So, here’s where the problems began. Any idea is all well and good until you actually have to watch it play out in practice. The look of the covers was good and they worked well with the logo. The problem was with the manner in which the art had to be handled due to the letterbox effect. A sizable amount of art is lost as a result, and none of these covers were designed and illustrated with the letterbox in mind. With “Wanted,” they were. After some discussion, the decision was made to lose the white letterbox at the bottom of the cover, leaving just the white across the top to maintain the look of the logo. Our fancy logo box was scaled down to fit within this space as well, and Ron Marz and Stjepan Sejic’s credits were moved next to the logo on top. The end result looked, well, exactly like this.
