Cover song contest COVER ARTWORK: You choose!!

[CLARET]

Hello everyone!

As you may have read in this forum, we -- the members-- started a Nightingale cover song contest.

This went to be a real CD we needed a cover artwork for. Another contest was startet - a cover artwork contest.

And now we have 14 entries!! FOURTEEN!! This is much, never thought this would be so great.

Here are the entries, in order of "release in the forum":

And here comes a little overview for our 56k modem users (in the same order):

Because it is so damn hard to pick only one, you have multiple choice! Check out the numbers on the lower right of the thumbs, if you wanna see the "big" version of a single pic, use the links above. And then you go to the poll above and CHOOSE!

This poll is only about the artwork, not about the font or the text of the cover. That can be changed (I guess) for every entry as we want it. But this is the second step. First is: to find the best cover! So everyone take part and gimme your votes!!

The one that counts most is our cover artwork!

So long

I have a 56k modem. Guess I won't be voting. Hahaha. It'd be cool to have a page with thumbnails.

How many cover SONGS did we end up with? Not too many I don't think, though most were pretty good.

 

[Skaldir]

I had to vote for 5 of them.

 

[CLARET]

I had one more! A hard challenge!!

 

[benny]

I narrowed it down to three somehow.

 

[Demonspell]

I had to go with the professionals (Matt, Mattias, and the Deadhouse webmaster.)

 

[noren]

Haha.. I would get very dissapointed if I got any votes since it was not a serious contribution from my side

... ColdDarkNord!

Congratulations!
At this moment I think we can stop voting because the results are more than just clear!!

We had 54 votes at all.
And here's our Top 3:

First Place: ColdDarkNord; 19 votes (35,19% of all) with http://www.mmz.ru/deadhouse/cover_contest_cover_try.html

Second Place: MattCira; 7 votes (12,96% of all) with http://www.lucidnoir.com/nightingale/covercontest01.jpg

Third Place: Hey!! It's me!! CLARET (Yippie!); 6 votes (11,11% of all) with http://www.gothic-rock.de/Nightingale2.jpg

So as we know how the Cover will look like we should think about the Text... will it be called "Nightingale Cover Song Contest" or "The Cover Chronicles" or "666 - Heavy Metal Covers" (ehm)... well and what sort of Font shall we use? The original Nightingale font? Which one is it, anyway?

I suggest that I do the booklet stuff together with Unicorn, cause he's mastering the CD and we hang around together often.

Is there anyone who can make quality copies of the booklet for low cost??

So long

[Skaldir]

I think we should call it "The cover chronicles" and not use the official font, because it's not an official release.
Nico, I think we have to care about copying the cover, because I must send it to all the people who took part. But if anyone has a laser-color-printer at home he can print some.

The cover chronicles vol 1.
Sound nice for me, original and close to NG theme.
