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!

Second one has my vote

If they can release three different steelbooks for Star Trek, then surely they can do the same for Drive! I'm sure Snooloui would approve of that idea.

Second one has my vote

Mine too

 

[Flloydo]

I'm in

 

[swpix7]

Yup! second one for me.
But, to be honest, I love my HMV and do not think I would double dip on this one

 

[goufcustom]

They took my money already

How about 1/4 slip and lenticular full slip !?

 

[Sounder]

The idea of Mondo artwork is a great one, but I'm not sure about the title. I love Drive, and love my German Steelbook (HMV got too expensive), but I really don't know if it is necessary to double dip. 4,000 print run for this may be too high.

Mondo => poor server

 

[wjasoncul]

HELL YEAH!!!

drive was an awesome movie had an awesome soundtrack
had an aesome steelbook and now this awesome mondo
can it do no wrong..

 

[Slim]

Are you f'ing kidding me, I love that poster and I own it. This is seriously the coolest steelbooks news ever if it comes true and is the beginning of a new trend.

Any Mondo art + steelbooks = orgasmic

The Raid (UK) by Jock is perfect proof.

 

[nicblue]

Really like the second one noodles! Hope they take a look at it

 

[levi]

i like the mondo art. i already have the hmv steel, but if they throw in the films full original soundtrack on cd as part of the set, it would make it a worthwhile purchase

I like your second choice much better than anything else presented. I'd go for that one in a heartbeat but would have to pass on the others.

 

[yardman]

your quite right about the 3 star trek steelbooks but it would appear they are just copying each other and doing re-releases these fantastic looking steelbooks would take effort which the companies are starting to lack..

 

[Skog]

Would sales and demand influence the possiblilty of future Mondo steelbooks?

I wasn't crazy about Drive but could buy something of this potential calibre.

 

[digitalbabe]

Great comments, folks-thanks for sharing your thoughts at HDN! rock:

 

[tridon]

Oh HELL YES!!!

 

[Sigill]

I would definatly buy this, it looks amazing!

 

[Oh Dae su]

Must have this, Hopefully there will be more Steelbooks with Mondo artwork.
