. It is ridiculously simple, so I should have the DOOM floppy completely done for all versions then.

Just to make sure, the label size is 2.675" by 2", correct? That's the number I found on labels offline.
