I\'m pleased to announce that i shall be displaying the Cmon logo and url on the back. :beer:

Right okay, any more suggested changes?

FLAG icon/image

Hi there, I am still new to the CMON and the forums, and I not saying that you have the UK flag wrong, as I can\'t see clearly enough. but I just wanted to ask if the Flag is laid out correctly - if so EXCELLENT always good to see the colours.. but if not better to catch it now before you print the packaging...

please dont take offence..

I came across this site
http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/union-jack/union-jack.html.. its not official but might help.. best place to check would be with the government websites or the printer may have already checked and the flag is perfect.....

yours
Tarrek

Thanks Tarreknoire and welcome to the cmon forums ;)

I\'m long past taking offence to what people say ;)

About the flag: mighty keen eyes you have got and i didn\'t think that it would have to be so accurate but now you have got me thinking :( Anyone else think i need to change the flag?

The flag would be worth changing if you want it to be totally correct. Accurate PDF version here if you want it.

@Einion. Your such a handy dude to have around ;)

Okay. Flag has been changed and i have also included a shaded box for the smaller text. I think this makes is easier to read although it does detract from the actual game info.
I have also repositioned the copyright text. Overall i think it looks a lot neater and presentable. What do you think? yay or nay

It still says \"All righters reserved\" rather than \"All rights reserved\". Are the various titles listed Copyright & Trademarked? I\'ve seen stuff before that uses the word pending when still waiting for paperwork to go through. I assume that you will have a solicitor check over this for you before going into production. I think there are a couple more grammatical errors in there but am not confident enough to correct them. Can\'t imaginer a proofreader would cost too much for this little text though.

I don\'t want to sound mean but the front artwork looks like something from a 1990\'s small press \"Bad Girl\" comic, not at all to my taste. I\'d at least get it professionally inked, at the moment it looks too much like concept art rather than a final version ready for print (frankly the anatomical detail on the minis you\'ve shown is far superior to that woman in the picture who\'s \"clothing\" seems to bear little relation to either physics or comfort). In fact I think a ligne-claire style tracing of a photo of one of the minis would probably look superior.

I wouldn\'t have bothered commenting if I didn\'t like the look of your product & admire the effort you\'re putting in though. Good luck with the venture, :beer: B.

@BPI Just when i thought everything was getting there. you have given me enough to think about before going to the printers. I\'ll ponder over it.

@Rev sorry i can\'t help you out. Shouldn\'t you be doing some work at work? :p

Anyone else have anything to bring to the table?

Hi dude they\'re looking sweet, not much help with the design I\'m afraid but I\'ll be buying some of them off you :D

I would possibly suggest making the chevrons slightly more subtle but thats just me.

Hi there,

I prefer text justified to the centre, gives the reader a natural read down, also keeps the focus of the eye down the middle

ps nice update on flag ;-)

All righters reserved... should have spotted that! Although to be fair I didn\'t read down that far LOL Still looks like a double space between the and same in \"the same path\" although it could be the software doing stupid things with kerning.

Look at the ragged edges - justification would either have wide word spaces on some lines or force hyphenation to prevent it, neither of which is desirable in a small amount of text.

Although the decision is basically a matter of taste more than anything centred is the way to go here IMO (I\'m a typesetter).

Right folks. Done a few changes to the back. Mainly the adding of the casting company and adding the \'may contain lead\' part. I didn\'t think that minis contained lead anymore but the caster uses 4% so i figured i better add that info. Also good news. The printers has agreed to do some short runs for me so changing the imagery at a later date is not a problem for me but for now I\'m going to use the current design. A printed out version looks brill :)

Anyway enough rambling and a huge thanks to that commented so far. I currently have around 20hrs until i go to the printers so if anyone has anything else to put forward then I\'ll be listening ;)

Lovely! Great looking miniatures too. If I just hadn\'t made this deal with myself not buying anything till I have 10% of my backlog left:(
Can\'t wait for some exciting new Dark Art M. stuff.

Good luck Klaus!
