Mine too. I wouldn't complain though if a slime design was used instead of the black.

I like that design. Wouldnt mind the title on the front though.

I DON'T WANT GLOW IN THE DARK PAINT !!!!!

It is a horrible colour... like spunk mixed with a touch of piss!!!

On top of that, it also loses it's ability to hold light, and discolours even worse over time.

DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER....

Isn't that mixture called a Richard Santorum?

Had a reply from play.com regarding the ghostbusters cover that we all discussed here.

Hi Rich,

Thank you all very much for your input, this is great.

I have forwarded it to our DVD team and they will take a look for you and see if they can do anything to suggest this.

Kindest regards,

Jo

We can only hope.

Will, at least they seemed to respond in a positive light rather than flat out shut you down. Thing is, they own the character images etc so even though it's a fan made mock up, that shouldn't legally be an issue in them using such a design

I think it's cool that you sent it on to them - the question is, do Play.com actually have any influence here? They sell the steelbook, but it's the studio who will make it. Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but I would have thought this kind of thing would already be finalised.

Here's hoping...

No, they can certainly give input. After all, they are selling it and artwork on steelbooks can have a big influence on whether or not you purchase it sometimes, so i think they definitely can pass it along to get considered.

Only can hope though, it is as good

In order:

#1. The retailers do all of the work to design the artwork for the case. Probably through outsourcing to graphics design companies as opposed to in-house employees.
#2. The retailers submit the design to the distribution studio for approval.
#3. The studios either sign off on all aspects of the final design or reject it. Or they just reject it because they don't want a steelbook case released for whatever reason.
#4. If the design is approved by the studio, the retailer submits the order to Scanavo for the cases.
#5. Scanavo gives a projected date for completion.
#6. If the retailer is satisfied with said date, the retailer orders the appropriate discs from the studio and has them shipped to Scanavo.
#7. Scanavo creates the cases, loads the discs, seals the packages, and ships the final product out to the retailer.

In almost all cases (pun intended), the studio has nothing to do with the steelbook process aside from approving or denying artwork and/or permission for the case to be made period. The retailer pays for everything. Of course, there are a few exceptions, which is probably why Best Buy US gets an empty steelbook case once in a while. Best Buy just doesn't want to fork out extra for the manufacturing of the cases.

^ #2a. Wreck makes sure it isn't an Iron Man SteelBook like the FS release.

My idea of a nice cover

[MCT]

now THAT is sick

[NARMAK]

I thought the full black was good but a little something was missing, now i know what. Ricster, care to post another updated suggestion . Same glow in the dark idea mind you

YUP. That is much better. However, my only criticism is that the inner corners of the red border should be rounded to match the outer edge shape of the steelbook. As is, it just looks a tad bit "off" with the sharp 90 degrees angles on the inside edges with the rounded outer edges of the case.

Can you try one without the title on the front as well? Just to make a side-by-side comparison? I'm curious. I like it better without the title on the front in my mind. But, seeing them both in front of us next to each other would help clarify our desires.

This is what I managed on Paint (obviously with full credit to SnollyGoster747's awesome 'proper' version). I'd only mess up the rounded corners so I didn't try those.
