Proposal for new templates

Post by scopp »

Hi everyone,
since the client steam was released (in far 2004, if my memory serves me), his look is changed many times. It has gone from a gray-green to a dark gray, to adding a streak effect, which appears in its present.
The covers template made available for the realization of the yours "little masterpieces" are modeled on the appearance of the steam client.

Today I would like to propose a new version of these templates, whose appearance is similar to the graphical interface of modern steam client. Of course I do not presume to suggest to PieMonster to use my models on its website instead of his own, but I'd like to provide a possible future implementation if the administrator decide to change the templates.

If you have suggestions or proposals do them well :)

Hey @scopp, these look great however they need a little tweaking before we can call them "official". I'll email you next week when I get back in town and we can polish them up.

Great design.
There's just one thing I'd change and that's the steam logo on the spine. I think it would look better not being cut off.

But I'm not sure about using new designs at all. I like to have things using the same template so that they fit together and using this design would make the newer covers stand apart from the older ones. But I guess it's just my personal feeling and if you'd change the spine to make it look like the old one except for the colors it wouldn't even be that obvious while the cases stand in a shelf. So I guess that would be a perfect solution in my eyes :D

And I'd have to adapt the Uplay templates to the new design aswell. But I guess I could do that :D

Some small changes / improvements (now the steam logo in the slice is not cut and the ratios of the logo on the various facades of are the same)

I'm kind of "mixed" on this. I feel like it could use a little bit more work. For one thing I would suggest putting the uPlay logo on the front as well - Similar or different to @Kexikus' covers (your choice).
