+davidcalgary29 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Sijmen Schouten, Mr. Atari himself, very kindly sent me a "MyIDE" 8-bit hard drive interface a few days ago. PROBLEM: The MyIDE kit does come with its own lovely label, but most of my cartridge collection is in the XEGS format...and I'm hoping that someone will be able to design a cartridge label for me that I'll be able to use for the MyIDE carts! A mock-up box would also be helpful, too! (Sijmen kindly gave his permission to use his product in a contest) I'm going to sacrifice one of my "Bug Hunt" carts to the good cause (square, ridged cart). THE PRIZE: A $25 credit at Atari2600.com -- and a surprise Lynx cartridge! DEADLINE: July 1st, 2003 at 5 p.m. MST Want to know more about MyIDE? http://home.wanadoo.nl/mr.atari/hardware-intro.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Here's one I made. It looks terrible, but I tried. I'm not very good with graphics. BTW - I have an uncompressed .bmp of it too, it looks a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feo Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Howdy, I am very interested on this, can you give me more details? Like what size?, is it just a label or also the logo to go with it?, do you have a preference on the look? (xegs look, silver atari look, ???)

Happy_Dude Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 indeed. We need some kind of reference. A lable template ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Best I can do for now (The label temp I used is from david's link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Howdy,I am very interested on this, can you give me more details? Like what size?, is it just a label or also the logo to go with it?, do you have a preference on the look? (xegs look, silver atari look, ???) You're free to set your own parameters. I am, as stated, going to sacrifice a copy of "Bug Hunt" to the good cause, so labels should be able to fit onto a standard square-case XE cart. Both IceCold and Happy Dude have the right idea...but feel free to be as creative as you like! One consideration: if you're going for a silver or brown label, a picture would look out-of-place (which is a reason that I do prefer the XEGS-type labels). Good luck!

+davidcalgary29 Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks for the entries! I like all of the submissions, and it's going to be difficult picking a winner. Stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 After serious consideration to both entries, I've had to make the difficult decision and award Happy_Dude the big prize. Congratulations, and thanks for providing me with a new colour label! PM me and I'll forward your Atari2600.com credit (and game) too you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
