The document is done and online. Dig in! Have fun! There are a couple more things in there that were not shown in the anniversary stream. https://gamehistory.org/monkeyisland/

Looks like the LRG website still uses my version of the box: The gold around the logo and the Anthology subtitle were supposed to be stamped gold foil.

I won't be sharing any artwork from the release until after pre-orders have closed on it. But come February 2021, I'll fire away 😉 And thanks for noticing what I went for with my design. I basically wanted to introduce a new border pattern that fit the existing boxes, but still felt new. While the marble pattern in this state is in fact an original design by me, it's heavily based on this pattern I found and used for my first mockup: https://munroandkerr.co.uk/products/blue-04-marbled-paper-coolie-lampshade Also the dark-blue/gold of the pattern and the black/gold of the logo were supposed to underline the premium value of the box. But I guess Disney wanted to tie it in more with SoMI's green and the current coloring of the logos via the SE's... marketing be damned. But I think it must have been a nightmare getting so many different pieces approved, so I'm still happy how it turned out.

The restored cutscenes of the cannibals using the Monkey Head is quite nice! https://youtu.be/DLnx2thglFQ

Anyone know how close a replica the code wheels will be? They look fake in the mock-up. I still have my MI2 one I remember asking Jake an (in hindsight) embarrassingly basic Photoshop question (how do you stop things from sticking to guides). He was very nice in his response, especially considering how basic it must have been to him.

This looks great. Laserschwert I’m glad they used a colored MI logo as opposed to the foil - a colored logo goes better with Purcell’s art in my opinion. But it’s neither here nor there, this all looks nice and I’m sure it’ll look great in print.

Looks very nice, now! Much improved, great work on the box design Laserschwert. Very happy to see that Elaine has some visual presence in the collection now.

Furthermore the format of the box somewhat dictated the size and position of the front artwork. It has a removable lid on top, so I needed to stay clear of that seam, plus the artwork didn't allow for much cropping, without restraining the size of the logo too much. The border is a bit narrower on LRG's adjusted version though, plus good call on making the marbling smaller.

Interesting to do a before and after: Murray looks absolutely hideous, but the rest. Annoyingly good. Dammit!

The really better version is now presented:

I'm pretty sure he meant the stream, not the source code.

Well, I for one love the Hit The Road soundtrack! Anyway, not sure if this kind of thing is exactly what was intended for this thread, but here's something I did for Art October:
