Saw this earlier - it’s from a SW Trilogy book boxset - thought it was cool and may be of use to someone on here…

Could any kind person please let me know which font is used for the ‘WIDESCREEN EDITION’ text just above the Star Wars logo on doublex776 / crissrudd4554 superb dvd cover below, please?
Edit - found out it is the ‘Bank Gothic’ font 😃
I’d just like to try knocking up a version of that that reads ‘DESPECIALIZED EDITION’ in the same font for a Faces-based usb boxset cover
many thanks 😃
Edit - just in case anyone is interested, some Faces-inspired USB Box Covers…

It does look better on a dvd case than on here (honest) - even when printed in ‘draft quality’ settings on some cheap semi-glossy photo paper…
As before, it should be quite easy to cannibalise or resize for other size covers etc - and for those of us stingy inksavers out there 😉

There are some more alternative Faces covers I made in here (and also polished up by the very talented LordStarkiller):-

^ The back cover art is from Video Collector’s excellent http://www.swonvideo.com/ website

^ the image has been somewhat squashed a little by photobucket - and the cover does need some further work… 😉
^ very much based on the Dark Jedi’s covers for the ‘Dark-Saga’ collection.
This is a template for a generic 1992 Special Widescreen Edition set - no mention of the Technidisc release - and a blank slot left open for anyone to put their own text in… (maybe for the Mitsubishi or original sets?)…

A Star Wars USB Box, Case, Tape, Wallet, Tin & Cover Thread…:-
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-USB-Box-and-Cover-Thread/id/53879
The artwork above (and any of my stuff) can also be found on a googledrive here:-
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByfjLkYDj7bRcFo4RHkzbmV6RU0?usp=sharing
Please feel free to view, download, use, edit any of it - and also vastly improve upon 😃
^ That’s a fantastic quality dvd boxset there mate, and a top idea for a dedicated Boxset Thread too 😃
Some of the work that has gone into the DeSpecialized boxset covers alone are amazing - ronwlim, one69chev, FrankT, phildesfr, detola, G E Predator, Starwhore, natedeug, EyeShotFirst, RoccondilRinon, tommyauck, Mjvmovieman, The Aluminum Falcon, coov, Stealthboy, Morsoth, crpl_hicks, Spheretronic, Harmy himself and anyone else who I’ve forgotten to mention (many apologies) - all quality endeavours.
My box set is not quite a dvd cover…
Thought I’d knock up (cannibalise off the superbly talented ronwlim and other folks on here) a very simple USB Box Cover for my Harmy DeSpecialised set…
^ The USB Box above cost £8.95 + delivery, from here:-
(click on the link above for more pictures - it is also available in white - and you can also get the USB Box for around £5 without the option for a photo cover).
The photo window size is 8.5cm by 8cm - I added an extra 0.5cm all around for the ‘artwork’ to fit in nicely.
It’s a decent quality box - with a magnetic seal, and sponge surrounding to house the all important USB drive.
There is also this similar USB Box for £4.60 (plus delivery), here:-
link - https://shop.photomart.co.uk/59168.html
I’ve also bought some of these bluray style USB Cases (5 cases for £8 delivered), here:-
link - http://www.leeds10.com/blu-ray-style-usb-case-clear-14mm-spine-with-insert-sleeve/
^ this case is the same size as many bluray cases (14mm spine) - is a good quality build - and the company delivers to many countries around the world 😃
See below for a couple of pictures of this USB Case being used with Rogue One & Harmy DeSpecialized Trilogy inksaver covers…
and I also found these smaller bluray/dvd style USB Cases - it measures in at 100 x 95 x 18mm (25 cases for £25 delivered), here:-
link - http://www.jetmedia.co.uk/flashdrives_cases.htm
For whatever reason there doesn’t seem to be a lot of USB Boxes or USB Cases available online, and the few that are have a minimum order of 100 or so from Chinese-based websites like alibaba.com & aliexpress.com, or US-based websites like shop.sunpack.com & premiumusb.com/ etc.
Some other USB Boxes are also quite expensive as they are often used by wedding photographers - and the magic word ‘wedding’ just seems to add £££s/$$$s to anything associated with one.
If you do come across any quality or cheap USB Boxes & USB Cases please post them up in here - thank you 😃
(when I say ‘made’ I mean found on google or other places, resized them, edited them and then added some text to them using MS Paint with a few Star Wars fonts 😉)
^ big thanks to Carbonite Solo for the The Last Jedi logo 😃
The artwork above (and below) can also be found on a googledrive here:-
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByfjLkYDj7bRcFo4RHkzbmV6RU0?usp=sharing
Please feel free to view, download, edit and vastly improve upon any of it 😃
I like this idea of a USB cover! Can you do one for the 1995 version of the trilogy? I always did prefer the “Faces” set.
Nice one - I’ll try my best (I’m not very good at this lark), and am a little busy right now, but will give it a shot in the next day or so…
.
The good thing with the usb covers is that you can put any image 8.5cm x 8cm in 😃
(^ or whatever size the usb picture sleeve is. The cheaper usb boxes without the photo sleeve would probably look decent with a sticker on too.)
Thanks for the kind words. Inksaver for the win; looks great.
Cheers mate - nice one - and thank you for that great Bonus Materials cover from your Harmy DeSpecialized boxset 😃
Found these dvd covers by Rikter from his old - and still great - dvd cover collection from around 2004?..

Yeah, I saw those, looking for something closer to normal SW covers.

It sounded like you didn’t know they had put out two albums after Demon Days.
I thought Plastic Beach was meh and I’ve not heard anything of The Fall.
Albarn has been saying he has written and has recorded new stuff for a new album for sometime last year - though hasn’t been released yet (who can blame him after a bad year all round?)
Am always hopeful for new stuff from them - especially if it turns out Simonon and Jones will be involved somewhere along the way (if they indeed are). Both were superb a few short years back on the Justice Tonight tour.
ANybody heard the “demo” version of *dont get lost in heven"? it;s the bside to… kids with guns? im drunk and dont recall right now. i love both versions, but the demo take the top for me.
this one mate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_6uNCri6xQ (very two-tone 😃)
.
Manic Street Preachers with Golden Platitudes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bJg96Lgk0g
Gorillaz - Don’t Get Lost In Heaven
Love the lyric to that - plus a top track overall.
(has it really been 12 years since it’s release? Surely time for another…)
?
sorry mate - I love Plastic Beach track with Mick Jones - and also Revolving Doors - but overall the two albums are not at the quality of the previous releases for me (though I could be a little picky, pissed and remissful - and each to their own onipion etc).
Though bring on the promised new album.
Gorillaz - Don’t Get Lost In Heaven
Love the lyric to that - plus a top track overall.

“Love Plus One” - Haircut 100
^ can’t help but hear the melody of Prefab Sprout’s King Of Rock 'N Roll when I hear this - both always good and bring on a smile
Some posters on here have done some superb quality sets for Harmy’s DeSpecialized Edition boxsets (and star wars boxsets in general) - ronwlim, one69chev, FrankT, phildesfr, detola, G E Predator, Starwhore, natedeug, EyeShotFirst, RoccondilRinon, tommyauck, Mjvmovieman, The Aluminum Falcon, coov, Stealthboy, Morsoth, crpl_hicks, Spheretronic, railerswim, video collector, and Harmy himself.
A few of them have their own topic threads in the dvd covers section of this site - or in the general covers thread here:-
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-DVD-Covers/id/741/page/176 (and work your way backwards)
and in here:-
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Despecialized-Editions-Custom-Bluray-Set/id/49995
It’s may also be worth a google image search for some of the names listed above to help find some of the boxsets that you like and may want to use (ie, ‘frankT cover’, or ‘frankT star wars’).
Good luck with it 😃
edit - I forgot to include the really good bluray cover thread as well - doh!:-
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Blu-Ray-and-other-HD-box-size-STAR-WARS-covers/id/11843
I had Rikter’s quality compilation of covers and disc art etc at 99.7% - it downloaded quite quickly too - but then nothing for a few weeks now… still on 99.7%…
…and Rikter’s Jedi Beat Machine tracks are all there 😃
Word to those Spookies!
Edit - Rikter’s superb disc collection (or rather 99.7% of it - 1.42gb) can be viewed and downloaded from a google drive, here:-
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByfjLkYDj7bReWlZcjdFOTVRbE0?usp=sharing
Willarob and Depheros have also uploaded the Rikter cover collection disc up on myspleen (with higher-resolution covers - at 3.67gb) - and with even more covers also added.
It is also available at the superb:-
http://thestarwarstrilogy.com/starwars/page/The-Star-Wars-Trilogy-Box-Set-Cover-Archive
^ It’s a great site, easy navigation and lots of thumbnails and artwork - well worth checking out for all the other content on there too.
Well in, lads 😃
I figured it out. The Simplicity is Elegant!
cheers mate - it’s quite fortunate as I can only do simple! 😃
I’ll let you know re the holographic cover 😉
FrankT’s white inksaver trilogy boxset is superb - I use a version of that for my own dvd boxset on the shelf.
Edit - crpl_hicks; could you re-post some links for your covers please mate? - I’m only seeing a pic of a cat where your quality covers were (links are down?)
Some of the work that has gone into the DeSpecialized boxset covers are amazing - ronwlim, one69chev, FrankT, phildesfr, detola, G E Predator, Starwhore, natedeug, EyeShotFirst, RoccondilRinon, tommyauck, Mjvmovieman, The Aluminum Falcon, coov, Morsoth, crpl_hicks, Spheretronic, Harmy himself and anyone else who I’ve forgotten to mention (many apologies) - all quality endeavours.
Aztec Camera - Good Morning Britain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4gc8BaBC3E - The rarer live piano version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_QSMTtUQYY - the more pop-rock and better known version (with Mick Jones of The Clash)
Starting off the year with an oldie from the mis-spent youthful years… (ableit the 2009 deluxe edition of the original 1986 album)
.
artwork - 7.5 (fantastic cardigan, something I could never pull off - or put on - myself)
album - 9 (vocals, lyrics, production, the bonuses/outtakes, remixed sound, content - all great stuff)
hopefully it’ll be appear on other, better, video websites soon…
(the other 11 minute DeSpecialized 2.5 Edition ‘Video Sources Documentary’ vid is still up on youtube)
Hi Omar, it depends on the thickness of the card you are going to use for your 3 dvd disc boxset, but the measurements of one of my sets is… height is 190mm, width is 144mm, and the depth is 48mm.
I’d have a practice go first - or buy a cheap 3 disc boxset from a local market, car boot sale or a cheap shop - and have a play around with that to get it just right for the type of boxset you want to build.
Good luck 😃
I know I’m ridiculously late to this post, and if anyone out there is still listening, does anyone have these that I could download or copy? The links don’t work now, and probably haven’t for a decade!
Hope these are the ones you are after…
(someone with the talents of fusionaddict may well have designed more dvd covers - though I seem to remember this was the set that was quite popular at the time - still very classy 12 years on too 😃)

Some dvd covers here that you may be able to customise a bit - think they are Rikter’s - and go back a fair bit…
and these are from Degeneration:-
Hope these help you out a bit - and good luck 😃
Edit - Handman is correct below - the Bonus Cover was missing (Congratulations Handman - you passed the test 😉).
Just in case you did want to use the spines from the above cover set, here is the Bonus Materials dvd cover to match…
