Replying to my own post!

Poll update.. (after 9 hours / 78 votes)..

- the original cover has a COMMANDING lead.. 67 %
- the 2nd one (red car on box) is dead in the water - 2%
- .. and it's neck and neck between the two "newest" potential covers at 15%
and 14% for the 3rd and 4th covers respectively..

Maybe someone should tell Sierra ! I am 95.67% sure that the leading cover
will NOT be used..
Anyone know where I can contact their marketing / development team? .. maybe
it's not too late :o))

What's up, dok?

I wouldn't bother sending the poll results to Sierra.  The lead time on
four-color printing and production of cartons is probably weeks longer than the
lead time on the CD-ROMs.  I expect the art was printed a while ago.  If it
wasn't, it will be holding up the sim itself, so don't go confusing Sierra and
slowing down the process, please!  I'm just going to throw the box away anyhow.

Man, I can't wait.  The steering wheel in my Lotus isn't the only thing wooden
around here!

Regards,

Kurt

I, too, like the old cover with the original emblem best, but that
might be because I have grown used to it. The "gold on green"
aesthetics seem to be mandatory on all GPL sites. I would guess that
#3 (same picture as the old one, but new typeface and coloring) will
make it, though. Actually, it looks more "authentic" for the time
period in question.

True... (about the box probably being printed up already)..
I'd like to find out what Sierra's plans actually ARE.. but I'll guess we'll
have to wait a few more weeks..

I have a sneaking suspicion that the box will be different in different
countries.
#1 was American, but is VERY old.. # 2 is American and replaced it...
# 3 is from a German source, whilst #4 is from Britain..

#2 has the "From the makers of Nascar 2!" on the box.. and I have a
(horrible) suspicion that this is the one they are going to use in N.
America. Someone please tell me it isn't so..
- Box # 2 only has TWO PERCENT of votes (still!).. o.k.. whoever it was..
Own up to it!!..come on!!
- # 1 is still WAY ahead
- # 3 is pulling slightly ahead of #4 after being neck-and-neck all
morning..

The box that they will use has to say Sierra Sports on it, so probably the
second one will be the box that Sierra uses.
