What do you think of the new Box Art?

[Lordbob75]

So? What do you guys think? Give it a rating in the poll, then tell us what you like, don't like, and what you would change!
Please only rate the Full Retail box, NOT THE UPGRADE BOX!!!!!!

EDIT: Here is what the Upgrade box looks like (yes, I hate it too!)

One word (for the 3rd time) : Ugly.
1 star

 

[gaston]

I give it a 2. They have quite a bit of time to change the design though.

Can't vote, "It Sucks" isn't an option.

Thats what the "1 Star" option is there.......:sarc:

Also (to all), feel free to comment (draw if you wish) on what you think it should be, or what you would like to see.

Very True. Though nice box art helps sales.

Some people care,

Like myself who would use the box to put other important software discs in it, I would want it to look good seeing as I am frequently using some of my most important discs, meaning I'd have the box out frequently.

I would want something pleasant to look at.

Also we all have our opinions, and mine is that its ugly and I want it to be atleast remotely appealing.

like i said i don't care about the box but i don't see what's so wrong with it.

it does however show that my sources are good,

i showed the 7 logo here a few days ago: http://www.sevenforums.com/chillout-room/12231-windows-7-logo.html

and the box art around the same day: http://www.sevenforums.com/news/12392-windows-seven-box-shots-appear.html

Well its not 'whats wrong with it' its more what I don't like about it.

Its too plain, simple. Atleast put some effort into it, hell I could design that box art, and I suck at designing!

Maybe for Windows 8 they will just say 'screw it' and just use a plain old brown cardboard box (or go eco-friendly and use recycled cardboard, which is green I believe).

I love it! They could also leave the disk just the plain DVD+R and write Windows 8 X Edition on it in Sharpie, and the Box.

Lmao, Nah why bother labeling it? It would ruin the 'simpleness' of it. =P

In all seriousness though, I think MS should start selling OS's with both versions on them (meaning x86 and x64) but only use one key. Something like that. They smart *holds in laughter* they can figure it out.


EDIT: Scratch that last idea, MS would rather you pay more for x64 version =P

The comment that said it all!
Agreed!~~!

 

[Ballistyx]

how about instead of saying "it sucks" why dont you make your own design.. see you can do any better

I gave it a 3.. its alright

As Mercurial said.. its the OS that matters

 

[scaramonga]

Very plain and minimalistic, not necessary a bad thing, but the disk contents are far more important to me anyway.

 

[Lee]

Does it really make a difference. I am not buying the box but what the box contains. The box will go where all software boxes go. . .the landfill.

ditto @ 3 ... maybe we should declare a "make a sex-ified box art contest"
bring a little competition to the game.
-better yet, make em the same size/shape as the real box, so you can print em and glue it over the s&#ty retail one, when it comes out.

I think your onto something there Holo88

Maybe the admins and mods could organize something
