I first posted about this topic here: reproduction / custom labels, but I thought it would be better severed in this area as its own topic.
I'm thinking of making reproduction labels for Activision 2600 games. It would only be for the common titles at this time. These labels would be more than just scans of the originals. These would be recreated from scratch. I will use actual screen shots of the games instead of the stylized game screen pictures used on the originals. This would be done so the new labels can be distinguished from the originals more easily. I think this is a good way to mark the new labels and still keep with the feel of the originals. Let me know what you guys think. If need be, (based on your comments) I can put a line of text in the small print of the cart that states it is a reproduction. Here's my first sample:

I've made labels and overlays for a couple classic game publishers and here are a couple links to topics of some of the work I've done:

Interest Check for Reproduction Cart Labels

I'm currently working on an Intellivision project which includes both cart labels and overlays:
