And it might be the official title treatment, but as someone who knows Greek, I find the use of the Sigma (=S) for the letter "E" really stupidly distracting. It looks like it says "Sscape to Athsna".

I tend to agree on the criticism of the TT. I don't know Greek but I think the stylized TT is a little hokey-looking. I was looking around for an alternate of sufficient quality that I could use, that is unless someone knows a Greek font that I might use.

Found this online in a sufficient resolution for taking the TT:

DrrnHarr,

Have you considered doing one of your "WWII Collection" covers for Saving Private Ryan? Personally, as one who is a fan of the covers in this collection, I'd like to see that.

Is that supposed to be Roger Moore in front? Looks more like Albert Finney!

At the moment its not on the horizon. Earlier in this thread there was a discussion on setting a window for the series and it was generally agreed that the series should not extend past the 1980s.

Part of the rationale is that in 1989/1990 the studios switched from painted poster art to photo based poster art.

Thanks Imrahil....I mush prefer using a font based TT if possible. So many TTs though are not font based

DrrnHar: you may want to consider adding ESCAPE FROM ATHENA to either your post title or somewhere in the message, so when users do a search your post will pop up.

Also, is that the largest size of that image available, or is there a link to a larger image one could use for a custom cover?

Actually, it comes from this image.

Would anyone help me out? I'm currently looking for covers (either scans or custom) for Twister, Poseidon, and The Perfect Storm. I was hoping to have them by Monday so I can print them out at a local shop. Thanks ahead of time.

Finished The Perfect Storm. If you want it, please pm me your email address. Next up: Training Day and Twister.

That looks awesome! I sent you a PM.

Was working on this earlier. Not the biggest fan of the movie, but I kinda liked the direction this was taking. Wanted to try something different than the usual artwork for the movie and wanted to see what a black & white design would do for the artwork.

What do you guys think?

Looking for scans or customs for

Cyborg
Death Warrant
Double Impact
Missing In Action
Missing In Action 2
The Delta Force

I was planning on updating the custom I did for Pyun's Director's Cut from a few years back, to match the official release by MGM/Fox. But the design, it's a bit out there, so not sure you'd want it. If you do, let me know and I can make it a priority.


I also did a Scooby Doo (first film only) for a member of this board, so if you want I can ask him if he wants to share it.

Good effort Br4dders, but I'm not sure you need to put the blu-ray logo on the front cover. On the second cover especially it is distracting.

Thanks for the feed back, I'll correct that. Hopefully I'll get better the more i do.

Nice. I think the front for the second one is pretty cool. You could probably up the contrast a bit on the image inside the lettering, but otherwise keep the cool red/black pallette.
