Honest commentaries
1st cover : Really good cover. The planet is very realistic and the text behind is easy to read (unlike others) because he added a drop shadow to it. you can see he put a lot of details, like all the copyright writings behind, if it had, like all the other Halo cover, the masterchief in the front, it could be the real Halo 3 Cover.
2nd cover : The Masterchief doesn't fit in the front, the lighting on his armor is not the same as the scene, I like the design from the back with the curved line. This guy forgot to put the MS game studios logo in the front, the logos in the back and also the rounded rectangles written things like "Players 1-4" and "Memory Unit" are different for the Xbox 360 covers. The original cover scan could have a better quality.
3rd cover : If the creator of this cover made the masterchief in the cover, I say he's an ARTIST! If he took that from a magazine frontpage or something like that, this cover is not that good because the text behind (I speak french) has a lot of grammar mistakes and talks about things like the cinematics that the average consumer doesn't care about. He also forgot the "LIVE" logo on the front cover. And where the hell did he take the "3" from?
4th cover : WTF?? This isn't the chief! It's a monster robot! At least he took his time to make it instead of putting the same Masterchief looking up picture that a lot of people put. The 3 in the logo is not the official, it's the one from the unoficial Halo font. The MC image in the back has a bad quality, the text is incoherent, and there is no logo and text execpt Halo 3 and the description, no ESRB rating , no nothing.
I think that the only believable one would be the first one, it's the only one with no mistakes and with a lot of details. Sorry if I complained a lot , but if anybody wants to do a cover, I just dont want you to do the same mistakes.
I also made a cover for that contest LINK
I agree. I like the first design. I like the one with it actually spelled out "Halo 3."
I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but on the back of the winning cover, "Frank" spelled Covenant wrong... "Convenant" Oh well...
And g1g010, I like you design it's pretty good looking... I sent in a design, but I didn't take the time to do a back cover, or all of that official stuff...
