Hey, friends. I've recently started buying some SNES repro games, and due to a pet peeve of mine in which I want everything I collect to look as consistent as possible, I've decided to do my own labels for all the repro games I buy. The point is to make them look as official as I possibly can and maintain some uniformity across the labels. I'm no wizz in photo-editing, but I can usually fumble around until I get the job done.

I figured since I'm making them, I might as well share them, should anyone want to use them. At the very least it'll provide more options for those looking to make/buy repro carts.

I'll be making labels for games that I plan to order at some point and I'll update this post as I complete them. If anyone is looking for a specific game, feel free to make a request and perhaps I'll move it to the top of the list. If you want, you can provide resources and images you think would look good on the label for the game you request. That would help.
As of now, I'm not going to make labels for games that already have official US releases or homebrews, as I don't currently have any desire to buy them.

Again, remember I'm not claiming to be the bomb at making these things, I'm just doing it for my own benefit and sharing them in case somone might like to use them. If for some reason a repro maker uses any of these to sell carts, please leave some form of credit. Thanks!


Anyway, here are the labels for the games I have done so far. Click thumbnails for full size:


Chaos Seed




Clock Tower

- Credit to JJRepro for base label.




Der Langrisser




Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension




Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden




Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden 2




Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden 3




Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu

- Credit to Goku3 for background art.

,


Front Mission: Gun Hazard




Mega Man & Bass




Record of Lodoss War

- Credit to Chilant for inspiration on this label.




Secret of Mana II




Shin Megami Tensei




Shin Megami Tensei II




Star Fox 2




Star Ocean




Tales of Phantasia




Terranigma

Cool idea. If you could find a way to change the title font on Secret of Mana 2 away from the clashy green everyone seems to be using, you'd probably be doing a service to the community. It's just hard to read, as-is.

I'll look into it. Right now I'm just trying to figure out the best way to create a gallery in the top post. I'm having issues resizing the picture. I don't want the fullsize labels in the post.

Lots of SNES games use that green for the end label text, it's consistent.

Seems like half this forums functions don't work. I can't even change the size of font :\

Edit: Okeydoke. Everything I've got done so far is in the top post. Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

If anyone wants to request labels, please read the top post.

I think I'm gonna work on Star Fox 2 next.

Thanks, I wasn't using source to type in. I was using the forums automatic buttons and most of them weren't working for some reason.

I've cleaned up the top post. Everything should be good now.

Still a lot left to do, but I figured you guys could let me know if you like it or not.

That Lodoss War label is boss. I do like the Starfox 2. Better than a lot of the boring ones I see floating around.

Oh, I agree and like that green/teal text. I meant the title on the main part of the label It's kinda clashy.

Currently I'm not doing homebrews or unofficial games. I may in the future, once I've gotten all the official repros I'm interested in, but currently I'm not collecting homebrews.

As for Final Fantasy, I'll likely be doing them. I'll be sure to keep them uniform, like the rest of the labels.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Hopefully someone gets some use out of these besides just me.

I'll have Starfox 2 finished tonight. I might do Tales of Phantasia or start on the Final Fantasy games next.

*breathes out*

Finally finished Star Fox 2. I was working with a really grainy image of the Star Fox team, so I did my best to clean it up and anti-alias it against the Corneria background. Major headache. Hope you guys like it.

Nice work! Keep at it, and it gets easier. I've been using Photoshop for years, and I'm still learning stuff.

Appreciate the compliments.

I'm playing with some ideas for Final Fantasy III, IV and VI. They're going to be a little more ambitious, similar to the Record of Lodoss War label. Tales of Phantasia is probably going to be next.

Tales!

This one was kinda stupid simple and probably looks similar to all the others out there, but this one is more in line with my other labels, which is the point of this thread!

It is a recently released translation, much like Record of Lodoss War

I've been browsing for images. Any decent quality picture of cover art is pretty hard to come by.

Edit: I think I may be able to come up with something decent enough. We'll see.

So the image resources for this game are incredibly, incredibly limited. I did my best with what I could find.


Working on FInal Fantasy IV, V and VI next.
