Is this the official case design or mock up? I guess that should be made clear really.

It's not the final design, but I still like the poster. Be nice to have this one & another poster with the release case.

Actually, I think it's quite cool (IMHO)

It's a beautiful poster....but the flare is a bit "lets throw in a big flare here" looking

And i hope this is not the official case

I think djnick and birbo need to be very clear here,

it is not the entire case that looks horrible to us, it is the fact that this enormous X is there, reminding many users of X box themes, which ofcourse we dont want.

Also some of us users prefer smaller cases,

IMHO, minus the X, add a tick or boing ball, or anything,

although, I would still get an X 1000 even if it came out as the poster suggests.

Cheers

@ Hondo,

poster is indeed ok yes.

After my last comment, I had another look, and realise one could get used to the giant X on the side.

Should be other way around perhaps, having the boing ball on the side, and a small x with boing ball at the front.

Oh well, I am still awaiting to buy the x1000, so lets wait and see.

cheers

Ok, in short:

- too many "old fashion Candy-effects" - Glow, Dropshadow... It happens when somebody starts working with Photoshop and start liking all effects he can get in one click! Everybody passed this "stage" in designing work [if designer is older and more experienced, it happened, for example, 10 years ago]...
- too many different colors. X is OK in its size, but I will turn off glowing.

Think minimal. Think flat vector, without inner shadow, bevel, glow...

Take a look, for example, http://graphicriver.net/ - there is plenty of GOOD [and bad] designs...

as this is mockup obviously, so how about when x1000 is finally released and it is round?

There should be a 2010 date on it! :)
and a red and white boing ball!

@Birbo: agree, lensflares are so 90's.

I rather have a poster with a picture of the real thing.


though ... the text below the case mokup looks nice. So I would keep "Amiga One X1000 A New Amiga Generation" and get rid of the rest of the poster.

I took a look at the site and I agree with djnick.

Actually, thinking minimal seems to add a more professional effect.

But I do believe that a red&white boing ball should be there as a distinctive mark.

As far as X is concerned, if it stands for neXt should be fine. I don't like Xbox myself, but I think we shouldn't be worring of that.

cheers

Hey for this of poster there is one post but for the keyboard stickers no? why? I prefer the stickers that insted of one poster.

I would like the Amiga team photo as a Poster

Mousemats too..

The X1000 case would loook lovely in a shiny black (PS3) colour.
