Thanks everyone! Ubervamp it is! :D :D :D

Here's a look at what I'm doing with the spines. I already notice some things I'd like to change just by seeing them all lined up next to each other. The spine numbers are too big and too faint. I can decrease the leading between the "The Complete" and "... Season" line. Any other suggestions on these?

I'm working on the spines in a separate file, so that I can easily make thicker spine covers if necessary. Here's the thickest spine design that I'm working on, should fit a 6-disc amaray case with a 591px spine. Here's what Season 1 in the "thick spine" version will look like...

Thoughts please??? :D :D :D

Liking the fat spine, Andrew :)

IMO the font used for spine numbers on the thin'uns should be similar to the font used for 'The Vampire' Slayer'; I think that would look better. :)

Problem is... I have no idea what font that would be, the TT came from a vector shape. Any suggestions of similar fonts, please? :shrug:

I'll run this through WhattheFont.com myself, but here's a B/W of the "vampire slayer" text...

Nevermind... the font is Kruella (one of the few times that WhatTheFont got an exact match on the first try!).

Anybody have this font? I'll check my massive font library, but I'm not sure if I have it... :D

EDIT: Nevermind again... I have the font... :D :D :D

Okay, so now I'm going back to Season 1 to figure out what to do on the back. I have some ideas, but I'm open to suggestions before I start anything?

Here's Season 1 with the spine and legals...

I really like the spines it gives an old book feeling kinda like Giles library ,lol

as for the back i guess maybe if you could put vampires or other odd bad guys from each season that might turn out good, just brainstorming.
