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!

DRIVE + MONDO= HELL

I think this is a great idea for future steelbooks. I don't mind the 4k runs either, means more people will order these. It would be pretty great if you also owned the poster that went with each Steelbook.

If you are talking about an original poster it was limited and is 24"x 36" so there is no way that would work. I have heard of Mondo reprinting smaller versions. Small enough to fit inside the steel would be a nice bonus.

P.S. this is my dream steelbook project come true. I was thinking about if I ever had the cash to create custom Mondo inspired steelbooks on my own. A please turn this Mondo poster into a steelbook thread would be awesome if this is really happening. I have a ton of suggestions and this Drive poster is an awesome start.

Oh I wasn't talking about them making new prints as well. I meant it would be cool if you already owned the print, and they came out with the Steelbook. Like I own the Raid LP, and it's nice to have that and the Steelbook.

If Mondo designed a set I would absolutely go all Pokémon and collect 'em all!

 

[EverythingBlu]

I will give you my money just to make it, then I will give you more to own it!

Sorry, I am tired and did not read that correctly. Yes, that would be really cool and I bet the steelbooks would cause the original posters value to rise in price. A bunch of new collectors would want to have a matching set of the steelbook and poster.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!

 

[Futurhythm]

Steelbooks with Mondo art is an absolute no-brainer. Yes yes yes, all the yes!

 

[kbr1656]

Heck yeah!

I'd gladly double dip for mondo artwork.

Having missed the HMV steelbook edition, I would go for the Mondo edition without any doubt...the cover art is perfect!

 

[Slaughtermom]

Giev tehe nowzors!

 

[Jim Morrison]

Yes please!

 

[southam1978]

I think collector's would rather have more limited print runs and to prove it, look at all the retailers following suit. You have Zavvi releasing a ton of 2k print runs that are selling out fast and you have Kimchi instantly selling out 1k print runs. This seems like the future to me.

Mondo releases go extremely fast in general, so I think 4000 copies is very good and it provides an opportunity to get a copy for each of us

I don't know how many copies Drive HMV has been limited but the people who have it now very happy, I think
