Drive (Possible Blu-ray SteelBook) - Mondo artwork

[apsmith21]

Hey guys! I've been asked to gauge the response of our membership here and your feedback will help determine if this steelbook and potentially other steelbooks like it become a reality! I hope you are as excited as I am about this opportunity to weigh in on the beginnings of the steelbook process.

If you're not familiar with Mondo, and what they do, here's a small overview...

Mondo creates limited edition screen printed posters for our favorite classic and contemporary films, in addition to vinyl movie soundtracks, VHS re-issues, and apparel. We also have a permanent gallery space in Austin, TX featuring a mix of original artwork and limited edition screen prints.

See more of what they do at http://www.mondotees.com

Here's the art that has the best chance of being approved! DRIVE.



What could set this steelbook apart?

1) As we already said, Mondo artwork
2) For part of the finish, a number of layers of paint can be applied to the steelbook. Whites appear whiter, and color contrasts should appear starker when seen in person.
3) HIGH GLOSS
4) No debossing or embossing as it would detract from the new "layered" effect
5) WEA artwork
6) Potential minimum print run of 4,000 units

Where would this steelbook be released? I can't say right now, but let us know your feedback. If you have other design ideas, let us know, and maybe they will be included in the final product!

Also, what would the region coding on the disc be?

Likely Region A only

Actually preferred the art by axldelarge in the OP. A bit disappointed by the final art. I'm sure it will feel high quality but already have HMV steel and not that big a fan of this movie to double dip. Just my 2 cents.

It's not actually axldelarge's art. It's by an artist called Ken Taylor and also released as a screen print by Mondo in 2012.

I'm also wondering why they chose Tyler Stout's artwork, not that I'm complaining as I love it. Would be cool to know, that's all.
