Why not go with orange color like Nintendo Network?

I'll like to see Orange+Blue+White

Thread title: "Can GAF ever come to a complete consensus?"

Everybody says no.

...

Someone will then point out that they all agreed.. which means they are all liars!

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Looks a ton better in the spine Target photos.

Btw, I HATE Blu-Ray sized boxes. The only small boxes I have ever liked were the Japan GCN boxes, only because DVD boxes for the mini-discs made little sense.

 

[Drago]

That yellow line is dumb, start a Facebook/Twitter spam campaign.

Would such a thing even work?

 

[BlackJace]

or

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

 

[SMT]

You're joking right?

This is one of the times where I do not jest. Terrible box-art, somebody should just seppuku themselves into oblivion.
Gaf should just design the art.

Damnnnn that looks so good.

They listened Operation Rainfall

Spoiler

kinda =P

 

[Ryoku]

Why are some people saying that it's gold? I admit, it being a nice, shiny gold would be much better than yellow, but where are you getting this from?

I like this.

I so want to crudely fill that yellow in with blue in MS paint.

 

[Kiryu]

I see that IGN's article about Wii U leak boxart. As far as I can tell that people who comment below the article does have worse tastes of Wii U Boxart.

Go see for yourself. :/

 

[Concept17]

Look like cheap books you would find at a grocery store to me for some reason.

 

[Mlatador]

I like it, because it looks new and unusual.

[Meelow]

I wanna see a GAF thread where everyone agrees on something.

Their was a thread asking if Shenmue 3 would ever be made and everyone said no.

If it's not Sony or MS related, it'll be met with much disdain over at the IGN side

Honestly.

There is literally no reason to use DVD cases anymore. The new "blu ray" style cases are not only smaller, but use less plastic.

 

[Boss Man]

This is the best one.

Too bad it doesn't matter lol. ._.

 

[beelzebozo]

i love the box. i love it more than i like the wii boxes, or the 360 boxes, or the gamecube or playstation 2 or super nintendo boxes for that matter. i love the box more than i love a midday nap or a cool glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade on a hot day.

but i just. cannot. tolerate. that. yellow. line.

 

[blamite]

My ideal design would be a white stripe with blue where the yellow is now, and the Wii U logo in it's normal gray/blue colors. White boxes, of course.

 

[TwoDurans]

The best part about the Wii-U is that if you put three of them together you get the noise an ambulance makes.

Can someone make this?

I'd like to see it too

Orange yes, I like this one.

I agree looks pretty good there when you can see the whole box

I like the way you think. You're a good junior member.

Holy shit you're more than a year late

This is the best one.

Glad you like it. I prefer it, as well, which is why I made it, lol. I like the idea of the network being incorporated into the logo instead of just having a separate logo for it.

This is amazing in so many ways.

I think that looks like shit.

Not the photoshop job or anything, just...that.

Gaf should just design the art.

I understand if you don't like the logo for the box art but it really doesn't look like blu-ray box arts at all.

There is literally no reason to use DVD cases anymore. The new "blu ray" style cases are not only smaller, but use less plastic.

Most DVD sized cases these days have plastic cut out in the middle of each side of the case to reduce the amount of plastic used, but I would rather have one whole sturdy case rather than a case with large holes in it. Not something worth complaining about though imo.

You never know. Graphic designers can use simple lines and shapes to screw with a person's mind.

Using a lot of yellow could be pleasing, but that tiny insignificant line can drive anyone mad!

 

[Quadraphonic]

The coloring reminds me of the C-list educational 'games' that you find in the toy aisle at Target, like Leapfrog.

 

[GDGF]

Can someone do one in the first generation Genesis box style?

Maybe even early Turbografx 16?

 

[diamount]

Somebody asked for the Genesis Red Line

Too retro.

 

[Vanille]

I don't mind the yellow. But that blue... yuck.

 

[Boss Man]

LeapFrog-U confirmed. Nintendo wins again.

vv You go to hell. ...That should be in the OP imho.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Replicant]

FUGLY. After Wii's box simple clean design this looks like a mess.

 

[trinest]

I like the yellow, and it would be cool if it was a different colour for different things. Maybe online would be orange or pink or something. Something which stands out and make people go "OMFG ONLINE ON MY WIIS?"

 

[Ryoku]

Fuck yes. Dat lemon.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Damn, I am underwhelmed, and that yellow is awful.. That said, I appreciate the GC throwback, but even so I was hoping for something sleeker.

I tinkered around with the magic wand a little more, and got a bigger selection than Drago

That helps a ton.

or

as does this.

Seems like I was beaten

But there's one with a gradient with the orange from the Nintendo Network logo to make up for my tardiness.

And this. I like the gradient orange a lot tbh.

Still, the flat blue looks off.. Maybe a gradient for it would look better? Anyone up for the task of editing it so it isnt as flat?

 

[Skiesofwonder]

One thing is for sure, they separate themselves from the Wii-line much more then the 3DS boxes do compared to DS games.

 

[hatchx]

I really like the boxart, personally. If they go with this, I'm happy.

Also, please keep art on the box. No promotional crap.

 

[MisterHero]

D: I was right! I like that label!

 

[alr1ght]

It's actually not flat, as the amazon compression destroys detail

 

[vagabondarts]

Do you think unassuming parents have bought 3DS games for kids thinking the game would fit the old DS?
I wonder how often it happens

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Stop.
