Looks so much better with an actual "i" in my opinon.

Picture used from earlier in the thread.

If it was with an 'I' it would need to be with the title in the middle like it is in @Noodles mockup otherwise I prefer it without imo.

I contacted FA about this and have given them some feedback from this thread. They've told me that the design is that the spaceship replaces the 'I', which I'm sure we are all well aware of. It seems as if this design has been finalised so I don't think anything will change.

We can hope though. If not, come on HDZeta

 

[cooey]

Yup, just been doubly confirmed. The approval process has already started and there are no plans to change the design

That's too bad. I will, however, be buying this even with the missing "i" because this was my favorite film of 2016 just ahead of La La Land.

If a better version comes along, as much as I prefer to never buy two of anything, I will buy it. Not taking any chances by passing on this.

I'm sorry but with the 'I' it looks like a string from a tampon hanging out of "you know what". I'm happy there's no 'I' where they had it.

That would be a very tiny string for such a gigantic "you know what."

That would be a very tiny string for such a gigantic "you know what."

That's the image I see when I see that 'I'.

Cheers for the update. I shall be voting with my wallet.

 

[yy0925]

Well that's too bad...
I think it was obvious that the designer aimed for a replacement for "i". But it's just executed poorly. It doesn't have the same size, shape or letter spacing. It just feels like the space ship is too big so that the "i" is covered.
I also wonder that Sony actually approved that.
Well, I'll pass then.

Any other country releasing just the Steelbook?

[Noodles]

I'm out then... the title looks really odd without the 'I', and even the position of the text looks all wrong to me. I'd rather they just removed the title on the front completely to be honest. Plus I'm not even a big fan of the steelbook art either, so I'll just settle for Zavvi's version, which hopefully stays with the current artwork being shown.

 

[themanfromunkle]

re-ordered the zavvi steel, until they say it's WWA

 

[ethnosax]

Oh, man. Somehow, learning that there was a designer who actually made the decision that the spaceship will be a big "I" makes the whole product really uncool. It's one of those "Did you even see this movie?" moments. If the lenti magnet is as meh as the rest of this package, then I'll just go with the Zavvi, which I've thought from the beginning is the much more stylish design. Someone could create a very nice premium set based around that steelbook (and I hope they do).

 

[IRON MAN]

I hope Manta Lab or HDZeta gives this movie a premium treatment.

 

[Norwichlad]

That front title looks debossed, so will look even more weird without the i. Prefer if they removed it

 

[ethnosax]

Maybe they could add the pieces of the I on the ground, under the ship? As if it just landed really fast and smashed through the title?

(This cover is starting to feel like a Monty Python cartoon...)

 

[Radagast]

I don't care about the missing "i". I like the design so i am in.

 

[urbeenjammin]

Come on HDzeta with the 300 print run.

 

[urbeenjammin]

If they want to keep the design, then simply improve the proportions of the spaceship by decreasing the size to signify the "I" properly which would also help the spacing between the letters.
