bluriness is no problem , but do you think alot of people will put it in jewel boxes ? i`m not realy sure :/
Obviously not, most of those are broken and even if not you still have to get the original game out, which may cause damage to both disk and the manual.
Make it DVD case sized, since is the closest thing available.

It looks pretty cool, like paper mario but showing the whole concept behind Xtreme

Brilliant!
I really like that cover, very original!
Only thing to improve would be the blank aura around sonic and the enemy.

firstly the hands down winner in my opinion is yourtoms one from above, heres my unworthy effort, felt like a kid again in a drawing competition. i went for a classic goldy oldy look took the cover because it`s an older system which is aging gracefully (hopefully)

Really cool, YourTom. Did you design that yourself? I think you ought to go with the Japanese logo, though.
Yours is also excellent, DRussian.

I like it, but the 3D Sonic thing needs to be bigger IMO.

Did you design that yourself?
oh no , that was actually a sonic goodie you could order in japan , its paperwork.
designing 3d objects is far beyond my knowledge :(
btw , do you have a japanese logo for me ?
for me , i realy like the hand made covers , i`m not so good at this so i`m useing existing pictures to make a cover. its not about winning the competition , i just enjoy working a little with PS :D

I actually downloaded that 3d Paper art thing and am looking for a suitable high quality paper to build it with, Pretty cool.
Barcode I like your cover, but it's just not extreme in any way. Minimalist and X-treme just don't mix to well.

That one is my favourite, because of the subtitle. And because of the correct spelling of our forum. ASSEMbler, but if other also corrected the name of the forum, then it would be just as smashing. So in reality, I have no favourites, they are all great.

There was one other variant i did with a large pencil coming from the right of the cover with the eraser at sonics stomach. wasnt too sure about using the sonic x-treme logo ppl have been using as i wasnt sure if someone here had created it.

I re-did mine using the Sonic Xtreme logo created by a member here, instead of the one I found on another forum created by someone else:

i would also like to use the logo but i`m not sure how the person who created it might take it. i guess we are all trying to come up with the best design.

I really love your cover. Just perfect.

grap3fruitman made the logo in question and he stated earlier that anyone who wanted to could use it.
Where did he go anyway?
DRussian
06-09-2007, 08:40 PM
right this is my last attempt, it`s a US longbox and i`ve left room for additional text in the darker box. ain`t the best but it`s fun making em. this is my more simplistic approach one. the image can easily be shifted, sonic resized and the sonic x-treme logo made parallel.

I'm busy with shit outside the internet right now. I did fix something with the logo a few weeks ago but haven't updated this thread with it. Let me get the fixed version.
http://home.comcast.net/~doa5/shitlogob.png (http://home.comcast.net/~doa5/shitlogob.ai)
Click the image for a vector version of the file. If you're using Photoshop go to File > Place and select shitlogob.ai and you can resize it to any size you'd like while maintaining it's appearance.
My gripe with the logo I've made and many of the box arts here is that they don't have anything to do with Xtreme. I wanted to remake the Xtreme logo but I hadn't gotten around to it and now I've got some shit I'm trying to sort outside the internet. Add the fact that I'm fairly depressed and have migraines as soon as I get up in the morning or shortly after have made the past few weeks nerve racking. Please shoot me.

No, but handofg0d made one that looks very similar to the one you used. I could probably replicate what he did, though, if you want me to. Or you could just ask him for it.

for the safety of viewers there should be a warning in the bottom right that reads, "warning may induce seizures". and then maybe a tiny picture of a child scratching their eyes out.

Sonik: I like the style of that piece, but the face looks wrong to me. The eyeballs are too tall, not round enough and there's too large of a piece connecting both eyes in the middle. Subsequently his head is too tall as well. If he could fix the eyes I think it would look much better. Compare it to this: http://www.archiecomics.com/news/images/august2006/15th_sonic.gif

in the winrar file, there are the covers folder and the winners are in their own folder within that called "winner" so it will say cover/usa/winner/title.jpg for example. I won the Japanese catagory.
oh noes! my picture didn't make it to the release :P

So when I downloaded the Xtreme rar I noticed mine was the only complete cover (front/back/spine).
Anyone interested in a final completed version? I could still use some help for the text in the back :110:
I plan to print mine when I feel its finished ^^
