I’ve seen a number of awesome pieces of artwork on here in the past, Bungie [i]truly [/i]has the best community!
I wanted to share some contributions of my own, I saw some minimalist artwork here on the forums somewhere (I apologise if it was designed by a member of the community, I can’t recall the source – I had a feeling it was Bungie itself) and I thought to myself, man I wish I could have that as the cover of a collector’s edition.
So I booted up Photoshop and started having a little play, mocking up a cover how I’d like to see it. The silvery/golden gradient is to indicate where the text could be debossed and printed as reflective). The idea with the back cover of the lighter variant is that the symbols would be sunken into the cardboard (debossed).
Constructive criticism welcome, I've done what I wanted to do, welcome to suggest improvements!
EDIT: To Jet's suggestion, made a darker alternative - though I might change the Destiny logo - Open to critique on this! :)
[b]Thank you for all the positive feedback and suggestions/ideas guys! It's been real fun seeing everyone's thoughts on the designs! Shame it didn't make it to the shelves ;). I hope to see you guys sporting the CE gear in the game! (despite the ridiculous prices!)[/b]

i agree the dark version looks awesome and it would be better if the white parts were made with glow in the dark print XD
-
The dark version is just amazing.
-
God, i want these at least made as sleeves for my game case.
-
-
-
I don't see why they wouldn't make a collector's edition..
-
That white version imprinted on a steel game case would look perfect.
-
I just love the stars on the black case.

Look on the French forums, they show each class on a PS4. I don't know if it is just a skin or SP. Ed.
-
The moonscaped tricorn on the back of the Dark Edition...Wow...just beautiful. The only problem that I would have is that I would have to buy both, they're so good!

-
Awesome thanks for posting
-
-
This is [spoiler]Awesome[/spoiler]
-
Absolutely beautiful work and clearly a tribute to the original Marathon.
-
Wow. I would love to see this implemented.
-
We know that cover will never happen to be an LE edition but daaaaamn, it looks awesome . Great work.
-
hey I wanted to know if there was going to be a limited edition and will the people who pre-ordered destiny be upgraded to LE(Limited Edition) because it happened when I had pre-ordered infamous second son? please anyone can respond im kinda in the dark here
-
Awesome work! I remember suggesting that they'd make this the cover art about a year ago when the wallpaper showed up. I guess we'll find out in a week what the real cover art will be.
-
Great, as if I wasn't already desperately awaiting word on a CE, James here has to go and come up with ideas that will make me want to by two different versions just for the covers. Thanks a lot James!
-
Mate, I effin love these. However you realise that Bungie can't use these nice designs now because they'll be seen as using fan work for an official product? D:
-
That should have been the design on the white PS4... But no, they decided to make it look like an old Xbox.. Meh.. Anyway that's awesome.
-
Absolutely love these mock ups. Looks like something that screams bungie. Especially the light one
-
This looks amazing and I would love to see Bungie incorporate this into the actual collector's case.

Edited by Jet: 7/2/2014 11:19:38 AMJust a suggestion, but you could try doing a black version addition to this one since I think that would add a bit more variety. Not too sure how hard it will be change to a black background but whilst doing so you could also invert the colour of the traveler (swap the colours around). I feel like a black background will give the case a bit more of a 'spacey' feel to it. Its looking good now but adding variety to an already well done piece of work never hurt.
