for me the web isn't so important but off center title really bugs me... i did a quick photoshop with the same size original title and it didn't even overlap with the web at all, so i don't know why they need to put the logo there... not good, not good at all...

tell me, this doesn't look better?

can someone let Zavvi know? is there a chance they might fix this?

6 of 1 half a dozen of the other. I think it ‘d look better if there was no title at all. Never understood why people want a title mucking up the art, but to each his own.

Offcenter title, looks like crap.

Looks fine to me. If you enter it, it ruins the line from the top web. That said, I come down firmly on leaving the title off the steelbook. I only want to see it on the spine.

I did a Photoshop too and even have the ruler going and as you can see very plainly in my image it's perfectly centered so I'm not sure what you all are talking about. There is roughly between 165-175 pixels from the edges of the title to the edge of the steelbook give or take a few.

I think you took the one that I photoshopped already, look at the one at the OP that’s clearly off center..

OooO Your right.

 

[Steely-Booked]

It looks like what they did was center it between the suspension cables and his web. Tough for me to compare the images directly, because the colors on the updated image aren’t as good (esp on Spider-Man and the logo) and they may be less sharp. Anyway, if anyone hates it, I’ll be glad to take a copy of their hands

You're absolutely right sir! There is no reason why the title shouldn't be centred on this, it's basic design and an easy fix at that.

My flabber will be well and truly gasted if they release it off centre!

That's the second WWA (much better than the fish bowl, IMHO ). The same artwork appears on many 4K releases, e.g., the US, CA, AU, TW, NL, and DE 4K SteelBooks, and also the Amazon FR Exclusive Blu-ray SteelBook.

Ah okay.

Yeah, I quite like it too! It's a bit strange though, cause all of the Spider-Man films (and Venom) seem to have their steelbook designs flipped with the UK. E.g. the red Venom steelbook was the 4K version in Scandinavia, and the black one was regular Blu-ray. Spider-Verse's designs were flipped too and FFH seems to be the same.

Artwork clearly inspired by the Oreo promotion (lol):-

My OCD approves.

I had the majority of these too... recently started selling them all though and now only have a few left. Loved them until they started getting a bit crazy and started doing them for films that weren't at all comic book related... not that it stopped me from buying most of them however lol.

Considering the wonky angle of the artwork on the front I don't mind the slightly off-centre title falling as it does almost perfectly between the web and the suspension chain ... back's a bit on the wonky side too if truth be told.

As for the car light trails: would have looked so much better had Spidey visited at night:-

Fun fact: not called Tower Bridge because of those two massive towers but because it's close by The Tower of London - the architecture of which influenced the design of the bridge.
Fun fact #2: Spidey may not know it but where he's prancing around shooting his webs was once a regular haunt for 'ladies of the night'.

 

[Blu-devil]

And another interesting factoid. The guy who purchased London Bridge and had it shipped back to Arizona actually believed he’d purchased Tower Bridge. Apparently he was just a little bit butted when it arrived.
Another fact, I was born less than a mile away, in Whitechapel.

Is it no longer a haunt for those "ladies of the night?" Asking for a friend.

And cue the QI kaxon!

That was a myth that the buyer was happy to allow circulate, as it just created additional publicity for his new attraction. The full story is set out here and in many other places:

The bridge that crossed an ocean

(And the man who moved it)

www.bbc.co.uk

A rumour that McCulloch - a millionaire and successful businessman - had “bought the wrong bridge” probably didn’t help, though it was, of course, complete nonsense.

“I know for a fact they knew exactly which bridge they were going to buy,” says Michael.

“Do you think anyone in their right mind would look at Tower Bridge and think they could take it apart and bring it here?

“But RP and CV felt that by allowing that rumour to perpetuate, it gave them continued publicity, so they let it go.”

Another interesting fact:

The Spider-Man swinging about in London was actually Prince Harry.

Confirming the long established rumour that he’s a prolific swinger...
