Printable DVD cover for Carrara 8.5 ???

3drendero

So I decided to dust off the DVD burner and burn some backups of important apps and put them in good looking DVD cases.
(Why? Too many news about ransomware, leaked passwords on major sites and even eon vue site being hacked and offline) 

Problem: There is no good looking DVD cover for Carrara 8.5, only the low res screens at the store and email promos.

So, anyone up for the challenge to make the best looking Carrara 8.5 DVD cover?
Attaching some images to start with, the current Carrara 8.5 low res screen caps.

The first free template I found (free use for commercial purposes): https://templates.openoffice.org/en/template/dvd-case-insert
Text on the backside, should probably be some of the new features of Carrara 8.5: https://www.daz3d.com/carrara-8-5-pro

Found some of the older Carrara covers, from 1 to 7.
Which is your favorite?

7 Pro looks up to date, modern.

you could always try to recreate the scene in the render yourself 

some guesses

not sure if horse 2 or millennium horse

Yeah that is one option. Although it may be more modern to also add a cowboy. Difficult to fit 2 characters into the C7 layout though...

Great job, Wendy.  Looks pretty close.  You can also fake roots by creating another tree, remove any leaves,and turn it upside down.

yeah but that was not a Carrara tree

in fact not too much in that splash screen was Carrara content by looks, maybe the fireflies 

I changed it a bit

Found the missing Carrara 8.1 cover. Guess I need 2 DVD covers now, thank Wendy. One for 8.1 with the V4 bundles and one for 8.5 with the V5 bundles.

WendyLuvsCatz

Thanks Wendy.

Have not had the time to create new DVD covers, but in the mean time, I found an old Carrara 4 Pro brochure from the old Eovia web site at web.archive.org. See below.
