Atarisoft Box Front Cover Reproductions here

[tschak909]

Hello, Everyone!

 

I spent roughly two weeks completely reconstructing every single Atarisoft box front, as I needed them for my own purposes (I have a smart home system that contains media functionality), and thought they might be of use to everyone else!

 

I had to go through and carefully match the fonts against my font books (from when I did professional fontography and typography layout), and carefully match colors to Pantone against the real boxes that I could find of each type. I think I've done reasonably well, at least they are all consistent.

 

There were many Atarisoft titles which did not have official releases, so I had to make new box art for them, and using the same pattern as the existing ones, I took the illustrations from Atari's existing catalogue, in all cases.

 

I hope you guys like these, They are here:

And I'll post a few samples in this thread:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy, Let me know what you think!

Thank you. I do notice two mistakes that I should correct when I get a chance:

 

* Atarisoft at the bottom, the left lower facet of the A is truncated on accident (probably due to GIMP's window clipping the text slightly), and I should kern the text a bit more.

* The page curl needs a bit more work (shadow needs to extend slightly, the underlying color is visible on the flat edge, ever so slightly.

 

I'll try to make those changes, when I can (I did these over 9 months ago)

Digging up this really old thread:

 

Does anyone know the font used for the game titles?

Looks not the same as the 'ATARISOFT' or the system types.

 

And what font is the 'FROM'?
