Come up with your ideas on what the Windows 8 cover art will look like. All you need is to have made the concept yourself if you want to post in this thread.

I'll start with something funny:

I'll come up with something a bit more serious later.

Showed this to everyone on #nttalk last night, but figured I'd post this here. Kind of a tradition of mine to make a nice DVD case for every major release. It's not nearly done yet but it's coming together well if I do say so myself.

Here's a quick mash-up of mine:

I think they should stick with the classic design.

to ptowery:
The best one, because comparing 8 with older Windows is offensive. Older programmers may be offended.

How exactly is it offensive?

Anyone who takes offence at cover art deserves all the hurt feelings they have.

DeFacto · **Post subject:** Re: Windows 8 Cover Art **Posted:** Wed Feb 22, 2012 3:43 pm

He thinks everyone is offended if you say a single innocent word to them... 8-)

Topic cleaned. Let's stay on-topic.

May i just answer on questions?
How is it possible to compare 8 with Win95 and Win3.0?

It's a joke... I created my cover art because of how people have said Windows 8 is like Windows 1.01 due to the way their user interfaces work.

I'll try to make one in GIMP in a bit with help from Blizzardo1.

Stay tuned!

Here's my more serious entry:
Black & White:

Color:

Nice and simple. The border around the image is so where you know to cut when you go to print it out and put it in a DVD case. Speaking of printing it out, here's the black & white cover art in a DVD case:

Ramireztime · **Post subject:** Re: Windows 8 Cover Art **Posted:** Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:29 am

It's not finished yet but here's a preview

I'll release the cover here on Feb 28. Any suggestions?

Do NOT use as final DVD cover, its not Hi-res and not complete yet.

linuxlove · **Post subject:** Re: Windows 8 Cover Art **Posted:** Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:33 am

lol, you copied my System Requirements list

About all I can say is that 'reimagined' needs to be capitalized and have a hyphen thrown in, where it reads "Windows Re-imagined". The spacing in "Windows 8" needs a little work, the letters are too far apart as it is right now.

DeFacto · **Post subject:** Re: Windows 8 Cover Art **Posted:** Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:43 pm

That's very nice

, but I still dislike that new logo... :/
