Blue is definitely more Shadowrun than any other option.
That said, the green one is **really** nice. I like it more than the blue one. Still for consistency, blue gets my vote. |

Red, because nothing in Shadowrun can look TOO ominous.

The green would make sense if it was further north. As it stands now it looks like the Aura Borealis, which doesn't seem to fit in with the lower latitudes of Seattle. The red one looks like sunrise or sunset. I just like the blue one myself as it doesn't seem as crowded and it is easier to pick out details. Funny how color changes can alter the way one notices objects.

QUOTE (Mardrax @ Feb 20 2011, 11:07 AM) The blue one just has a lot more atmosphere to it, for me. Beside arguments in favour of the blue, I like the red, but I think it's too much of an attention grabber I think. Especially if you'd actually want to use it like a GM screen is intended, and have it on the table, with players looking at the back. Any visual clutter that's not purposefully put there to increase immersion or provide a play aid, I like removed to minimal intrusion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) And no prob on being slow Jason, thanks for bringing it here ^^ Also, great to see the Toolkit progressing still. Any thoughts on a release date yet? I'm not allowed to talk about specific dates until we have a street date in hand, but what I can say is this flurry of activity is all about putting the final touches on so we can send it to print.

Well Jason, for the sake of the IP, I hope it does a lot better than what I'm hearing about War!
I also have to congratulate CGL for having the testicles/ovaries to put out a boxed set. Not many of those are released any more. |

Whichever color is chosen, I would suggest no logo on the art. The skyline is even better at setting the mood without the logo floating over the roofs of the buildings.

I seriously would like to buy all three colors if that where possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
And it´s really hard to decide which color, if only one is possible. Given that my fancy Seattle 2072 is red, I´d go with the blue one I guess - though I´d seriously like the green one even better! In any case, I´d have to agree with MJBurrage, the logo is a bit too much in the way. Maybe if you placed it in the lower right corner, just below the Arcology.. |

I would prefer the Green one, but if the Choice is only between red and Blue,than its the Blue one
