Jurassic Shark 12,882 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 "EPISODE" is way to large. They should use a smaller font size to make it completely unnoticeable. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,159 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 In the case of Empire, 'Episode' should be as dark as the lines to stand out from the literal snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,696 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Those covers are definitely awesome! But the EPISODE font is way too large. Disney are clearly trying to ditch the whole EPISODE branding, rightfully so. The focus should be on the Star Wars logo and film title. Still, would love to see similar covers for the PT and ST. A red themed TLJ cover depicting Crait's minerals, with Luke and Kylo as the focus, would be epic. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 10,080 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Here's the full set, I just cropped the relevant ones in the previous post. I'd absolutely give all endorsement and thanks I could to the artist, but I found these years ago (maybe on the shrine, but not sure), so I've no idea. I feel the OT ones are much stronger, in colour, scene and compositional choices. They're all nice to look at but probably won't be the ones I'd actually print to put in the jewel case of these. They fit better into Poweramp to represent my (temporary until a proper release) edits. Oswin Pond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Holko 10,080 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2018 There's two ways to fix that... The second one keeps the placement consistent, the first one harkens back to the original cover and is more visualy pleasing.

Jurassic Shark 12,882 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The first one wins, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,696 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Those are brilliant @Holko! You nailed the blue for ESB, same as the original logo seen here in the trailer: Would love to see a slightly more burnt orange for ROTS and a darker foresty-green for ROTJ, but these are awesome! Maybe even a darker/deeper royal purple for AOTC like this? And yep, what @Jurassic Shark said, that white Star Wars cover (without ANH or the gap) wins hands down. Elegant, simple, clean, classic. Plus the white text is in line with the original OST cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,882 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Although @Chewy's suggested covers look good, I'd prefer the original cover art for all films. There's no need for the covers to be consistent across the whole series. As a general rule: Original cover art = the best (unless it sucks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,882 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Well, those suck! But those are the "collector" covers, aren't they? Here's the proper cover, which IMO doesn't suck: Pieter Boelen and Josh500 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj_vader 560 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I know these aren't great but I think they work better than the actual ones.
