Also went with the classic warner logos and VHS logo placement since this film is 1973, but kept the legal jumbo style current.

Anyone have the following covers:
Vengeance Trilogy, preferably using the art from the Tin?
Mummy/Mummy Returns?
Frailty?

Awesome on Von Ryan's coming next!!!

If they ever release "The Great Escape" 1963 and Stalag 17 (1953) on BD those would be a great for the set as well. What about the Bridge on the River Kwai?

Kellz · 03-10-2013, 03:00 AM

is anyone doing anything for Les Miserables? I think I remember seeing an amazing cover on this forum a while back

"Bridge on the River Kwai" is on my radar but since I own the Digibook its not a priority (I appreciate there probably is a non-Digibook edition out there).

Still plugging away at "Patton":

On "Von Ryan's Express" I noticed that my official case and Blu-ray.com diagree on the aspect ratio.
The official cover says it is 2:35.1 whereas Blu-ray.com (notes that as the original aspect) but states the Blu-ray is 2:37.1:

Finished my Vacation set. All specs are 100% accurate now (for the forthcoming 30th Anniversary Edition of Vacation). Hope people are satisfied with the end result. If you want them, please pm me, and also let me know which edition of Vacation you want.

Once I get the time, I'll make version with the National Lampoon's logo on them... But not for now.

IndyMLVC · 03-10-2013, 09:05 PM

Does anyone have a 2-pack artwork for the Pixar shorts? Would love to combine both of those into one set.

There is a typo on the blurb on the back of the Vacation movie. It reads "and everyman..." I am sure you meant "an everyman...." I do that all the time.

Why did you choose to leave the National Lampoon's off of the front of the first 3 covers? They are part of the title of the film

Madridista is a Scandinavian like myself, and over here the National Lampoon brand is virtually unknown. These films have never been associated with that brand in any of the advertising over here so we don't associate the Vacation films with it like you Americans do.

Or at least that's my take on it. I don't really speak for Madridista

Gotcha

The National Lampoon name doesn't mean much over here anymore but those 3 were some of the best NL movies made, along with Animal House

Thomas Guycott · 03-11-2013, 07:30 PM

Progress on my Enter the Dragon custom:

For the front: corrected a slight alignment problem and added the anniversary tag, which can stay or go since I'm not very attached to it.

On the back, flipped the tagline and images on the top to match those on the bottom. The font for the copy text is, for now, temporary until I find something that works for what I'm going for* (font recommendations appreciated). The text itself comes from a 1980s VHS release.

Along the bottom I plan on adding the standard row of symbols from the WB template.

*What I'm going for is a layout loosely emulating aesthetics from the early VHS era. My main concern is avoiding something which looks amateurish or hastily thrown together.

Anyway, feedback is of course welcomed.

What Nissen said. NL has never meant anything here, nobody really knows what it is. The Vacation movies (and the other NL movies) never were branded as NL. Vacation literally translates into "Dad's Awesome Vacation", European translates into "Dad's Horrible Vacationday" and so on.

BUT if you read my entire post earlier, I wrote that I'll make version with NL logo later on once I get the time
