Looks good so far. Do you plan to clean up the SuperCD and HE System logos a bit? Those make it seem a bit rough..

Any reason why you chose the PC Engine logo over the Turbo Duo logo?

I think he chose the PC Engine logo because we found a clean version of it. I don't know. :)

just scan any game and photoshop it.. lol duh.

I scanned the logos off my copy of Dragon Half for Insanity.


The back could use a few screenshots though.  Put them in a scatter on the back, like 3 screen shots in a > pattern....and then maybe duplicate the artwork for the manual so theres an unmolestered one to.

by > pattern, I mean

There are clean vector logos out on the internets. I have them as well if you need them.

I was considering putting something on the back... but I'm not sure. The insert art is a photograph of an actual painting by Rose-Marie Kossowan. I don't think I wanna mess with it. :)

It would be a bad idea not to put "Frozen Utopia" somewhere on the outside of the packaging. 

Since it is a nice painting, how about shrinking it to make a normal back insert and then using either the back of the manual or the the inside of the tray card for a second, unmarred reproduction?  (Even with an opaque, black tray, it would be a fun easter egg.)

I still have my Gate of Thunder insert file with all logos, text, and legalese saved as separate layers.  I'd be happy to put a rear insert together if you'd like.  (See here:  http://www.mediafire.com/?gv5i1xusbplquiw )

I agree with Vestcoat, that the back image would look great under the CD inside the case.

However, if it were to stay as is, I'd have no complaints.

The four people on the cover, what are they're names?


I count five.....


One's a ginger. Do they count as people now?


I guess that means there's only three people on the cover then. :wink:



This is more like what I had in mind-





I think that the HE system/PCE logo is more universal and looks much better overall, but a reversable Turbo branded manual back would be very cool to include. If a clear tray with printed inner insert is doable, then this painting is a good candidate. But the example above is more or less how I imagined it before doing anything. This or the cover background painting could be used in a subtle way as part of the CD label art.

Those are placeholders in the exact position as they appear on the LoXII cover. That entire image is rough. The real image is 600dpi.

I'd be fine with the HE logo minus the "PC Engine". Here's a glorius full TTi version for all the Turbo fans:

In my own personal opinion, including the HE System and Super CD-ROM^2 logos should be sufficient.

If you absolutely have to include the PCE or Duo logo as well, it'd make far more sense to use the TurboDuo logo since this is a U.S. release in English/French language. It is not a Japanese game, and does not contain a Japanese language option.

All that said, I'd personally just stick with the HE System and Super CD-ROM logos since those are universal.

Why not a reversible cover? PCE on one side, TG16 on the other.
