      @obsidianspider Haha, if I would have spoken up sooner, I could have designed the sticker and splash screen so it would just look like a big sticker when booting up. :D Let me know what you might like for the cartridge splash screen and I can make it real fast.

        @Rookervik I'll defer to your talents. I don't really know what I'd want it to look like, but something "Super Famicommy"

        I was looking at all sorts of cartridge art over at retrogamesjapan.com for ideas.

          @obsidianspider Eh, you'd just want it to mix in with your sticker. And right now it looks like the one you're using will fit in with the blue sticker fine. Otherwise I have a large collection of game title screens you could put on a randomizer, or I could make some kind of blue one. Never been a fan of the cupcake. Could just do a レトロパイ with blue background to match the sticker. shrugs

            @Rookervik I went with the blue cupcake because the black looked too plain and I didn't want to say "hey, people that know how to design things, can you make something for me because I stink at it"

            I like the randomizer idea. I'm still trying to work out what I want that screen to display at given times and have been messing with scripts. One more thing to add to the project. :)

            Thanks for your help

                I kind of love that. Could you make one with a transparent background (png)?

                  @Rookervik I like the black one! The white outline around the letters really make it pop! I wonder if the white outline would look good on the blue background and the white (or black) RETROPIE test over the blue as well?

                    I didn't originally put "RetroPie" on the blue one since it already had retropie text on the left side. Kinda redundant. But here it is with suggestions.

                      I REALLY need to figure out how to photograph this better, but both rock my socks.

                      Also, how crazy is it that we're collaborating on this all over the planet? The Internet is awesome.

                        @obsidianspider Hahaha, it's pretty cool. Yeah that top image is pixel-perfect 320x240 on the splash screens. Glad you could crop them out.

                          Also, the photos look just fine. It's hard to get a good picture of what's on a little LCD screen. Let me know if you want variations or something else in it. Could put mario behind it or under it or, pfft, whatever. Yoshi. SFC logo0_1477671634714_Untitled-3.png

                            @Rookervik Thanks so much for that. I think just one with a transparent background should be good for now. I can see about tweaking a background if necessary once the label arrives.

                                @obsidianspider When you ask for a transparent background, what are you wanting transparent?

                                  @Rookervik Keeping the letters colored in, but the background transparent. If that makes sense.

                                        Now I am even more anxious for my label to arrive.

                                          My label arrived today, and I have to say, I think it turned out pretty nicely. I decided to go with the blue artwork and aside from my dodgy corners I really like it.
