Wow. I like the astronaut (even though I have a strong suspicion it’s stolen) but everything else is so bad. Is that the new Death Star Starkiller thingy from the new Star Wars?
I guess that’s a mic, but it sure looks like the astronaut guy has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. How cool/noir would that be! They didn’t go that far even in Space Station 76.
You know…I’m probably gonna be the lone wolf on this one, but…I kinda like it. Assuming, of course, that the campy, bad-1950’s space-movie vibe is deliberate. The fonts are absolutely channeling that Saturday matinee/drive-in movie feeling. I’m not wild about the DeathSt*r ripoff, but otherwise…c’mon kids. You know we’ve seen a boatload worse.
Yeah, the idea behind it isn’t bad, it’s the execution that’s lacking. Personally I think both fonts are horrible, but that’s easily fixed. Change the font, take out the badly cut-out DeathStarThingy, possibly those pasted-on rockets, and you have a pretty decent cover with a certain old space opera feel to it. I really like the astronaut and the placement of him (her?) and the other elements. Even that nebula looks kinda nice. But the fonts and the Deathstarkiller are killing it.
