I thought it was ok. I just dont know how often i'd watch it. I also saw better artwork on this forum so even though this isnt bad, the fact i've seen better doesnt help!

No disrespect to the winner (I couldn't have done better) but I prefered a few others but I would've been buying this either way.

It's definitely an aquired taste. I think there were a few restless people in with me last night.

I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Drive but did moreso than VR but I thought both Drive and Valhalla Rising were better visually (Personally I haven't seen much better than VR visually).
 
Meh! :squint:

Hope they polish the design a bit. Don't like the way you can see 'comic book style dots' on Gosling's face on the front. Just makes it look like a cheap print job! Also, the title looks like it's been designed on an 'Etch-a-sketch'!! Overall it looks very drab :(

Will reserve judgement until I see pics of the final product.

Hmm, I'm undecided on the artwork. As it currently stands ill probably cancel although I expect a couple of chances to made to the artwork to make it look more professional. I'm just going to wait for Zavvi to announce it and then Ill decide.
 
Well that's a shock! I've seen so many better versions submitted. I don't even remember seeing this one. Well I will also be cancelling, front could of been so bright and vibrant like zestys.
Dissapointed
 
I'll keep it on pre order until I make a final decision.

Good points:
Nice colours. Spine would certainly stand out on the shelf.
Nice alternative logo.


Bad points:
Flowers weren't really a semiotic in the film. They don't convey anything.
Front is strangely less vivid than the back.
The comic book print effect on Ryan's face doesn't really complement the floral pattern.

Unlike the rest of you I'm glad Zesty's wasn't picked, there is nothing unique and creative about copy & pasting from Google Images and not altering the image in any way. It might have looked nice to you, but none of it was his own work. It would have taken no more than 5 minutes.

There was so much awesome and colourful artwork submitted, yet a boring dull black design was chosen..... let the conspiracy theories start, hehe.... ;)

Will probably cancel this myself.
 
I quite like it despite the black. It suits the style of the film; neon & darkness.

Though there were better submissions on this thread I believe.
 
You'd think for a competition where somebody 'designs the Steelbook' they could've shown us what he did for the inside artwork also?

Maybe he put so much effort into the front and back that he didn't have time for inside art (blank!!) :p

God that's a poor choice compared to others! Zesty's and one two others stood out head and shoulders above the majority.

However if NWF picked this, then congrats to the winner... Obviously he saw seomthing in the design that complimented his film.
 
Just found the standard edition at the store today. A lot of people is going to be disappointed when reading the genre :hilarious:
