Listen guys and gals, we've been whining for about 5 pages now. How about we take this on the road. Everyone comes over, and we'll grab some pitchforks out of my pitchfork shed.

Is it just me, or does Craig look really weird in the Skyfall posters? His face looks really small.

That paleness, is that an effect added by fans or the actual look???

This is the way it should have been (sorry it looks so small and crap, but this is a rough idea of how the poster could have been improved).

I'm not saying it's the best recent Bond poster, that one goes in a big way to the CR teaser but it's not the pile of crap that alot of you are saying it is. I like this pose by Craig much better than the lying down one or the individual banner one. Yes, the teaser may be a tad better but you have to admit, it does scream Bond! Now does it scream photoshop as well? Yes, but unfortunately most movie posters scream photoshop.

Yes! That's the sort of thing i was expecting. More emphasis on the union jack, Bond looking more comfortable and the gun barrel.

I don't seem to mind the Quad version so much, must be cause you can see the full gun barrel. Thanks Marketto.

I'm wondering WHY hasn't EON paid me to do the poster? I'd only asked for some thousand bucks and Press kits ;)

Thanks for the support both of you!

Another thing that's bugged me with all of this is their need to airbrush Daniel Craig. They didn't in the teaser poster and sure he didn't look as "pretty", but it looked much better. Here it seems like Daniel was busy so they had to photograph a Madame Tussauds sculpture. Not sure what the thinking was in all that.

Wait...is this official or copyrighted under your name because you made it? Either way, I like it. Bond looks less ill, his tux is darker, and the layout is way smarter.

Nope, just kidding. :D

It's a Fan Art I've just made, using this YET exclusive photo of Craig from Skyfall. ;-)

Outside of the teaser poster, I've found the poster campaign for Skyfall to be quite lazy. It's like whoever was in charge walked into the designer's office and said, "Hey, I need you to throw together a Bond poster for me, but we need it done in half an hour. Just get one of the stock photos from the shoot and throw a gunbarrel or 007 logo behind it."


This.


I second this.


Cosigned and thirded.

I didn't expect Sony to reincarnate Bob Peak to illustrate this poster but this is weak. The CR posters (especially the teaser) encapsulated the mood of the film. The QOS posters were lackluster but this last one for Skyfall is tired IMHO. Sony could've held a fan contest for the poster or hired someone off O-Desk and come up with something more distinct. It simply doesn't live up to the visuals that we've seen throughout the production and post-production process.

I hope this doesn't make the Blu-Ray cover.

Both of you did embarrassingly greater work than the official designers. The poster campaign just reeks of desperation, pleading for fans to remember that "This is JAMES BOND! You remember him, don't you? Sure you do! Just look at this Bondian™ pose with the classic gunbarrel! And LOOK back there at that London skyline! Remember? Bond's English! Right-o!!"

(Yes, I really do get that from those posters.)

Well, the problem is: the posters are not pleading for fans to remember that. But for the mass audience.

But where is that Craig picture from Marcos? From another official pic we haven´t seen yet?
Oh, nevermind, got it: Studio Cine Livé - FRANCE (September 2012), right? ;) Good job on those posters!
