As far as I understand, there is no official 'vector' version of the US/EU logo, at least not during the time of the Saturn being contemporary. On the official template, it's sort of a vector + raster mashup. Where the text is vectored around (roughly), but the actual art itself is raster.FBX wrote:Finished that Sega Saturn label for the next color in the rainbow. Major...Pain...In the ASS. Turns out there are literally NO decent scans of the North American Saturn logo. They are all low print quality with lots of artifacts. Spent an hour combing through Google images before finally giving up. Had to rely on scan work with some pixel-editing. Unless there's some hidden gem somewhere, you won't see a North American original logo (not someone's interpretive artwork) this clean:
As for the text, both NA and UK have a retarded official design. Japanese text is like 1,000 times better. Had to use it.
Anyway, I'll stop spamming the thread with this work. Just wanted to show how the progression will look on the color backdrops. I'll hold off on posting another update until I have the full set finished.

Some of the shapes aren't the best, but then this was being done in the late 90s in illustrator or Quark.
You can tell, even with the globe, the cutting out wasn't so great:
Again, this is off of the official US template for Saturn games. Sega accepted packaging in digital since the Genesis era, luckily, so a lot more games exist like this. (SNES required film submission for packaging, even if you could design digital. PS1 required film for a long time, too.)
EDIT:
BTW, FBX, you lose about 10-15% brightness from a computer monitor to print. With how dark the bg is on your Saturn label, on a lot of printers it'll probably come out a bit muddled. I'm actually impressed you did this in 3D Studio Max of all things; usually we would take measurements of the scan and build a template in indesign.
