That does work much better. Especially, since there is so little image below the title bars. It was harder before to associate it with the rest of the image above. But now it is much clearer as to how the two image sections are joined.

Looks really good to me, too!

Man, I wish my UK set would get here soon!

All right, taking into consideration some of the critiques and suggestions, here's version 2 of my BTTF Trilogy for a 3-disc standard-size case:

I like everything about it except the anniversary text on the spine. It makes the spine looks overly crowded, but other than that this is the best BTTF cover I have seen.

I quite like this one. But it could be more red for the lettering and sort of a blue backing thing.
Sorta like this:






^If the logo looked more like it does for the title screens with the specific gradients and border type things, you bet I'll download it.

That is one awesome cover. Too bad Universal didn't use the time circuit like that.

Fiinally posted my various ALIEN covers. Visit the gallery HERE, see preview below.



In order: 3 covers for 2-BD cases; 2 covers for 3-BD cases; a 6-BD case with 15mm spine; a 6-BD case with 22mm spine; an egg variant for 2 3-BD cases; egg variant for 6-BD case with 15mm spine; egg variant for 6-BD case with 22mm spine.

Hopefully that will cover any needs for this design. Of course, Rusty's covers are looking pretty darn good, too! I'm thinking of getting a 6-BD cover printed by Adorama on metallic paper. If anyone has an extra 6-BD case I could buy, let me know! (Edit: Grabbed 2 Vortex cases on eBay for $8)

Tell me if you see any errors or anything that really bugs you. But...I'm kind of done for now, just waiting for the UK BDs to arrive!

Imrahil you could add 25th Anniversary logo as some sort of watermark behind all the clocks; if you really wanted to note that it was the 25th anniversary addition.

You wouldn't be able to make out the whole watermark but enough of it to identify that it says 25th anniversary.


Just an idea.

The first three will work for me. Thanks.

My BDs shipped from the UK two days ago. Sometimes I get them in a week, but of course Amazon estimates mid-November, so we shall see.

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I've got some covers I've put together, but was wondering if anyone could tell me how you show your covers three dimensionally, like this:

Thanks a bunch! That definitely makes the covers look more presentable.

Here's the cover I did for The Edge. I wasn't crazy about the one they put on the Blu-Ray release, so I just re-made the DVD cover.

Mine were waiting for me at work this morning! After all that designing, I like the package so much I may not even use custom covers (though the UK box can fit BD cases as well). Unlike the box, the spine art of the foldout doesn't have the ratings symbols.

I like these, but how the heck do we get the actual files so we can print them up?

PM the creator and ask him very nicely.

If you do please let me know the specifics of what you ordered and your opinion of the end result. I thinking of doing the same thing.

Sorry guys, I've been out of town, had to fix the credits, and I got way more requests for these than I ever expected. Just going threw them all now. Man some people are so rude and demanding when asking for something for free. Its funny but surprising, its a gift, not a custom order. Sheesh! This is not at you merrick, (I wont name names).

[Trean]

dv8 you need to work on your customer service department at that free custom covers biz you are running :P

I got a few PMs and requests almost immediately after you posted the covers, had to redirect the guys to you.


I don't know why people sometimes think I have a huge storage of all the custom covers on this thread and I am the one to distribute them. Well that would be awesome, but I don't.

Will do. Right now I'm liking the ALIEN set as is, but when my 6-BD cases arrive I may try a few things. The UK box actually fits 3 standard 11mm BD cases almost perfectly (box is a little deeper), or maybe a 22mm case plus an 11mm case.
