I was playing with Photoshop a bit and came up with what I thought was some decent label art for my homebrew game.

I attached a low-res pic of it for those interested.  The actual graphic is 1200x675.

What do you think?

UPDATE:  Here's a newer-looking one:

That would be the plan...  I wouldn't draw up label art for no reason.

Looks very good to me.

I attached my "homebrew series" icon if you decide you want to make use of it.  (It was meant for blackbox style labels)

I think the text on the top of the cart is a big large, but other than that it looks great.

I've been getting alot of that! haha I thought it was humorous when I took it from a still on a video I made and thought, man, I really do need a new avatar hehe

About that top text looking big, I think you my be right mewithoutyou. Oh, and that homebrew series icon is a great idea : )

I used the same template as I did with my rom hack's label, and it's still within the dimensions of what the top label should be.

I've seen varied results on what precisely the label size should be and how much of it is taken by the top...  If anyone has some definitive numbers, that'd be great.  The resolution I am using for the master graphic is 675x1200

One edit I'm thinking of doing is having a sentence under the logo stating:  "Based on the logic game of Nim".

I wasn't saying the label dimensions themselves were too big. I was just saying the text itself on the top of the label is too big, in my opinion.
