Custom Cover Art Thread

Has anyone done a Superman 4k 5 film artwork? I put them all into one case and was trying to find artwork. Couldn't find anything

I've seen this requested for a while and decided to give it a go. I'm not familiar with the films, I got the synopses and special features from Arrow's website. If there are any errors, please let me know and I'll fix them asap. I should note these are for 12.5 mm Viva Elite cases.

Glancing through them, I don't think you need to list the big book packaging as part of the special features since they aren't in the big book with these covers. lol

It would also give you some space on the back in case you wanted to add more info about the specific movies or pictures.

Those are very nice. I can't comment on the special features as, other than Mighty Peking Man, these aren't really to my taste, but I do like the front covers of those, how you've used the same font and made them feel, thematically, like they're all part of a series. Really good work!

It looks as if the features for both El Mariachi and Desperado have been mixed up. I'll be able to confirm once I get my hands on my discs but I think the bed head short is only on the Mariachi disc and the music videos and cutting room features are on Desperado, these look as if they've been duplicated across both covers as well as the whole El Mariachi film being listed as a special feature on Desperado.

Hope you don't mind me pointing this out and I'm not being critical, excellent work. I'm still using them but figured if it was me I'd want to know so I could update it.
As always thank you for your effort and continuing to supply such cool custom covers for people like myself to use.

Thanks for the kind words jidaigeki Both El Mariachi and Desperado share the same disc on the 2001 release from Sony that I used as reference for these covers. Since everything is on the same disc, I didn't bother to differentiate the special features. Cheers.

I'm not familiar with most of the Shaw Brothers films either JC but these covers look great. Kudos to you for taking them on and very nice work!

Here's some more 4K covers. I started the Bloodsport one before it was announced in the U.K. It's a English friendly cover for the German release. For the other cover, I'm not a fan of Kino's bland font for the spine and kind of generic back, so I did my spin on it.

Just want to say I browse this thread once in a while and everyone does such fantastic work, studios should be looking here for talent as some of their art is bad beyond words. Rosemary's Baby 4K art is a good recent example, just horridly uninspired.

I purchased this TV series today. When cataloging each season I worked up front and back cover images. Thought some might enjoy checking them out. I authored each season to Blu-ray as well. Pics of the Top Menu for each can be seen in my Doom9 forum post here.

What I would really like to see are square covers. Because CD jewel case >>>>>> BD case.

I own a number of movies that came packaged that way. One of my favorites is pictured below.

Has anybody made a Blu-ray cover for Disney's "Watcher in the Woods" (1980) using the original artwork?

Of the many bad opinions you put forth, this is the worst.

Far cheaper to replace than BD cases. UHD case prices are crazy.

Takes up far less space than a BD case. Makes sense for the dimensions of the disc, whereas a BD case has about a third of that space above and below for no good reason and is also about 1.5 times as thick. I'm sorry we can't all live in mansions like you.

If the hub is broken, the disc won't slide and bang around as much, since there is so little room. Cleopatra the Fox movie arrived last week with disc 1 out of its hub, banging around inside until it got to my apartment. Happens every now and then.

The insert doesn't slide off center as they sometimes do in BD cases, and no dirt can get under the plastic.

Since the hub is much shallower, it's far easier to remove the disc than in some of these BD case hubs that grip so tightly that you almost crack the disc.

Why are BD cases better? Or is this another of those posts where you just throw insults without explaining?

I need a six disc UHD case for a replacement. Picked up the Shaun of the Dead / Hot Fuzz / The Worlds End 4K for $2 but the case is being held together by about 1mm of black plastic and the insert clear cover...well, plus the slip cover. Just not going to pay $15 for a new case.

[John_Carpenter]

I'll update the cover once the specs are announced, but knowing Paramount, they'll just have the same features as the last Blu-ray.

The logos and such across the bottom on the back portion, the ones which appear in all white. If you make them black instead they wouldn't get drowned out by the light background they're sitting on. Just a thought.
