Based on (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classy-video-games.php) these (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classy-video-games2.php) four (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classy-games3.php) threads (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classy-games4.php) I have created 'classy' box covers for potential re-releases of Freespace and FS2. Feel free to contribute your own.

Love the first one - it grabs me more than the second though.
Awesome work!
-
The first one looks like a classic science fiction paperback cover. The second looks like it is called Volition Inc.
-
Cool Galemp. :)
What program(s) did you use?
Since I do this for a living I "have" to participate. :D I'll come up with something a little later.
BTW, I like the first one better nice use of color and white space on both.
-
I used GIMP and ModelView, pilfered the screenshot in the second from the Celebration Of Freespace thread, and used my custom Freespace fonts for the GTA/GTVA logos.
-
Shouldn't it be "FreeSpace" with the capital "S"?
-
It should, yeah...
I like the second one, it's got that stupid classic book-like cover.
-
Heheheh, make one for Silent Threat (the original, I mean)
-
Both are very cool. :nod: I think I prefer the "no-frills" style of the first one slightly more, it just has that iconic FS look what with the Lucifer and the Arcadia being in it.
-
Dang, the first one makes me really wish there was a tom-clancy-style adaption of FS1

would the main pilot eventually become President of the GTA and make speeches about how they will not bow to the shivan threat
?
-
No, more like Red Storm Rising.
-
FS1 cover is p.e.r.f.e.c.t!!
May I get the full cover?? (It means back side too) - the ready to print one.
*shiv WANTS!
EDIT: I'll try designing myself something too...

Inspired, i like them both, although the second image screams BOOK cover to me. ;)

Screams "Penguin Classics" to me, actually.

Yeah, I thought it was supposed to be some kind of Penguin Game Classics or something...
