That's an awesome design you've got there, my friend. I particularly like the fact that we are viewing it from the perspective of the cockpit looking outwards. The environment looms over the mech and it provides a definite sense of scale. Great job!

That's pretty cool however it evokes Armored Core for me at least. Which isn't entirely bad but might not be seen as original, if they actually went with it. But I'm over analyzing, nice job :)

How does this First Person view evokes Armored Core's cover art?
Please show me an AC game that has a cockpit view on the game box.

Yes I agree a little bit of color would make this look Like a best seller.

Green color for the vertical letters and orange for the horizontal ones, IMO.

Also with a color cockpit?

Just a quick mockup. A little too much orange, but w/e. I think the image would be better if the cockpit had a little color (somewhat desaturated) like this, would help distinguish it from the background. Otherwise it's just a black and white image with a couple filters on it.

Nice cover for the box art....


The only thing that bathers me to no end is the 360 logo. I don't want this game to be released for the consoles yet. Would be good to see the game on the 720 where the console is more capable.....:P

Damn I can't control myself...lol..

I like the colorless black and white cover the most. The addition of color attracts the eye differently and gives your cover a pretty bottom heavy feel, and gets rid of the original balance the black on white has.

* but you are right I'm thinkin', without the cockpit color it seems a little too flat, and not knowing what Hawken was, if you saw it on the shelf you might be confused lol.

Just a lowly graphic designer's opinion :P

That's a red bloodish color, mate. In some slightly light orange you could catch the attention of the viewer a bit more, IMO. :)

Never ceases to amaze me of what people are able to come up with. This forum is probably going to have some of the most creative people I've seen in a forum in a long time and I can't wait till it gets closer to launch.

Cool cover design but I have a really strong feeling there are going to use a 3rd person perspective for the Mecha if they put them on the cover. I think just having the cover all black with "HAWKN" on the front would look cool and would make people who don't know about it, pick it up since they would be wondering what it is and then they'd get hit with the info and more pics on the back. That is if it were ever produced "disc based".
