Those are nice but the ones I'm making are replicas using the actual font on the MVS label which is why I need scans for the ones missing.
Thanks for the updates!

Wanted to thank XX for the great labels, I used my own template with your exact replica fonts, I'm not sure if you're using the template I gave to southtown which was based on the old one but with sharper fonts for the logos.
You're the best man!

AAAW Shit! I can't wait! I always wanted to play Iron Clad on the MVS. Same thing with Last Hope and all the lost protos.

MVS labels typically don't use the font from the game. So a game that does (Pop'n Bounce) sticks out. Pop'n Bounce is OK because I know it's an oddball and it's supposed to be like that.
What is the purpose of these labels? AES and shockbox collectors have such wonderful and real looking art, why do MVS labels have to be any different?

Like Ghostlop, that's only 1 label design. I planned on making one with a very simple font which is similar to the font on Sam Sho 4.
As I said before these are replacements only which is why I don't want them looking exact. I don't want anyone to be fooled. For the legit game releases I used the font from the actual real MVS label, for the protos you have nothing to go by.

Alec what exactly are you whinging about now? First you complain that Xian Xi's labels aren't exact so can't be used to rip people off, you whinge because some of the labels he's come up with aren't plain enough for you, then in the same post whinge that they're not exciting enough?
If you don't like Xian Xi's labels, stop polluting up this thread with your retarded comments and go make your own.

Another complaint about that label: It has both names of the game on one label. The game is not called "Ironclad Brikinger." It's one or the other. Also, you need the ' in Brikin'ger. I think an English one that says Ironclad and a Japanese one that says ブリキンガー would do the trick.
If you make one with a simple font, I might use that. I appreciate what you're doing, at any rate. Xian Xi, your site is amazing and you help everyone here, and I love you, man. The labels are a silly thing to disagree about.

Another post came while I was posting.
I didn't say I wanted them to be exciting, I said I want them to look real -- as in "correct."
This is valid criticism between two adults (and now plus one immature ass). You're polluting this thread.
You all seem so worried about scammers. Personally, I don't ever think about them. Your post makes it sound like I want people to get ripped off. I just want to restore my legit carts to their full glory. Scammers are going to scam either way. Xian Xi's labels are good, but certainly will always be distinguishable from the real thing.

Xian Xi's are the best so far, but I'm still disappointed. I'm terrible with graphics, so I'm still waiting for someone to make the ones I'm waiting for.

As has already been explained, if someone made a whole set of "real" labels, every low life in the world would be slapping them on their boots and putting them up on eBay. Yes scammers are going to scam either way, but personally I'd like to keep it relatively easy to avoid them and the stuff they sell, not worry about every MVS cart I buy and need to see board pics to be certain I'm not buying a worthless piece of junk that has been through the hands of a scammer. I think I'm one immature ass that the majority of posters here will agree with.
If you want "real" labels, why not buy mvs carts with real labels on? Replacement labels are designed to be exactly that, replacements. My words may have been a bit harsh before, but you've posted several times in this thread with the same general complaint and don't appear to have taken on board Xian Xi's response. Imo thats asking for a flaming.

One last point, and I'll get off of it: The bootleggers already have great labels. The label on my KOF 2002 boot was great. If they weren't great, people would never have to open their carts after an auction only to get a surprise. Bootlegs are out there with great labels, and our games are legit, but with fake-looking labels. We're the ones who have the real games. We should have something at least as good as what they're using.
OK, fair enough. I was trying to convince Xian Xi to change his stance because he's the best, but I will lay off that. Sorry for calling you an ass.

Thanks to both of you. I see both your points. I can make some labels for you if you want but just ask for them in a PM or something.
As for the Ironclad, that was just thrown together for someone that saw the ebay auction and wanted a label with the game font with the same title as the ebay one (even if wrong). I made 2 other versions with just Ironclad and one in Japanese but I'm trying to find a more "MVS" style even Ghostlop I'm not happy with the font, I think something like Windjammers would be nice for Ghostlop.

Cool guys who make cool stuff do cool things for people
I've no problem with MVS collectors replacing their labels with 100% accurate copies, I've done that with some of my own stuff when they've had a poor replacement. It's just the idea of a universally available library of very-hard-to-distinguish-from-the-real-deal labels for the likes of yaton to abuse which I'm against.
