I always thought that,Space Invaders should have had a better lable.Never did like it. Could you make me one with a better label? Thanks.

 

Atariboy2600 had made this label (where has he been?) and I held on to it.

Hope this helps!

BTW, how do all of you make these labels?

Sorry, it's Top Secret. It takes years of training. Thousands of dollars worth of education and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of 'State of the Art' equipment. Plus a whole lot of magic.

 

Photoshop or your favorite image editor.

Your welcome. It's really not that hard. One thing you need is the right fonts. They are here somewhere on Atariage. You then just need a good high-res picture. Many old video game magazines have ads that have the same illustrations they would have used on the labels. Also the arcade flyer graphics can sometimes be used. http://www.arcadeflyers.com/

 

Just use a pre-existing label from this thread and cut and paste a new graphic into it and then change the title and other text with the same font. They come out looking like Atari made them. Then get die-cut labels from 8bitclassics and print them out. They are a buck a sheet for four labels plus four end labels for 2600/7800 games.

Here's a new label for 5200 Stargate.

 

Enjoy,

Allan

Very nice label!!! Would you have a similar label for 5200 Battlezone?

Thanks,

 

Here's the Battlezone label.

 

Allan

Thank you so much!!! These labels look very professional!!!

 

So now I can submit these labels and the binaries to the AtariAge Store and they will custom make the carts for me?

 

One thing I just noticed is the size of the files for the two labels, as the Stargate one is 633k while the Battlezone one is 194k. They have the same resolution so I am not sure why there is a difference in file size. Will that be an issue when the carts are being made?
