    I just got the DVD cover forwarded from the Director.

    The distributors didn't use my design in the end, preferring to use their own.

    Thoughts?

    I like the cover, just wish it wasn't such a generic pic of Mike. I preferred the kinda look you went for on your design, the other side of Mike.

    Your one was MUCH better, that doesn't make it discernible from the hundreds of other Tyson DVD's IMO. Shame.

    If anything, it looks like a no frills version of the doc that was released last year to so much hype. A real missed oppurtunity that will fail to stand out IMO, I will still be buying it though because I know what it is.

    Cheers. I guess the distributors know what will appeal to the mass market.

    I have the HD film en route so I will try and get some clips online here first once Mike has okd it (he is in Mexico at the moment).

    Yeah, you're definitely right about that. I don't think it'll sell any less for it. This cover is the Tyson that the wider public are familiar with.

    And that would be brilliant. Hope he's fine with it. :good

    yeah like everyone else is saying your cover pic was way better than the one they went with by looking at the cover they went with it honestly just looks like your typical mike tyson dvd same **** as usual

    wat happened with the lighthearted mood ?

    The old cover was a lot better, seen the new image a million times and at least with the old one people might think they're getting something different.

    I'll go as far to say, I probably wouldn't buy it due to the fact it looks so cliche'd now.

    What a load of **** that design is. "Well, obviously we can't portray Tyson in a good and happy light, lets **** all over it with a generic Angry Tyson cover".

    Yeah but it's not even good. Even I could make a better Angry Tyson cover. It's just so dull, there's nothing to it. It's a slopped on picture with a bit of bad text on it.

    Yeah but some people bought Tyson the movie twice(after the special edition was released some months later). Who in their right mind is going to buy ANOTHER dvd with a similar cover, I think it will struggle.
