I took a few liberties, though. I replaced all mentions of video cassettes to video recordings and all VHS logos to DVD logos. Otherwise I avoided all mentions to DVDs or discs so they would feel more old school. Since the cases still hold DVDs and not videos, you could think about that.
Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I dismissed it. Not only did I want to stay as close as possible to the original box and label designs, but I like seeing the reminders of things that were important when I was a kid, like the VHS and Hi-Fi Stereo logos. The DVD logo holds zero nostalgic value for me.
Actually, I didn't have a clue what "Hi-Fi Stereo" really meant when I was a kid, but I figured it must have been a good thing; despite the fact that I had neither a stereo TV nor a Hi-Fi Stereo VCR (not that I realized that I needed those things in order to benefit from a "Hi-Fi Stereo" VHS tape).
"Listen to that. Doesn't that 'Hi-Fi Stereo' tape sound good?"
Good old "placebo effect".
By the way, the FBI warning on the tape label does mention "video discs" (originally referring to CED and LD I assume); a term which is coincidentally still relevant here.
