Windows 8 Cover Art

[linuxlove]

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?

[hounsell]

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

[DeFacto]

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

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!

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:

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.

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]

That's very nice , but I still dislike that new logo... :/
