@ PieMonster:
I found one of these covers with the text on the right side printed in the other direction: The German version of Star Wars X-Wing Alliance.

@Kexikus Right side O.o? Can you make a photo?^^

@PieMonster, I newer saw a cover in "real life" like the SGC Template, all of the jewels I have got are flipped on the left side, maybe this is a america - europe thing or something, but only the right part is essential, the part that we actually can see when it is on the shelf or something..
And there is already a problem, some/many covers here already have a flipped text on the left side but not the logo, what to do with that?

Or (srs question) should we stay with the original to avoid "fragmentation"? But if one, then all.. I can flip all my covers back, that is the smallest problem..

Here is the template with a "flipped" logo and text. You can start using this if you like. It will take me a while to integrate it into the other .zip files. I will still continue to use the regular template for my covers, however.

And that's the problem, what I suspected..
Person A uses the original Template and follows the Rules,
Person B uses the original Template but flips only the left text and
Person C uses the new template, e.g. HunsonAbadeer is the first one ;D

So we have 3+ versions of Jewel back cover here.. Fragmentation.

I don't know if this is a good Idea, if everyone would be "Person A", then I also would make covers with the original template, no problem, since you see the right part anyway, but there are many many "Person B's" and without the flipped logo it looks shitty :I

@m4c1990 I'm confused? You and HunsonAbadeer are the 2 only proponents of this change. Now you're saying that it's a bad idea to make a new template (after I already created and uploaded it)? Are you suggesting that I take it down now? @HunsonAbadeer hasn't even responded yet so I don't know what either of you guys want.

I'm staying with the new Template ( flipped cover ) because that's the one I personally need for Jewel Cases to be happy with. You should announce the new cover properly so all people get the news and don't produce the "Person A" Covers like m4c1990 said.

You mean "Person B", Person A is ok..
And after long thinking I will make my covers with the new template too and maybe the people who made covers like "Person B" will use it as well :)
