Dangard Ace Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Still don't really like #1. #2.....well, I've already got those cockpit images used somewhere else. I vote #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibayo Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) ATTENTION TO EVERYONE WHO LIKES NUMBER 1:This will most likely be the final design. Is there anything that anyone HATES and MUST change or add something? If not, this will be the FINAL design. And how about putting the YF-19 and the YF-21 in Batroid mode in the upper side of the box? Edit: and i vote for #2 of course,i love the cockpit images,but i think that the design should be more "tech like" (the planes scheme on the upper spine and Isamu and Guld in the spineinstead of the dark desert image) Edited January 27, 2005 by vibayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 The cockpit design is starting to really grow on me. Tell me what you guys think. AlphaHX you bastard!

The contest to determine who will get the case of their choice free of charge has ended. However, if you want to put something together, and post it up here, feel free.

Anubis Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) The cockpit one is looking pretty good too, though something should go on the top. I'm only going to get one (space and $$$), and #1 will go nicely with the Mech SDF Macross Box. Edited January 27, 2005 by Anubis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaHX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) edit: cockpit design but with full colour desert, remove the macross text and place a smaller blue pyramid in the center.. We've already tried the full color desert and as I've said before, theres too much contrast and it doesnt work well. I'll see if I can make it brighter in some way or something tho. Basically I'll see what I can do. No promises tho. I like the pyramid idea. I'll try that out. And how about putting the YF-19 and the YF-21 in Batroid mode in the upper side of the box?Edit: and i vote for #2 of course,i love the cockpit images,but i think that the design should be more "tech like" (the planes scheme on the upper spine and Isamu and Guld in the spineinstead of the dark desert image) Where on the box are u talking about? Are you talking about the top, as in above the spine? I'll know what you mean for it to be more "tech like" so I'll see what I can do with that but unfortunately, I have to say that I dont have a lot of pictures to work with. AlphaHX you bastard! You're gonna make me switch my vote to the cockpit box by making it irresistable Damn, it's looking great! Thanx! Good to see its growing on someone else too and its not just me! has the contest ended? if not i might try to do one design for the macross plus keepcase. Absolutely not. We still have one more case that we need to agree on so please, submit away. The contest to determine who will get the case of their choice free of charge has ended.However, if you want to put something together, and post it up here, feel free. Or, you could contact AlphaHX who is our design leader, and make some suggestions. Hahah... I still think its funny that I didnt know about getting the free case thing until Mechamaniac mentioned it and congratulated me on it. This is what I get for joining MW 6 months late into this thread... and then not read the whole thing. Anyways, akt_m if you're really interested in helping out. Feel free to help out, suggest, contact me, etc. I know I'll appreciate it. I need all the help I can get. I'm so glad I finally got in contact with Paul. I get to have suggestions and ideas from the big guy himself. The cockpit one is looking pretty good too, though something should go on the top.I'm only going to get one (space and $$$), and #1 will go nicely with the Mech SDF Macross Box. Something on top? Where on top? Above the spine? I need details... heeeeelp meee... Hmm... saving $$$... that brings up a question. Anyone know how much this is gonna be yet? I'll most likely buy both. After Paul let us have two designs, I cant let his gracious gesture go unnoticed. did it just for fun. w00t... thanx for contributing akt_m!

The spine and the panels look fine, but it's just black on the top of the box. As long as the price isn't insane, I'll be interested in buying two boxes. Hopefully it's around $30-$40 at most.

AlphaHX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) They were in the desert and they tested the YF-19 and YF-21 in the desert. Makes perfect sense to me. what i meant by not making sense is that the perspective with relationship to the background just doesn't work for me. edit: cockpit design but with full colour desert, remove the macross text and place a smaller blue pyramid in the center.. Heres MrDisco's suggestion with the triangle. I still cant get the desert to be colored and look fitting. Anyone got any suggestions? Oh yeah, I forgot to ask... for anyone who liked #3... anyone have any suggestions or is it fine the way it is?

Good to see its growing on someone else too and its not just me! If it get's much better, I'm gonna have no choice but to choose it. I really like the motif. Those big panels of the two cockpits look great and I love the enhanced "Macross Plus" title on the side. The enhancement really makes the words stand out, it's not invasive, and the brightness and color totally matches the overall palette. I really like it.

AlphaHX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 "Techier" one but w/o the desert at top. Btw, #3 people, all of these spine/top ideas can be added to #3 as well. Just let me know which one you would like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Not a big fan of the "techie" designs. Hate to say it, but I really don't like the colored desert scape on the spine either. However, the triangle is a nice addition to the cockpit spine. But at the same time, I really like the "Macross Plus" on the spine rather than the top of the box.

AlphaHX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 After looking at all the designs, the faded cockpits on the spine is starting to grow on me some.

No, no, I mean the big words in vertical. I do like the triangles, but I like the big words "Macross Plus" with that blue glow outline on the spine of the box. The Macross Plus logos on each of the side panels is nice, but somehow I like it better without anything put the cockpit pictures on those sides. Nope, I still hate those minature cockpits on the spine. I prefer the black and white, Isamu desert scape on the spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 The votes for 2 and 3 pretty much ended up to be a tie. Please vote people. Lets settle this! #2 #3 The final designs will look smiliar if not exactly like these pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) As long as the price isn't insane, I'll be interested in buying two boxes. Hopefully it's around $30-$40 at most. I don't want to be paying $100 per box Some clarification on pricing for those that are concerned... As it was established on the SDF project, the M+ case will be $35 + shipping. This is a discounted price for a custom and numbered release. Those who bought the SDF will benefit from an extra discount and be able to buy the case for $30 + shipping. This is also a price established by Paul based upon those who voted interest in the case, and not those who actually bought the case which was significantly less. . Paul is still honoring his prices despite the turnout of the SDF project. So to sum up... $30 - $40 bucks or so. Give or take a few dollars if you live somehwere that requires extra shipping.

vibayo Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) Well this is as far as i can go with my paint habilities Of course the isamu and guld background should be black and the fighters scheme should be resized Edited January 27, 2005 by vibayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDisco Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 i concede the full colour desert doesnt work with the cockpits :| what if we moved the b/w dessert to the top of the case and just have the spine with the blue pyramid logo and have the cockpits on the side?

That's a reasonable price for a very low product run of a custom. I’m sorry to hear about the poor turnout for the Macross box set. However, I believe I posted at the time that the biggest problem with a custom Macross box for the 9 disc set was finding a use for the original box. This is the reason I never considered involving myself in the first custom sale. I would have liked to own the custom designs since they were far superior to the ugly official box, but that leaves an empty box which I refuse to discard. I didn’t like the idea of filling the official box with non-Macross DVDs and I simply don’t have enough miscellaneous Macross DVDs to make the box useful. Regardless, I’m definitely willing to purchase two Macross Plus boxes for the price provided in this thread. I’d prefer if we could close the design voting soon. Who knows how I’ll feel about spending money on these boxes if a month or so goes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your changed vote, the cockpit design is actually ahead right now. I'm hoping to to wrap this up by this weekend cuz I have midterms coming up. sigh...
