@bpmford Go Blackhawks Please check your PMs...I asked for some covers but haven't heard back from you since you sent Saving Private Ryan.

Thanks

Would anyone like to make me a custom Blu Ray cover for Halloween (1978) as I hate the one used for it. Also, I need one for Halloween II (2009). Thank you!

Hey everyone, i must say - i'm in such awe and amazement at most of the work on here! Great great Stuff!!!

Has/could anyone create some good cover art for the recently released BAD BOYS blu-ray? i really cant stand the Horrific job they gave us with the green metallic tone and its Bad Boys 2 wanna-be vibe. i was hoping for an awesome cover that maybe featured the original poster art from 1995...

oh and anyone know if anyone did a nice custom job for true Romance. sad they went w/ that dated cover.

any help or info would be great, thanks!


also, do those beautiful BLACK BD cases actually exist or just pipe dreams?

The black cases exist but they are very hard to come by. There is a distributor in France that uses A LOT of colored cases. Their name escapes me at the moment. Maybe someone can post the link for their page on this site. It shows the cover art and the colored cases that they coome in. I wanna say it's Wild Side but I am not sure.

I would like to know this too.

I don't know if this is the right thread for my other question, but I have got the Star Trek Original Motion Picture Collection, which contains extremely slim cases. I haven't measured them, but it seems to be only 5mm or so. Does anyone know where to buy those ~5mm Blu-ray cases?
Edit: I have measured it and the 7 Star Trek cases exactly match 3 14mm spine cases, so that would make the spine on those ultra slim cases 6mm.

Since I'm reorganzing my collection I need to figure out which cases to use and then I can create custom covers for them. I can choose between 14mm, 11mm and 6mm, which means I can store either 208, 264 or 480 Blu-rays in the rack I'm using. I've tested it a bit and 14mm looks the most solid and neat, although 11mm looks good as well. However, with 6mm cases you can barely read the title and they won't stand on their own (i.e. when they're not supported on both sides). So I guess I'll choose between 14 and 11mm, but any tips are more than welcome.

And how about the quality of Blu-ray cases in general, I've seen multiple brands on Amazon.co.uk (Amaray, CVB Media and Hama), but you can't judge the quality of them on a picture of course. I know that there is a huge difference in quality with dvd cases, but I have only ordered a 3-pack 11mm Blu-ray cases so far, because I had 2 damaged cases.

Again sorry if this is the wrong thread, I didn't know where else to put my question.

Well shockfly...

As a regular custom cover designer, I make my covers for 11mm cases... these are the standard north american cases that can hold from 1-3 discs...

The 14mm cases are standard in the UK and most of europe... they are also used here but only for cases that hold from 3-6 discs.

The standard is 11mm... I prefer them , they look the nicest... the 6mm ones I find are ugly and not legible on the shelf.

Also, the standard and most popular Blu-ray case is the Viva Elite, and they can be found at a bunch of retailers... if you need more help on this I can let you know which ones and which ones might provide the 6mm slim cases...

Let me know if you need anything else!

That's debatable.

[estranged5252]

would any one be willing to make individual covers for The Man With No Name Trilogy (A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad And The Ugly) and also Where Eagles Dare and Kelly's Heroes? Any help would be appreciated.

Well... that's just from my experiences... yes I know the Vortex ones are the other style and they are solid and look good, but I still like the clean look of the Viva ones...

But not everyone likes one I know

Why don't you add it to the requests in the group, might get more eyes seeing it there

just finishing up WOTW & SE7EN now that I have all the specs. Will post them and get caught up on PM's today and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay peeps, been lost in some amazing new covers I'll be posting soon!
