The Superbundle image/packaging looks fantastic. I was very surprised by the imaging. Very impressed. It has a cool retro feel to it, yet modern. Its a good representative of Genesi - not afraid to take chances and make a stand. Plus, its sort of tongue in cheek.
@Senex there is not way anyone would think it as a nazi type image. That never crossed my mind until you said it. BB was an american military guy you think anything remotely nazi like would make it onto genesi merchandise?

Very professional and fun packaging Genesi. I look forward to having it here on my desk and showing it at demoes! This is the kind of stuff we need... now if we only had cool packaging for MorphOS 1.4..

Oh. On a second look, I see what you mean. It does look Olympiad and resemble some of the master race propaganda. I'm sure all unintentionally of course. I mean it was a german artist and he was going retro look so... just because it looks like that doesnt have bad connotation. THat look was around in Germany before hitler.

Thats what ppl are missing ants - it is "tongue in cheek" for sure! And to Iggy - it does look very gay - but most Super Heroes look gay dont they? And yes, it looks Germanic and Olympiad like. Also retro 30/40s German art that does co incide with nazi propaganda art.. but that was the times... in no way does this feel nazi at all. I love the cover art and think its fun and not taking itself seriously. Genesi should be commended on it.
