As there´s no artwork for this wonderful game, my friend and i have decided to give it a go...

This is early Alpha - there´s some artwork for the CPO, but haven´t got time to set it up yet...

The "W" needs a little help and drop the dirt smudges on the "Islands." Other than that, I think it looks good. Nice job of tying it into the game.

It´s not dirt, it´s wood.... - and it´s inspired of this box:

So did you want opinions or were you just looking for a yes man? :) Despite the fact that it came right off the box, I still say the "W" looks a little funky and that the "yellow wood" looks like yellow that someone spilled soda on, let it dry then got dust stuck to it. Of course this is just one man's opinion and you can take it or leave it...
 
i agree, michael, if it is supposed to be wood, make it look like wood. does the original file also carry the same red / orange / yellow colors for ISLANDS or is this just a crappy printout?
 
Other box options to work from (from the later portable versions)

For the ports to home system they designed their own thing for the advertisement in the magazines, this was not always close to the arcade, looked like it but no sigar, Ocean was famous for this as i seen it in all the Zapp 64, C user and C+VG ads, ocean always did their own thing Euro style, while Rainbow islands is a Japanese game.
 
thx for the input!
I know it´s little more polished compared to the bubble bobble marquee, and to be honest i was a little affraid that it would look to nice, but when it was on the cab, it looked like it belonged there - though polished, and with some evolution attached...

No, the islands will def. be another color, they look like something burned on them... :)

If i just wanted a "yes man, that rocks" i wouldent even bother posting it here.. i really like peoples oppinion, i only said it was inspired of a box.... also, i think the rainbow letters is to fare from eachother....
 
You could also work off the lettering from the title screen:

I wouldnt "8-Bit" the shoe. Would be awesome sideart but seems a bit busy for a CPO.
