Star Wars 1992 VHS styled DVD covers

Hello, I'm interested in making DVD covers for the original trilogy based off the 1992 VHS editions. Those were my favorite of the VHS' with the poster arts. I've seen a few based off the 1990 and 1995 VHS' but not much for the '92s. However, I do need some assistance. I need clean copies of the collages used on the back covers. I also need a good copy of the ANH artwork. I've found some clean copies of that artwork but I need one with more image on the far right so I'm able to properly center the image on the front cover. For example, the copies I keep finding have the corner of Vader's helmet cut off. I need one without it cutoff. Someone also mentioned in a previous thread of the 'smaller' Lando on the VHS/Laserdisc's of ROTJ. All the logofree versions of that artwork I can find have 'bigger' Lando. Anyone willing to help out here??? Below is an image I found that someone did of the ESB cover.

Are these the DVD cover arts you’re looking for EyeShotFirst? http://imgur.com/a/qF5Kc

Now if I could find a way to resize them for a Blu Ray case that would be amazing but I will take what I can get, because I love the look of those things so much.

I actually have similar covers, but sized for Blu Rays. I’ll post them once I get home.

Alright, here they are: http://imgur.com/gallery/aXt8C these ones are also from EyeShotFirst.

EyeShotFirst, is there a reason you forgot the image of Yoda on the back cover of ESB?? Also this was discussed in another thread but does anyone by any chance have a logofree version of the ROTJ artwork but with the ‘smaller’ Lando like on the VHS cover?? The only logofree version of that artwork that I can find has ‘larger’ Lando.

Anyone here who can help find that ‘smaller Lando’ print of the ROTJ artwork?? Also does anyone happen to have any large scans of the back covers of these UK covers?? They seem to be the best source for textless or close to textless copies of the '92 back cover collages. Thanks!!

Thanks. I’ll shoot him a message!

Nada. He didn’t have them.

Thanks for the post. I might tinker with those. I’m also considering making a simple DVD sleeve modeled after the box set artwork and have all three discs in the one case. I was also checking out ebay.co.uk incase they had any editions. So I got some work to do.

In the meantime, I created a DVD sleeve based off the outer box. Another option I figured I could do is getting a DVD case thats fits three discs and use this. The poster collage is a bit softer looking than I’d like it to be but its not too bad. I adjusted it best I could. It’ll likely look better in a cover. If anyone wants a full sized copy PM me.

I have a slightly updated version of my TRILOGY DVD sleeve. The posters collage is somewhat better, less fuzzy than the one I used. PM me if interested in a copy.

Install undercover 10 it allows you to resize

I made a 92 set a few years ago, but lost them after a hard drive failure. They were on photobucket, but were removed after photobucket turned into a shit site.

Maybe somebody still has them. I spent many sleepless nights replicating the collages on the backs.

I reckon these would look absolutely stunning made into a matte digipack hard cover style case that fitted into a similar matte custom boxset. I think I might make that my mission for my first self made custom boxset 😄

Thanks for reposting these, they’re great covers and I’ll happily put BDs into DVD covers to use them 😃

Tyler0013’s 1992-based boxset may also be worth a look / of interest mate - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Tyler0013s-Boxset/id/55421/page/1

Thanks though I think I’ve already got a copy of these, at least an earlier version. I’ve been searching this subforum for a while now to try and find my personal favourites for a DSE custom boxset. It’s so hard though as there are so many amazing options to pick from, I almost can’t choose!

This is a bit off topic but because this is my thread I’ll just ask. Anyone know what font the word TRILOGY in the logo on the '92 set is???

It’s Machine Bold.

I forgot to post back in here. I found the font a few days ago and yes it was Machine Bold.
