I wonder why you didn't take the easier route using the same font as on the posters and your front covers? (same font as on the spine of the actual Paramount's Blu Ray of the "Crystal Skull")

Apart from those 2 things it's awesome

because I decided to stay true to the movies themselves. Neither "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" use the posters font.

See the title shot from "Raiders":



When the specs are announced I will shorten the blurb and put them below the blurb

[Torrente]

Yes I know that, I read the posts here but I decided to stay silent until some hours ago

Then I think it would be alot better if you'd keep "Indiana Jones" in the font that we all know. It is like a trademark. This is how "Indiana Jones" is written everywhere, always.
And then you could keep your idea for the rest of the title.
"Raiders of the lost ark" in the font you're using actually, etc

It's just that the spine looks ugly to me (font I dislike, too tiny titles, and too high on the spine) but it's probably only my tastes and you're free to do what you want of course!
I don't want you to think I criticize just for the sake of it or that I dislike your great job!

[akapainkiller]

Just for you I'll make versions with the trademark logo on the spine

I love the back and spine! Not sure how I feel about the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo/Social Network cover. I think it would look better without the black bar over the eyes and the large tagline.

You just turned a Michael Mann movie into a David Fincher flick

Just a nit: the film is MPAA rated PG-13.

Ref: High Road to China release on April 17:

I see the blu-ray will be using the same poster that I made a custom cover for. I made the cover never dreaming it woujld actually be released on Blu-ray (since it never actually got a US DVD release) so this is fantastic news.

Not sure why you "altered" the "and the Temple of Doom" part... it doesn't match Raiders and is too big, not to mention the slant of the italics doesn't match.

Man it has been forever since I've visited this thread Just been so busy with work that I completely forgot about how much I enjoy lookin at everyone's work in here.

Hey DrrnHarr, do you share your custom's? I really dig the Indy covers you're making and will probably need some covers if they don't release them individually! Also, are you going to make a Crystal Skull cover to match or are you one that pretends that movie doesn't exist :P anyway, awesome job man I really enjoy these!

I plan on doing a matching "Crystal Skull" cover, but forgive me if I am not entirely enthused by the task.

I will share the custom covers but not until they are completed which will be after the specs are announced.

Yes exactly!?

It's why I thought about you when I read the announcement. Because it's in your wishlist and that it finally gets a release!
You will be able to use your custom!
And us too!!!

By the way, you already know my vote for your Indy covers
