        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.

                                @Rookervik Thanks!

                                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.

                                      Your builds has given me the push to attempt something like this myself. Your work is amazing.

                                      Thinking of possibly using a psone for my 1st attempt!

                                        Thanks. That's quite the compliment. It's been a lot of trial and error.

                                        Go for it! That would be a really cool build. Be sure to let us know how it goes, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck.

                                            Fantastic. Some tips: as you take it apart, take a LOT of photos, because you won't always remember how things were connected.

                                            Use plastic bags or containers to store the screws and hardware.

                                            Do a lot of measuring and test fitting BEFORE you cut.

                                            Test, test again, and retest as you go along.

                                            I can't wait to see what you come up with. 🙂
