Looking For Famicom Mother Box Art Scans

Can anyone link me to, or e-mail me high quality scans of the Famicom Mother box art? I'm planning on getting the original cart, then getting NES Productions to put the Earthbound Zero translated ROM on it. I have a few Sega Genesis boxes that fit Famicom carts PERFECTLY, and I wanted to create a collector's box label for my translated Mother Famicom cart. If anyone wants the label after I'm done putting it together, using scans of the back and side spine of the box, since the front is easy enough to find with a quick Google search, I'll put it up on my Photobooth page, and link it to this thread.

Here are some resources.  I found all of these just using Google Image Search - under settings, just check for large images.  Here's the link so that you can save it as a bookmark, just change the search term next time and you're there:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mother+famicom+scan&rlz=1C1BLWB_enGB585GB585&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=JJGZU4agBKvb7AbojIDQAg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=1056#q=mother+famicom+scan&tbm=isch&tbs=isz:l

Here's what I found, in order of relevance:

If none of those work, just keep digging using the link I provided.  If after some time you still can't find it,. it doesn't exist.  I couldn't find a back of box scan for Mother.

I think there's more than enough to work with there to make your own box.  If you need high res logos etc. you can use that same Google Image Search Large link I provided, just search for "Mother Nintendo Logo" or similar until you get what you need.

You're welcome for the links   :link:   :link:   :link:

First of all, those links didn't come through. I don't know if it's the forum, or my MacBook. Also, I tried searching for 'Mother Nintendo Logo', and I just got the front of the Mother, Mother 2, and Mother 1 +2 box. I'm not looking for the logo. I'm looking for the box art.

If you're not looking for the logo, why did you search for it?

I took the spoilers off the links, click away :)

Most of the English ones say Earthbound Zero, and that doesn't work if you want a Mother case. The best option was the high res Deviant Art NES box scan. If I cut off the top and bottom box flaps, I should be fine. I just need to figure out how big I need to make the case insert, so it fits in the Genesis case. Also need printer ink, and the cart itself. This was just future planning. Thanks for the options, though. I looked at my original post, and I never mentioned that I wanted the Mother logo. I have Dr. Mario Legend Of Zelda Famicom carts, and I'm trying to make collector's case linserts that fit in my Genesis cases. I'm also on the hunt for Genesis games with the original case, so that I can do this with the few Famicom games I have, even my bootleg multicarts. The art for THOSE case inserts will be a challenge!

Just take what you like from the Earthbound 2 scans and swap out the logo with the original Mother one.  Simples.
