Lovely, but isn't two decorative fonts side by side like that a basic graphic design no-no?

I wouldn't necessarily call the top font "decorative."

Decorative, stylized, etc. A minor quibble, though.

Yes. I made the same point when the cover image first showed up. I guess I can live with it, though.

Just put black electrical tape over the text on the cover

Should have used Comic Sans

Mm, tweed.

Only for the unimaginative...

Those graphic design no-nos are so 20th Century...

That "Josef...." picture is a tease. [-X If you already have the product in "your" hands, why does it take another month to get them to retailers? Don't take my ramblings to seriously...... i just want to complain about something. The set does look very nice..... if only the font....... But i can already see in the future a set in my hands, looking lovely.

so everyone who works there gets a copy of everything they put out? is that one of the perks? I'd take that in lieu of health insurance if they gave me a job!

I'm glad that picture was posted. I was thinking for a while that a proper boxset of silent Sternberg's might have been something I just dreamt.

I really love the spine of the set...it's perfect. And for some reason the two fonts work perfectly - the exact opposite of my reaction to the boring Paths of Glory gradient treatment. It's all very pretty and I want it. now.

Ha! Just noticed the relation between the spine and Sternberg's coat.

I might have preferred a mustache motif, but the coat will do.

Criterion's first upskirt video confirms digipaks for the Sternberg set.

I had a horrible feeling for a moment there that the video was going to continue in the style of that Playstation 3 smashing stunt, as in front of sobbing Sternberg fans across the internet lighter fluid and a hammer gets produced and the lovingly assembled boxset gets methodically taken apart.

But I can't go for that. No can do

Oates=grain?

blatant ripoff, Clearly. [-X
Hall and Oates should sue.

I went from really liking the SotG cover to not liking it in about .5 second.

Could be and could not be.

Who knows? Are you familiar with the Seinfeld episode where Elaine, inadvertently steals a "Ziggy"? Maybe it went down like that? Intriguing, none the less.

Maybe Skillman has Hall & Oates bed sheets.
