[wasting]

what the hell, thats the halo2 picture

 

[skip]

all of those are mock-ups.

 

[strikeselect]

um what

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Crap cover. Crap logo.

 

[demonkid666]

Those are all old covers.

 

[whatdidyousay]

all of those are mock-ups.

I hope so. Design-wise, that logo is a step backwards.

 

[Reilly]

the new logo sucks

 

[JonathanEx]

all of those are mock-ups.

the logo too?

 

[Zombie James]

hopefully they're new layout is better than the current one. Ugghh...

I really like the one from 1999/2000.

 

[skip]

not sure what final logo they went with, but it's something similar to that, yes.

 

[Wario64]

There's also a pic of Halo 3 that Shoe tries to cover up

 

[manxor]

I like the new logo... it's all 8-bit super-jaggy, makes EGM seem O.G.

 

[Wollan]

Is that pedo bear?

 

[Diatribe]

Those are all fake.

 

[Skilotonn]

Awwww... and I got all excited for nothing...

Even without skip saying it was a mockup, it's the same art from the Halo 2 issue...

Not so sure about the second pic though...

 

[Zombie James]

Oh, and glossy paper would be nice. Definitely glossy paper.

 

[BorkBork]

Is this from the 1up show? Maybe they're going with the KID ICARUS WII tactic again. :lol

 

[bishoptl]

in before "**** you EGM"

 

[RegularMK]

that shoe picture is hilariously shady-looking.

i love it.

 

[adelante]

If those are indeed mockups then I can see they're trying to bring the whole pixel look over to EGM as they've done wif 1up, GameVideos, Gazerk....using an abbreviated form harkens back to the easily forgettable days of EGM2...

 

[Rogosh]

Crap cover. Crap logo.

You could tell all of that from a few pixels off a video? Show a bit more respect.

 

[GDJustin]

Jesus mark, nice beard.

 

[castle007]

EEEEEWWWWW

 

[adg1034]

Skip/MarkMcD/Luke/any other 1up staffer- thoughts?

 

[Lo-Volt]

I wonder, then, what the new internal layout will be.

 

[temp]

That's some nice blur-shading.

Skip/MarkMcD/Luke/any other 1up staffer- thoughts?

everything on the door were mock-ups used to test the redesigned cover logos and coverlines (old halo 2 art, previous guitar hero II art, etc). EGM is finishing up the issue as we speak, and the cover is pretty much always the last thing to get signed off on.

also, we're having an office-wide beard growing competition.

I see. Is there also a change to the internal layout, or is this just about the cover for EGM? And your competition explains why you look so dark and mysterious in the 1up Show opening theme (since I couldn't load anything else).

And I suppose Luke's got himself a headstart :lol

 

[adg1034]

Yes, I know those were mockups. I was wondering about people's thoughts on the new, more 8-bit logo/magazine layout as opposed to the old one.

Also, wow, that was fast. Such service. Now, if it only worked when we called out Cliffy or Denis, or whatever username Ted Price goes by here...

 

[MMaRsu]

**** you egm

too early to tell. we've got a few more weeks of the growing stage to go through, then after that it's customization and judging. that's where you win or lose a whiskerino.

I'm defending champ from '04, but I've got my eye on rob from gamevideos and darren from GFW. they have me on density and speed, but I make up a lot of ground in the creative category. luke refused to shave to compete, so he's doing his own thing as an exhibition.

 

[LukeSmith]

I pulled out of the beard growing competition because I didn't want to shave mine.

oooooooh I see. personally, I like it. was never a big fan of the previous red-heavy design...the new EGM is more in line with 1UP network stuff (like adelante picked up on). after the adjustment period (OMG IT'S NEW AND THEREFORE SUCKS!), I think most people will like the new design.

Wait- Darren's growing a beard? I just can't see that.

Pics?

I must say... that rules. Mods, move this discussion to a separate thread. We need our beard discussion!

What? So you've nabbed a win the Biggest Head category and now you're looking forward to a winning streak for Best Beard? What other bodily competitions do you intend to win man

Skip's body wins all sorts of competitions in my eyes.

if it involves irregular or exaggerated feats of bodily manipulation, I intend to emerge victorious.

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Wait there's a beard off? Do you disqualify people for having lousy neck beards or cheek beards or is it just length?

 

[adelante]

Looks like we've got ourselves another model amongst them 1up staffers folks...the Nordish kind...

 

[Verano]

**** you egm

You're not the only one who hates that Mag.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I like the new logo.

Wow. And I have got to say, looking at the new Show intro, Skip's picture is very 'rape time' worthy in addition. He wins again.

Spoiler

Garnett, too. Goddamn.
