Kenneth McCoy Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2008.10.10 20:28:00 - [31] The EVE logo isn't the best they've used, and it just doesn't fit. The white format letters up top are waaaaay too big and eye catching, they shouldn't be on the front at all imo. Wouldn't use a rather rare faction battleship as the eye grabber, either. Not a fan of the swirly effect, doesn't blend very well, although that might just be because of the white color. The back is actually pretty good, that's a very good mega screenie, and the general layout is nice. Maybe don't use gray for the text boxes, it's a little bland. All in all though, it's better than what I could do ;)
Lost Hamster Serenity and Hungarian Operational Team Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.10.10 20:40:00 - [32] Cool. :) Let us know when you have the new front page ready. :) Then I would like to have it in high res mode. I need a cover for the last year fanfest dvd - (which contained the actual game itself). :)

I need a cover for the last year fanfest dvd - (which contained the actual game itself). :) Sure thing, ive already reworked the front portion some after taking the advice from this thread and a few others on diffrent sites into account. I may end up asking some fellow eve players if they would be kind enough to take some photos of various ships and what not for me tommorow or sunday, depending on how much of the other work I get done.
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.10.21 06:22:00 - [34] New cover I finally bit the bullet and made a copy for the test server so I can get images with little trouble. I took the advice of those who posted on this thread and another one and changed a few things around. Better or worse then the first one that I posted? I seem to behaving a problem wit this particular shot though as I cant see to get a decent photo of the mach approaching the eve gate without heavy pixalization dispite having AA on. Anyone know whats going on with this? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
Davina Braben	Posted - 2008.10.21 06:38:00 - [35] Edited by: Davina Braben on 21/10/2008 06:40:26 Very nice. The new angle on the Mach was a good choice. It's a good choice of ship too I think. Pimpenium Falcon. I'd maybe lose "All nine expansion packs!" (is that a selling point? Will most people know or care about any of them but Trinity/Empyrean Age?) and I'd say "EON Magazine Subscription" but that's just me. Did you consider listing some of the things you could do on the feature list too? MINE DEEP SPACE ASTEROID BELTS FIGHT IN VAST SPACE ARMADAS BECOME AN EVIL SPACE PIRATE etc. Maybe you don't have to use the word "space" in all of them. Maybe that's too cheesy generally. I'm hoping to use EVE in my dissertation.

Anyone know whats going on with this? Looks good. Certainly better than the original box imo. Only comment is my initial reaction was why does he have the Eve Online and CCP logos on the front twice? Then I realized the left portion of the front was intended for the side. Might make that clearer with a very subtle line. Probably not necessary though. Was just me being slow. But then whoever evaluates your work may have a slow moment as well. Sig removed, inappropriate content. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] ~Saint
Burukt Vri'ra Locus Industries	Posted - 2008.10.21 06:59:00 - [37] Edited by: Burukt Vri''ra on 21/10/2008 07:01:34 I liked the first one.. I like the new one even better. I think the Machariel was a good choice of ship for this, 'cause it... is. I'm going against the grain here to say that I liked the old rusted metal look of the old logo. I know it's a rough design, but the lettering on the new cover screams MSPaint when combined with the otherwise colourful front cover. Or maybe my eyes are just snagging on the jaggys. I like how you didn't try to cram a bunch of stuff onto the front too. The single Mach is nice, very nice. All in all, very cool. I for one would take this off the shelf and have a look. Edit: Oh, and title text overlapping the Mach isn't so catchy either. But it's still awesome! ----------------- I have a cargo space fetish. I like the echo.
Harrent Caldari	Posted - 2008.10.21 07:29:00 - [38] The price 29.95 has to be on there as well as the advertisement of FREE EXPANSIONS FOR LIFE! Perhaps where the veritical EVE logo is on the front? That seems redundant. Very very nice btw, i'd buy it :). Semper Fi
Kylar Renpurs Dusk Blade	Posted - 2008.10.21 07:42:00 - [39] My only drama is with the back section. The 3rd mini picture looks like a giant rectangle floating in space,, which is kinda boring. And while the megathron looks cool, the grey-on-grey of the text etc is a bit harsh on the eyes. Improve Market Competition!
Cheap Dude	Posted - 2008.10.21 07:44:00 - [40] Well.. I find it a bit.. meh... Ask yourself, what does the cover 'say'? Take the cover from CCP, it shows action. The cover you made just shows 2 large ships, nothing more, nothing less..
Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2008.10.21 08:20:00 - [41] I like it. Nicely done. Bellum Eternus [Vid] L E G E N D A R Y COLLECTION Inveniam viam aut faciam.
TimMc Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2008.10.21 08:26:00 - [42] Your box looks like it has Eve interface, which is not a good thing.
Siegfried Untreu Caldari Quid Pro Quo	Posted - 2008.10.21 09:12:00 - [43] Edited by: Siegfried Untreu on 21/10/2008 09:12:34 Originally by: Jacob Mei New cover My suggestions are... Front - Scale down the Win/Mac/Linux icons if you want to keep them on the front, they're way too big - Change the "Contains all 9 Expansion Packs" to only mention E-ON, make sure to spell things out: "subscription" rather than "sub" Back - If you use boxes, they should be properly aligned; both top and bottom parts are not aligned properly to each other and of different height, this upsets the angles - Size down the "Teen" rating box or - if you keep the rating on the front - remove it from the back (not sure how this is usually done and no game boxes around to check on ) - I would replace the lower-right image with something more recognizable, it looks like a dark block in front of the sun on that screenshot Additional first impressions of a friend of mine (former EVE player): "Too many elements, no hierarchy, no visual flow. A lot 'funny' secondary associations: "Light at the end of the tunnel", "EVE = booze" (crown cap association to the swirly thing). Overall, there's too many flaws in the design, I'd try a new one. I wouldn't buy based on that." He's a design-guy, so he's very picky, take it with a grain of salt. ;) Edit incoming...
Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2008.10.21 09:30:00 - [44] Should have a foul language warning imo :) SKUNK
royal killer Amarr Shadows Of The Federation	Posted - 2008.10.21 10:41:00 - [45] Originally by: CCP Fallout Much nicer than the original retail box, IMO. Dang that's old. -------------------- ding ding! Wrangler: Hello and w ding ding! Wrangler: ...damn nanowhiners.
Lost Hamster Serenity and Hungarian Operational Team Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.10.21 11:29:00 - [46] I like it, just one side note: the CCP logo should be in white. Not gray.
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.10.21 14:28:00 - [47] Thanks for all the input guys, I should have another refinement of the design in the next day or so now that a majority of the midterms are out of the way. Davina: Good point on the 9 expansion pack ad (yes its an ad). I orginally thought it was a good idea to indicate that the game has been out awhile and that alot of content in the form of expansions has been added. Further more, indicating that its an all in one package (as opposed to say Wow, that makes you buy each seperate expansion in its own package) was also something I was considering, but if the average individual wouldnt really care one way or another it might just do to drop the 9 expansions ad all togeather. I didnt include the things that a player could do but rather what the game itself offered, IE single server, 5000 systems, etc. Kylar: Thats actually the Monolith from the Dead End system, planet 5 moon 5 (check it out, its full of stars ) Sigfried Untreu: The Win/Mac/Linux icons are orginal size. What I did was take the game boxes of other games (Myst in particular), scanned the covers and then cut them out to use for the design. The Icons, after looking at it, might do with just a hair of a reduction in size. I studyed basicly all of the game boxes that I had and the one common theme they had was that the rating was both in the front (the abreviated rating) and then in the back with the reasons. Im assuming thats a design requirement so I wont change it as I am trying to mimmic a retail product. The lower right image was taken from CCP's corporate website actually so I would assume thats how its supposed to look, though I have seen it white before (maybe a dev could comment on this). Tell your friend thank you for me please as it's helped me rethink a few things with the cover. Le Skunk: Interestingly, all MMO's that I have checked have a disclaimer that says the ESRB hasnt rated the online content (IE the company isnt responsable for whats said by its players online. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
Tiirae The New Era HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.10.21 14:50:00 - [48] - Needs a better font; Arial is just too bland for something like this. You want something that's still very readable but a bit slicker. - Needs balance; all the little icons and boxes should line up with each other and be the same size. Same on the back, the teen rating box should be the same width as the images above it, and the same height as the text box on the left. - Text boxes on the back are too low-contrast. I think it would look better with a darker box and text in white.
Maria Kalista	Posted - 2008.10.21 14:59:00 - [49] Much better then the first one! For the rest I totally agree with Siegfried UntreuBut its coming nicely along. Originally by: CCP Mitnal You put a bear in your tea??? tl;dr: I'm too lazy to read the entirety of what you said, but I still want to say something.

OutOfTheBox Cyborg	Posted - 2008.10.21 20:45:00 - [54] Looks pretty good, but is the small print on the bottom of the back cover legible on a full size print? because it's nowhere near on your link for me.

Aeo IV Amarr Xomic OmniCorporation	Posted - 2008.10.21 23:38:00 - [59] Some suggestions: -Things like OS logos and CCP's Logo, -Rather then having two differnet backgrounds, try to get a image with a large ship (say a carrier) and a few smaller ships, and put it over both sides of the cover to try to give a sense of scale in the game. -the nine expansion thing should be a line in your info box, not on the front; the idea is to get the buyer to pick up the box and read the back. the second cover's image is pretty good, but I'd still like to see some smaller ships flying around the bigger one, to give a sense of scale.
