I promise I'm done now. 

Bad starbuck! No!

Those designs look awesome, ignore the lifetime curmudgeons. I really like the first one although at the same time I love how the current board has that shot in the background of the crate in the level. If that could be worked in I think you'd have a winner.

A hypothetical winner, of course, since I know it would never get implemented. :) 

Spot on as usual :).

The new designs, really radical dude. Same style with big happy font? Hmmm. 

I've never been called a lifetime curmudgeon before. It has a nice ring to it! 

if i ever met you, i'll buy you the beer..

but i prefer linda fiorentino.........

Trinca & Spy, get a room! :) 

willem, you're kidding, right? RIGHT? 

thanks dude, very nice of you. Willem, comments appreciated, I guess my tastes lean a bit further towards the web 2.0 thing than most here, but that's ok, I don't take any of the snarkyness to heart. Iterative design, baby, change it until it works. The post above is genuinely rude though, my opinion of that guy just fell through the floor. 

why would i be nice to you :P

Design isn't taking a bunch of all-the-rage-in-2003 elements (gradients, rounded corners, beige, gray, lower case, icons, taglines like that, ...) and replacing individual elements of the old design without consideration.

That said, i like the header with just a plain bg and the new crate, which is the thing with the most faithful 'redesign' imho. And everything which is just the old func with moderately larger sized typo.

The rest.. throw it away and hope it never returns.

a {font-size:18px !important;}

But I think Starbuck was joking? And oh! will I feel bad that I said this if he doesn't. 

no worries megaman. 

been meaning to link this for a while... Have you guys seen the "make video game covers classy!" craze that's going round? Basically means making covers for games in the style of a classic novel, etc.

That's all from some thread on something awful, some of the stuff there is really fantastic.
