Cover for Zombipocalypse and Title discussion

HinterWelt · **Posted:** Sun Mar 29, 2009 10:09 pm

So, at my playtest this week I ended up getting some folks who were less than enthused with the Zombipocalypse name. I am still not convinced but here is an alternate that might strike closer to the mood.

Infected: End of Days

Thoughts?

I like it (the tagline is a good idea:D )

I think it sounds right, only thing is was "End of days" a movie? can you use the phrase? and, does it sound too, dare I say it, 'religious'?

In many ways, I hear that phrase and I think, born again, the (dont know the proper name for it) time when the devout are taken up to heaven and such, revelations and suchlike

nothing wrong with that, just wanted to let you knw that is what it conjures up for me

Two thumbs up here. End of Days is a broad enough term that it shouldn't have any copy right problems with the movie as long as it is not based on the plot of the movie. End of Days is a term used by Christians, Muslims, Jews, and the Mayan to denote the end of time or the end of the world as we know it. Each belief system and its subfactions has its own unique view of the end - so for me, I don't immediately dial up the "Rapture."

Yeah, the religious thing was kind of making me wonder. I had not thought of it that way but I did have something nagging at me. It is just meant to be a factual statement. Linda did not like my other title which was "Wormword", a reference to the comet that would bring the Armageddon. She said it was either too religious or too Harry Potter.

Thanks guys, it is all a process.

Another version from suggestions....

Just for the text on the back, I'd make the last statement, "Hello? . . . Hello?" You already have used the phrase, "Can you hear me," twice. Third time is a little to much, for me. The double "Hello?" implies "Can you hear me?"

Bottom text: Liked the other font but would have liked it to be a little thinker. It visually seemed to thin for the weight of the words. Same would apply for the new font too. . .

Oh, and I liked "Wormwood"

thoroughly enjoy being able to voice my opinions (such as they are :lol:

) to be honest

Hmmm, the name does work, but I do have second thoughts about the religious overtones there, if there was another way of saying the same thing then I think you would have it down pat

'Infected' is a great title, short, sweet, snappy and does what it says on the tin, just shouts ZOMBIES!!!!!

I guess you jus tneed the proper tagline

Infected: End of the World

kind of says the same thing but without any religious overtones

Infected: (your) Days are Numbered

I will work on it.

It was meant to be a leading "It is a recording and if you follow it they are probably already dead" thing. Obviously it did not come through that way. I will see if I can work on it.

Thanks,
Bill
