Henry Lee Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Try to find the needle in the haysack! My favorites are : Justin's last three entries (very sleek, minimalist, wow) Adam Gurno's first entry (looks like a Magazine add, very fashonable on a cart) Claudio H. Picolo and Daniel Scott Jr (traditional, yes atari is 25 years old!) Jason Parlee (you should try a couple more with the same rotated pitfall's crocodile with taking off the big K and the Mac font 2600. highly graphical, i love it) And the two funnier ... Nathan Strums and Manu Pärissnen And the winner is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Lee Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hello! Sorry about the message repetion, computer bug, I think. and I badly spelled... Needle in a haystack, means that there are so many entries and a lot of them very nice. On my behalf, I am a little busy, even I send my last post 5 times. But I will try soon. Best of luck everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio H. Picolo Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Thanks by the comments from Henry Lee and SS! I expect with this design, make the user feel like using an 80's device instead of a 21st century one. I think to change some texts line "programmable flash" to "programmable device"... I was studiyng another design not so traditional, but probably I will not send it in time... I have a lot of works running this week... But I am accepting suggestions...

gannon Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Here's mine, I figured I might as well do something in my extra time. Oh yeah, and can anybody tell what game that hex sourcecode is from? That's kinda impossible to know though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck everybody! Have you ever noticed how you can derive two meanings from one message based solely on your mood or attitude when you read it? Cutting to the chase - I read too much into your post. I thought the intention and motive was opposite, actually. I offer my apologies for trying to be "smart".

gannon Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 lol spongebue you fool!!! You just had to tell them Oh yeah, I just noticed that my background colors are slightly off, so if your running on a mac or have your gamma cranked up it looks pretty crappy.

Albert Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 hmmm... Pitfall? There are a few entries that use the crocodile head from Pitfall in their design. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I really like Cye Freeman's entry. Very clean, nice layout, and makes it clear what the cart is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 I've just posted 14 more labels submitted for the contest, from Renato Brito, Michael Matei, John McKechnie, Efren Ramirez, Alexius Wronka, and Adam Gurno.

SS Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Oooooh! I'm quite digging Renato Brito's entry #5 now too! Glad that I don't have to make the final selection. So many good looking entries to choose from. It won't be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 Glad that I don't have to make the final selection. So many good looking entries to choose from. It won't be easy. I agree, there are so many wonderful entries I wouldn't even know where to begin if I had to narrow it down to just ONE! I will have some input on the label chosen, but Armin has the final word. I'm glad that decision doesn't rest with me!! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Wow... there's some great stuff up there! I really like Alexius Wronka's and pretty much all of Renato Brito's (especially #3, #4, and #7). Tough decision. Good luck picking just one.

Radio F Software Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Well I've been thouroghly pwned since nearly every entry has kinda kicked mine away (Justin Bardin). Mine WAS the first entry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Just added another 16 (!) entries, from Jacob Rose, Martin Maldonado, Hernan Callo, Justin Scott, Philip Wood, Harvey deKleine, Greg Chabala, Efren Ramirez, Michael Matei, and Brett Northfield. That brings the total number of labels submited to 83!

Henry Lee Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 My vote goes for Ronato Brito #7 or 8 for that attractive artwork perfect for a label and with a little suggestion of the old pac-man smile. It is nice to look at from far and close. I like the #5 and 6 because of the handle but the flush left title somehow hurts my eyes because everything is centered. A lot of entries with the ones I mentionned on my earlier post Therrrre GrrrreaT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexius Wronka Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I love how much interest there is in this retro gaming. Man, I wish I knew about these contest sooner. if I was born 15 years earlier doing game box art would have been my job or least that's what I would have tried to be. and man is the competition fierce. nice job all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 I've posted one final submission from Justin Scott that came in before the deadline. Thanks to everyone who took the time to submit label designs, the quality of the submissions is superb! I expect we'll be able to announce the winner in a few short days. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
