Buggy Loop said:Naw, i prefer N's design than androgyne, sorry dude. Andro's design just doesnt go with the Wii console, at least not the way i view the wii design. First, your white to gray fade makes it look like silver, thats industrial and cold, boring basicly, its been a color way overused in the past years, nowadays its full plain colors. And second, the blue
Its only a small line in Wii's design, not a focus, thats why i think nintendo's one is closer and easier to recognize with the console.
I just like simplicity
I think what you're doing wrong is that you're making it too flashy. Like, it's looks too cool.the androgyne said:Fair criticism - but regardless, i think what we'll get will be along those lines (gray fade, silver etc) just cause they use that a lot (website, in the photograph you posted even)
But i do favour simplicity as well and in all honesty think they'll go for something really white. The reason i didn't do this next one first is cause the 360 cases are predominantly white up the top, so i thought Nintendo might not do something so similar.
And forgive the complete overuse of that 'glossy floor' effect here.. but i think they've been aping apple just enough for that to find it's way into the final design too! Oh and this one's got a bottom panel purely cause the marvel artwork is in that ratio... more like the blu-ray size packages perhaps?
The blue line should be flat, not embossed.the androgyne said:Damn! Can't please everyone it seems Tho being 'too cool' is not so bad i guess!
Here's that one stripped down a bit.
Even though it looks cool, these kind of things are too fragile. DVD cases are so much more sturdier.the androgyne said:
Unlike traditional DVD and CD cases, Super Jewel Box cases are virtually impossible to break with regular use.

MrNibbles said:I want publishers to give us just the ****ing art.
No logos/etc.
Then they can slap a transparant sleeve with the logos on it over the box art. Or another sleeve with the art & logos.
At the store, morons will be able to see: What system it's for, if it's online, who made and published the game, and if little Johnny should be playing Rockstar's latest rape sim.
When you take the game home, you can pull out the outer boxart/transparency, in effect removing the annoying logos. (This also opens up the door to extending boxart to the BACK, instead of the lame-o 3 screenshots and a quote from a random magazine.)
People who like the art yet want to keep the original logod version can simply insert the logod version behind the boxart.
Rocked said:I like the first header a lot. What a shame it's fake.
VOOK said:Oh here is the other one Angrogene made, I just used his header (with permission)
I only made it to see if anyone would pick it up, the opera DS box I posted back here when it was first annouced showed up on no less then 5 sites, including Gamasutra
