Back Labels!
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2016 3:03 pm
I had this idea for the back labels that incorporates the old maintenance telephone number one and the idea of the serial number.
Basically I made a high resolution scan of the old sticker (I actually got it off of my SNES) and cleaned it up in photoshop as best I could. I found something very close to the old GB font (the only difference is that there is no serif notch thing at the top of the number "1") and had simply lined it up. I had a friend who works with label machines create the label, die cut it, and laminate it.
I used a simple Dymo style label maker I bought years ago for the "serial" number, which is just my initials and the year. Turned out that the letters were just the right size for the inlay. Ill probably clean it up a little, or make a new one with a different color later. The label maker I used is actually branded MoTEX if anyone is interested in that.
Anyways, I hadn't seen this idea around here so I thought I would share! Perhaps I could share the .psd or something if anybody is interested in making their own.
