SNES UK Box Resto's...

Had a go at another last night. Quite difficult as I cannot find a good quality scan of the main artwork, so I just adjusted the levels and brushed out creases etc. I went to bed in the end, but wasn't happy with the main logo, so I spent a good 4 hours this evening recreating it from scratch. Quite pleased how it turned out over-all..

There is texture on the yellow backdrop on the new box, not really visible on here though. And at some point I added a small drop shadow to the box art but must have flattened the image before I realised because I can't remove it. Not too fussed though, still pleased with how it turned out! Labour of love this one!

Another added to the collection this evening. Quite a poor quality UK scan, so pleased with how it came out:

I recreated the logo in Illustrator too. I did create a second vector to use as a white drop shadow on the logo, as I was working on the logo from a US box originally-didn't realise there was no white drop shadow on the UK box until I'd finished. I added the drop shadow filter in PS, which doesn't make it as dark as the original as you can still see some of the white, but I don't think it looks too bad. And, you don't really see the box blown up full screen anyway, so I'm not too fussed. I dropped the really badly placed screen shot too, it's not uniform to the other UK boxes and looks so out of place-i think it looks better without it.

It's not 100% accurate-time will tell if I can live with the differences or not!

:: Edit::

Yeah, couldn't leave it. Done it with the black drop shadow-I think it works better:
