GPL BOX art - Which one do you prefer?? (4 to choose from)

Just put it up.. Four (that's right .. four) Grand Prix Legends boxes.. go see 'em and vote.. More pics tomorrow.. doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl For the GPL track files, FAQs (I've got them!), installation help, release date updates, poll-of-the week, pictures, and more!

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)) doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl For the GPL track files, FAQs (I've got them!), installation help, release date updates, poll-of-the week, pictures, and more! >Just put it up.. >Four (that's right .. four) Grand Prix Legends boxes.. go see 'em and vote..

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. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

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.. doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl For the GPL track files, FAQs (I've got them!), installation help, release date updates, poll-of-the week, pictures, and more!

HUH? you mean that I *REALLY* should have bought "Mario Andrettis Racing", Johnny Herberts Racing", "Nigel Mansells Racing" and "Bill Clintons Racing"?

WHO CARES what the box looks like!! I just want the CD inside! Matt Wilson

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. Cya, Stuart Becktell >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
