Swiftech to release Full Cover for Radeon HD6970

[Philwong]

My suggestion. Carbon graphite sticker covering the entire block with strictly Swiftech-related details only.

I personally feel the Swiftech brand should be more prominent than the delrin engraving.

EDIT: Latest Stealth edition.

Something like this?
V1
I'm not quite sold on it but, meh, its a start.

EDIT:
I think this looks better
V2

Anyways, I tried to incorporate the grid pattern that Swiftech tends to use on some of your boxes.

V3?

I like it, can you send me the original layered photoshop file? 600 dpi please.

Note : My server cannot accept files more the 10Mb.

If necessary Please compress the file with winrar in multiple 5Mb archives.

No time to wait for your file, so I reproduced your design as best I could. Don't worry about the prize, it is yours if this design gets the

Pattern gave me a hard time hehe
and I couldn't find the HD6970 font..so I used the best possible replacement; but I do prefer yours. If you have time, give me the font name, I'd rather use yours.

One thing I have been thinking of introducing in the graphics is the chameleon concept. This cooling solution has similar characteristics to this animal in terms of adaptability. Don't ask me for details, I can't reveal any.

Here are the two graphics, with the lizard, and without..

Haha sorry Gabe, these Australian time zones make things tricky.
Looking good so far.

This is def my taste, smooth, classy without flashy. I would move the Swiftech logo just above the model fonts though. Great look Phil.

Disclosure: I don't have a 6970 and won't be buying this block

[Philwong]

Thanks. I'm glad that you folks like my design.

Gabe why not go with the Komodo Dragon instead of the chameleon.
Plus it'll be a nice way to carry on your brand.

[SpuTnicK]

Gabe, maybe you should think of a different color selection for that chameleon? maybe 2-3color scheme. (for example black/white/grey).
Seriously, that green looks ugly on that red background. (also reminds me of nvidia chameleon )

[dengyong]

No sticker at all with your logo cut into the POM would probably appeal to a larger market.

Add a no sticker option to your poll and it will quickly overtake the others.

[Bodkin]

Dosnt this fit both the 6950 and the 6970? If so should you not leave the card number off?

[zalbard]

Sell the blocks without stickers. Sell stickers @ 2-5 euro each, for those interested. Make a few ones.

22 vs 1 for no lizard - Good bye Lizard.

@philwong: I cannot change the shape of the sticker, the cutting die is already made. I can only change the graphics. Not crazy about the carbon pattern. I do agree with keeping the naming convention; I cannot add our logo to the sticker, production is already going on the housings, that would be a duplicate.

@ no sticker advocates: sorry, you can always remove it if you don't like it, but we are already committed on the use of the sticker.

In general: I liked Pado's grouping of the model with the AMD logo. I thought you guys liked the red matrix background; but I am not feeling and overwhelming support for it here.

Consensus seems to go towards maximum simplicity.


Back to drawing board.
