I am a sucker for things to be organized, that is why I made my own dvd covers, you can see the thread here, I do love the look of the new packs, but I also don't want to all of a sudden have a different look of my current packs mid collection. So I am going to have to be a little more creative and keep to the old design myself. How do you guys feel about it? Are you going to use the new design or keep to the old one?Here is the ones I already made, I even made my own expansion ones so that the sides could match up.https://i.imgur.com/Xdmm7PY.png

I am still not sure which I prefer. While the old ones are what we know and love, the new ones look more interesting as they are less plain, though the new plumbing I am not convinced about. I remember you making the DVD covers and always thought it was amazing. I'm sure with your creativity you will be able to continue making them in the same format to have them all the same.

The new designs look really heavy, and there isn't anything wrong with that but they just look HEAVY. I kind of wish they had chosen more of a color change between Expansion Packs and Game backs because I don't see much of a difference in color and I would argue that they are harder to tell apart, if I was a kid or a new customer I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two pack types. And they straight up said the redesign was supposed to make it easier to differentiate the two packs. I find it hard to believe it was hard to tell the difference between packs before? To me, it seems like they are straight up lying in that regard.

I love the new ones. I've always hated white everything, and in the new covers I think everything stands out more.

I think teal for an expansion colour and blue for game packs is a mistake cause they're to similar. That's my only issue with it really and even then it barely bothers me. I don't really care how the games come packaged.

I like both. I think like the new ones a bit more but not the blue loading screen. Either way I am not really worried about the changes or what cover art looks like

think you could do a side by side comparison when the new look releases?

Thanks all for you input. I do like the new look, just don't want my collection to look different mid collection, and really don't want to redo all of them again. I would have liked if they kept the expansions at different colours though. Like many of you mentioned the teal and blue is too similar, I liked that each one had its own colour.
