I like it! but don't forget the accent on Léon. does anybody know what the thing-a-ma-jig inside the O is?

*the director's cut would seal the deal*

I believe it is a silhouette of Leon...

Good artwork front and back, but I'd prefer:

Debossed title only, like Starship Troopers. Would be a nice changup from the 70 million embossed steels coming out of Zavvi.

Full gloss finish instead of spot gloss on glasses. The full gloss on the remainder of the front picture will 1) make the black perimeter area much more rich looking and 2) bring out the vibrant colors of the central image.

I think these 2 changes would make for a more desirable steelbook.

I like this and hope to see both cuts of the film when it comes out as it's one of my all time favourite films

 

[hayemaker]

But there was no mention about full glossy finish, only partially. Title of the movie is Leon the professional so i dont understand complains about title

Leon: The Professional is the US title and just sounds stupid in fairness. The spine is an eyesore.

 

[ABjerg]

I think it's boring.

 

[SteelReaper]

Shouldve been full gloss and it been a contender for best steelbk rls of the yr

 

[mactaylor]

Much prefer this be called Leon and that's it. Don't like the artwork at all. Why can't we have a bit more originality. Something dark, shadowy even but not that. Maybe cartoonish but in a classy way ala RED cover on jb hifi slip. Just a thought.

candidate #3 is my favorite

 

[zebra12]

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed, too. I could swear I read something like 'HDN chooses art and steelbook treatment'. Now we have only one artwork and the treatment seems to be decided already. What happened did Kimchi change their mind?

And also I know a lot of people said they would prefer that front artwork of 'candidate #1' and the back of 'candidate #2' etc., I know both are great images, but all in all as a steelbook they don't go well with each other.

Now that I've seen all the candidates from Kimchi and if this is going to be the actual steelbook I must admit: I would've liked sete's attempt more. Don't know where the mockups are but I remember one with a golden Leon on the front and the silhouette of his plant on the back and I thought 'Wow, this is pretty good, but let's wait what Kimchi can bring us'. But what I saw from Kimchi didn't blow me away, sete's work almost looks more professional to me. Just my opinion. Would be great if we could get a real poll with some complete steelbook designs to choose from, including some mockups from our members. Is that too much to dream of?

I like 1 then 2, but lose that emboss guide line, I am so sick of the picture frame on steelbooks. It does nothing but bend the artwork??

 

[Azrael]

I quite like the spot gloss. But would prefer a debossed title (so no border). Overall fairly ordinary.

+1 100%

A nice gloss finish to bring up the colours like say Play.com Collateral

not "the professional" please !

 

[morfeusz]

Wow. This thread is 2 months up running and now we have a problems with front, back, , title, embossed, debossed , gloss finish, border . Thats way zavvi dont even bothered ask as about artwork. Im more than happy if i add a proper Leon the professional to my collection

 

[satanclaus]

I still maintain that Mathilda should be part of the inner art, hidden under a disc, so each time you pop the disc, it's like she's popped out and aiming at you. I'll no doubt pick it up either way because I love the film, but I think it could be much better.

 

[Afterdeep]

I chose "I like it" option but in my opinion for front cover black and white artwork may be better. It seems a lot classy like that, that's how I see it.

Below pictures are the DVD steelbook that is exclusively released in Turkey by a local company. Its really high quality. I love front and interior artwork but I can't say the same thing for the rear cover art

PS: I will be buying it anyways because its Kimchi release! Thanks a lot Choi and Kimchi for all the great efforts...

very true. when the dust settles, this should be kept in mind.

let us not discourage exclusive retailers like Kimchi who are doing their best to produce proper releases for this community.

we are a tricky and finicky bunch. putting our opinion is always nice and appreciated and I don't want Kimchi to stop asking, but even as is, I would buy that steelbook.

Hyper boring and predictible.. And 'the professional" is a big No No for a movie whose original titel is just Leon! So I'll guess I will pass on this although I was really looking forward to it
