Hope quzar doesnt mind me 'borrowing' his DD2 Button from his Site to make the 'Cover'.
as can be seen my Graphic's skills arent very good..but you get the general idea...i hope :-/

I do get the idea. The one thing I see in there that I really think is a great idea is the DIS logo. I really liked the idea of using a DC swirl-type thing from the beginning, and I think turning it into a triangle is really a cool idea. I mean, the DC had the circle, the GP32 used the square, so what basic shape is left? A triangle of course. Nice work on that.

I don't mind, and I'm sure Impetus (who put together the button) and jj martinez ( who did the original graphics) dont mind either.

I like it to except the colors of the triangle.

colors isnt a problem they can easily be changed Â*;)
I went for green cos over here in the UK the swirl is blue and every where else its orange seein' as orange is only a stones throw away from yellow i mixed them..and we all know what blue and yellow make ;D

I thought this topic had died the death, nice to see someone contributing.

There's nothing wrong with your graphic skills, even the greatest artists started somewhere!, in fact, that's better than most covers the DC scene has produced purely because it's original.

The triangle idea is excellent, you've kept the line pattern produced as a swirl with the commercial logo and produced the same effect - that alone shows a creative talent.

I'm not sure about the green colour, but it is unique - maybe just try it with green lines alone?.

Ok since it seems my first exemple got lost somewhere, i re-edited one, prety much the same, anyway here it is:

I like it except for the overall color. Maybe something in the blue/green family. I dunno, copper just doesn't do it for me.

I like your cover, VampiricS, but I think it would look even cooler if you found some way to incorporate the triangle logo that kujo29 came up with (maybe change the color, though), instead of the DIS logo that's on there now.

I love the Green Triangle idea! :)

We can do the familiar layouts for Dreamcast games - I actually think it's a good idea to do so. It leaves the covers familiar enough to know what system they're for, but different enough to know it's not official software. ;)

All that leaves is legal mumbo jumbo about Dreamcast being copyright Sega, and the name is not used with permission on the back cover.

I'll work on some neat looking peripheral images that are familiar but different as well for the back. :)

As stated earlier, i did as an exemple,personally i don't like the triangle logo, mainly because it looks way too much like the logo of another company called Amazing Studios, they're doing stuff for PC. You guys are free to edit or take it to start something new, as for colors, most know you can edit the colors easily hehe. Might as well have a color based categories, i don't know, same template but different colors for each categories of stuff for dc as well. Just trying to give some ideas to have some talented people doing it.

About that triangle logo...maybe trying to turn it upside down, and orangemight make it look ok to me, like a mix of the power ON led of the DC and a swirl. And that way it will look less like the Amazing Studios logo i talked about.
