Should Shameless use the below classic artwork on one of their panels for the upcoming Four Flies On Grey Velvet release?

It would be a travesty if they didn't.

I agree Dem.
Even although it's been used on the MYA DVD and the German Hardbox,it's never actually been shown with it's ITALIAN title......;)

Yes! But tbh I don't mind what artwork is used as long as it's not another photoshop abomination.

No reason not to go with the original artwork.

What are the other options? Are we getting four panels? I need to see the options before I can vote ;)

Nope, only two panels with Shameless releases. Because of that, I'd lke to see two original posters used, instead of using new art on one of the panels.

Thing is, newer, photoshopped artwork is sometimes necessary to get customers with more mainstream tastes buying.

I'd prefer to see two original pieces too ;)

If it aint broke, don't fix it I say. Don't know how many times I've avoided a release because of a new, improved, joe public appealing cover. I despise them. Even tinkering with original artwork is a no-no. (Universal darkening the cover and changing the shark on JAWS. MGM with their photoshopped head on the To Live And Die In L.A. dvd and BD).

Okay,can one of the talented people mock me up a Shameless cover using the mask artwork and Italian title?:)

Funny you should use MGM as an example because it's probably responsible for kick-starting the use of bland-looking covers in the mid-1990s with the James Bond films.

Another choice?

I personally fell in love with the American poster with the knife pointing to the eye when i first saw it. :eek: maybe do something with that to make it look a tad modern for the "Mainstream" audience. (God i feel like a hipster calling the public "mainstream") :tsk:

Stephen@Cult Labs

Perhaps the mask artwork on one side, and the American artwork on the other.

Believe it or not, but i would choose this cover over the 'Mask' artwork anytime. The latter vintage image does nothing for me i'm afraid.:)

Is the first image a woman escaping from a tomato?

I've never seen this film but will defo but it with either cover.

The original artwork is a classic masterpiece, so why not use it?

Any decisions on the artwork yet? :)

Not yet but, as soon as there is a decision, this will be the place to find out!

The best 4 Flies artwork (by far, IMO) is the American poster with the eyeball and the blade on a blue background.
