                  Each one gets better and better. Nice job. Did you add that comic dot matrix to kirby too?

                    Probably my last for the day. I really wanted to get this one done though.

                    I took some liberties with this logo so it would not only match the comic book theme but stay true to the heart of what makes these logos iconic. I made a few different ones because I couldn't decide what color would be best.

                      Yes I messed with the color channels on the PSD red layer to get the dark pink that I wanted. I do realize I forgot to shadow the logo so here is the updated logo.

                      Edit: Oh you meant the Kirby i used for the break out art. No that one came with it. Thought it matched up nicely with the style so I used it.

                        Okay I did one more because I was on a roll. Gotta make em all!

                        I used the ACTUAL logo for this one and it turned out pretty nice! I also had a little fun with the breakout image.

                          @holy2tack very nice!

                          Will you make a pull request so that @TMNTturtlguy can integrate it into the main theme? :)

                            @cosmo0 Sure. I have a few more I want to do first. Harvest Moon, Tales of, Breath of Fire, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and I'm sure I'll think of more. I also want to do a jRPG genre one as well. I'll wait till I wrap those up. Should be next week. My cousin gets married this weekend so I"m out of town.

                                I use Launchbox/Big Box for my main PC set up. I wonder how easy it would be to port this over and incorporate videos. Anyone here have experience making themes for BigBox? If not looks like I'll be teaching myself something else.

                                  I made some alternate system logos and launching screens for the SNES (US) and SNES Hacks to match more the gray/purple color scheme of the physical console. Also made one for the MSU-1 hacks.

                                      One more than I have to pack for my trip.

                                      I took an actual picture of this one because it looked so good. I didn't go with any in game screenshots of this because Breath of Fire artwork is just so beautiful

                                      I had a little fun with the shadows on this one to try to get the color depth feel that all the BoF logos have.

                                      One major thing I realized after this one is I didn't actually apply the texture to any of the "comic.png"s. If anyone wants to help me figure that out, i'd appreciate it. I'm going to spend a little time trying to figure it out before I pack for my trip, if not I'll get to it Sunday night.

                                      Edit: It seems to be a faded layer of some sort, but I'm not sure how to do it. So if anyone has some tips, that would be awesome.

                                        Okay. What I did is I copied all the images and made a new layer as a copy. Then I added a pixelate filter of 4 pixels. Then I right clicked the new layer and chose blending options. Normal blending 30%. Then the next one was advanced blending and I chose 70%. I think it came out pretty good. Nothing but good old poking around with some trial and error.
