+pboland Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have been thinking about this type of thread for a long time. I have a total of 39 labels right now. These are not the largest versions I have. I made these a little smaller so I don't take up too much space on the AtariAge server. At this size they are still good to make reproductions from. Some of these labels are of non-released games, but they are the way I thought Coleco would have made them. This is because I got most of the title graphic from Coleco Ad sheet that I use to own. Credit text was also taken from these Coleco Ad sheets. They are not perfect reproductions. This is done on purpose, however the differences may not be noticeable unless compared to an original. If you have some label that I don't have please feel free to post them. I will post them ten at a time because my browser seems to crash on me after about 10. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would like to print some of these and put them on my carts ( replace badly worn labels ) Is there a glossy sticker sheet paper that can be used in a color inkjet, that will produced excellent results?

Trooper Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Really nice! Any chance of you compressing them all in a zip or rar to make it easier to download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph74 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Agreed, top notch stuff! Now if I can only come up with the game to match the Destruction Derby label! I loved that arcade game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Here's Gorf (Pbolan) If you can re-work the fonts, I think it'll look greater I will make those for sure: - Pepper II - Mouse Trap - Ken Huston's Blackjack/Poker - Tarzan - Tunnels & Trolls - Cosmic Avenger - Carnival 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would like to print some of these and put them on my carts ( replace badly worn labels ) Is there a glossy sticker sheet paper that can be used in a color inkjet, that will produced excellent results? Don't use glossy sticker sheet paper. Use a high quality inkjet sheet label and cover the label with super clear packing tape. It will look more original than the glossy sticker sheet paper (plus it will not smudge). You will need to push the tape into the label. To do this use a piece of plastic (like from a sheet protector) and lay the plastic over the uncut label with packing tape on it. With the butt of some scissors rub the tape into the surface of the label. If you don't use plastic over the tape when rubbing, you will get scratch marks in the label. After you are done with that, then cut the label out. Presto, factory looking label. Take a look (the cart on the left is a repro the one right is original): As you can see, your quality of ink in your printer makes a difference. I used cheap ink. That's why the blue is too blue.

I wouldn't re-work anything. BTW, thanks for making the labels listed. Less work for me. (IIRC, you already have the art work for Tunnels & Trolls from the ad sheets correct?)

Your font was fine, but you had "Printed in the USA" twice on the cart and the "™" was missing from the end label Gorf graphic. Other than that it looked fine.

+pboland Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 How about a Parker Bros. Label. It's only one but maybe you guys can start adding to the label count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
