You guys are free to edit or take it to start something new, as for colors, most know you can edit Â*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.

Those look great! Especially the 2nd one. Now get rid of that "homebrew" and IMO it's perfect.

Well i replaced the pic of the second one just now, just replaced the 'For Homebrew' for 'SUITABLE FOR ALL'. But since i still don't know what will be the official rating like, i guess it's still has to be see just like an exemple anyway.

Actually, last time I drew somthing in mspaint for concept art of the DC gba emulator by gpf. They actually liked it and used the idea.

Kool ;D

yeah it does look interesting and i do agree that the logo looks like it says DVS. Yo kujo you get new internet or somethin buddy?

[Mental2k]

Yeah it looks like DVS, also why the repitioin of what DIS stands for u have independant 3 times on the cover(assuming the triangle swirl is also symbolising i). I'd leave where it actually says "dreamcast independant software" and just have the triangle swirl underneath, then its perfection in a cover. Also could u post up a non gif image?

Personally, I like VampiricS' version of the triangle best. I don't care what color it is (actually, maybe we should have different colors for different things. Maybe orange for games, blue for apps, yellow for emus, etc. or something like that). But I really like the rough, 3D look of the triangle, and I think his idea of making it look like the power LED is kind of neat.

Keep up the great work guys. There are some really cool ideas coming out of this topic.

EDIT - What if we were to take VampiricS' idea a step further. I was thinking about a nice template, but I don't have the artistic talent to pull it off. It would be kind of like a top-down image of the Dreamcast itself. The power LED would be replaced by the logo VampiricS came up with. The game images would go where the circular DC cover is. The DIRB rating could go where the "open" button is, and something else could go where the "power" button is. It would be an original cover template, but it would still be obvious that it's software for the DC.
