Sonic Xtreme cover contest

Hehe! (^_^)

I saw that picture the other day, I wonder who did that design. (^_^)

 

madhatter: ROFL
Naonak: your cover is AWESOME ! Clean, simple but beautiful and moreover mixes the nostalgia of sonic 1 and the modernity of recent sonic games with the typo you choose for the title.
It's just perfect !

 

Wonderful work NaOnak.
It is even better than most of the SGA covers.

 

Is it wise to use an Assembler logo at all? I mean once this gets to general release surely an assembler logo will lead to more traffic here...and numerous new members wondering where the hell the section that deals with releasing protos is. After all they won't see this section or know of it etc and I can forsee a lot of random posts......

Back on topic, wonderful designs guys, you should give yourselves a big pat on the back. I still personally think Barcode's 1st two offerings are the best by a country mile (especially as I have taste and abhor those gastly long boxes :yatta: ). Not feeling the love for Na0naK's sadly, although I appreciate it is a quality design.

 

On that note btw, I haven't added in Assembler anywhere because the image hosting sites are public access in most instances, so if someone decided to click on one of my plethora of other images, they wandered around and had a look at my stuff they'd see "Assembler" and the software title which is currently meant to be kept quiet. Other members of this site have access to other members photobucket accounts you know. I've got hundreds of them...

I guess it doesn't mean anything, having a competition however eh?! We could have decided to create covers for any old games title, but then again anyone looking for the thread in search is going to draw a blank. Hope nobody bloody asks as I'll just have to say "It's an ancient project".

 

Here is an improved version of mine:

beautiful

 

Chris Seen made it, it was his pitch for the box art design. It towards the bottom on that page. I don't have any 3d modeling experience so I'm just tracing his drawing basically.

 

That's excellent, I need to learn Photoshop a bit more, I love the background, how did you the logo???

Sabre

 

THat's the one for me :thumbsup:

Yakumo

 

I think yours still looks really good though. (^_^)

 

When does this contest ends?

 

What, tired already? Sonic cover fatigue? I'd like to see a few more, it's getting even better as time goes on. But hey, that's only my opinion.

 

Parris: Oh, no no no . I asked that because I also would love to give it a try, and maybe it takes a little until I've free time to do one. I was affraid that a winner had already been chosen (although there isn't any named as "winner" yet) and that Furture efforts were done for nothing .

I've lost much of my skill drawing and designing but I hope I get something decent (at least enough to not cause laughs ).

 

Very nice Naonak!

 

I tried my best to do something decent. A long time not using photoshop, so i forget some stuff.

Anyway, here are my two contenders:

I tried to add something on the background on this one, but nothing seemed to fit right.


This one is basicly a wallpaper i found. I thought it was cool.



Hope you guys like. Thanks grap3fruitman for the SonicXtreme logo and NaOnaK for the japanese cover "template" (The Sega Saturn bar is in great quality).

 

That´s an awesome idea! I´ll try to draw something by hand, it´ll prolly be done tomorrow.

 

I don't know if I should use the old 'K-A' ESRB rating, or the new 'Everyone' rating on the NTSC-U/C box.

I also had an older boxart version with a Photoshop Lens Flare effect HERE, but removed it from the ones below.

The logo I'm using can be found here:
