Those are fucking hideous.

 

[VOOK]

Here's a blank if anyone is interested.

 

[Kacho]

Seems alright, I guess. No more white labels is a good thing.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

So they're going for the look of the box art of their worst selling console, and on top of that decided to let a colour blind person pick the colours.

This really does look fan made.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

As lots of people have said, yellow needs to turn white.
Other than that, its good.

 

[lefantome]

Ugliest cover ever.

The should have keep the wii u blue for the logo and have a white background. Yellow banned from the cover.

 

[Phife Dawg]

No, orange is.

Anyway, I hate this new design. The white looks so much better than the yellow.

Depends on the system you use. Blue - yellow follows cmyk if I'm not mistaken.

 

[jimmythepage]

ugly beyond possible, GC one were better.
Surely look like something designed for a demographic even under the typical N market.

 

[Meatvillain]

I think it'd be cool if the labeling was blue with that touch of yellow and the DVD case was a solid yellow. I think that would look pretty rad.

Huh?

Mmm good old GAF hyperbole.

 

[dose]

Yellow ruins it. Should be black/white so it doesnt ever conflict with cover art :/

Just like the green on the Xbox360 boxart does? I like the fact everyone has become an artist in this thread lol. Blue and yellow work fine together.

 

[Goldrusher]

The yellow doesn't make any sense.

 

[PapaJustify]

The yellow doesn't make any sense.

Not yet.
But what do WE know about color schemes Nintendo is using for use in software, packaging and advertising?

 

[superfamicom]

Here is my super quick idea of how it should look. Feels more like it fits with the white Wii/U theme.

Because I'm sure that would really help with the "WiiU is a Wii add-on" confusion.

 

[Plinko]

I actually like the fact that the boxes are now blue.

 

[ASIS]

looks very 2000-ish. Not bad though.

Could you do another one with these two adjustments:
1. Give Wii U logo its original color.
2. No shadow in the logo.

Please?

 

[GCX]

Not yet.

Yeah I feel like we're going to see a lot of blue and yellow in the marketing campaign.

Makes sense really since they need distinguish the console from Wii.

 

[atomico]

I bet a ton of people are gonna be wondering why these games don't work on their Wii

 

[SykoTech]

So basically GameCube style, but this time using colors that are going to clash with a lot of different boxarts. Meh.

I don't like the yellow.

Off topic I don't like Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth: box art.

That Spiderman pose creeps me out. The whole things looks wrong.

Matches the way the rest of that putrid game is looking.

 

[ASIS]

How many people got confused with Xbox and 360?
PSP and Vita?
PS2 and PS3?

Honestly with that box art template, no one can blame anyone but themselves.

 

[Red UFO]

I have no idea how you people can be so analytical over the banner on the top of a box.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

I feel like there's too much blank space around the WiiU logo. They should trim the fat somehow.

 

[wrowa]

I like the yellow.

 

[superfamicom]

Here are a few more edits.

I like the last one.

 

[Glass Joe]

Probably because blu-ray cases are proprietary for the blu-ray standard discs, which Wii U game discs are not. It's probably due to legal issues.

I don't think Blu Ray can copyright a box size. If I remember right, back when HD-DVD was still a thing, those were Blu-Ray sized too, (give or take), just with a different color (purplish?).

Anyway the Blue with a gold border isn't bad. At least it differentiates from Wii. Might end up looking kind of cool in person, if the gold is reflective material (common in sports cards).

 

[Agent Unknown]

 

[Xristot]

I think the yellow is ok. it makes the top pop out a lot more than it would with a black/white/blue line there. The whole point of the box is to attract your eye and I actually think that sliver of yellow helps.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Dat yellow

 

[sakipon]

Dat yellow

It makes so much more sense when together with shades of red.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

That looks awful. Use a white stroke border around the blue you morons. What the hell does yellow have to do with the Wii/Wii U's white image branding or Nintendo's red/gray branding?

Flatten it and I agree.

We haven't seen what WiiU's branding looks like outside the logo.

 

[Krabboss]

OH MY GOD THERE'S YELLOW ON THE BOX

WHAT IS YOUR JUSTIFICATION FOR THE YELLOW NINTENDO SUIHJGWRUGHQjrykj

 

[LOCK]

The yellow is alright.

Not that big of a deal. But it would be better without it..and the ugly blue.

 

[MYE]

hmm

 

[Wiz]

As long as it's not too similar to the Wii box. That's the only thing I was worried about.

 

[MisterHero]

lol non-specific action figure may be on to something

I have no idea how you people can be so analytical over the banner on the top of a box.

They pay people to be experts and understand how people react to visual arrangements. It's not that hard to grasp.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

:3

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I like it. The blue and yellow reminds me of something but I'm not sure what. It's probably a common color combination but its still bugging me

 

[nordique]

I'm not convinced these are real. Something is off about them, although they are high res.

Could be wrong though

 

[TunaLover]

Why the yellow Nintendo, why!

 

[nordique]

This style is looking more and more official.

But if they are real....

this actually doesn't look bad at all....yellow included...

 

[Yka]

What's the point of the yellow?

Heja Sverige!

 

[Übermatik]

The yellow... somehow... looks good...

But why it's there, I don't know!

 

[Plinko]

The yellow has to be to help people who don't know any better to distinguish between a Wii and Wii U game, which Nintendo could have easily done had they not named the system Wii U.

 

[TunaLover]

But why it's there, I don't know!

But man, I though you were giving us answers ;___;

The whole box is blue for god sake!
If people can't distinguish between a white and blue box, I don't think a yellow line could help neither.

 

[marc^o^]

Day 1.

 

[playingwithfire]

All blue works for me

This.

 

[Hakai]

I'm enjoying this boxes, yeaah the yellow kind break the whole thing, but I'm getting used to it.

If the yellow turns out to be gold shine, it will be spot on actually.
