I think that's why he is complaining

All lithos have names/brands on them but giclees and screenprints don't

Although I can see why as giclees/screenprints are almost a purer form or art

Of course that's just my opinion

Traditionally, the giclees and screenprints are more art-piece-that-happens-to-be-game-related than game-collectible, and so we print just the art. Laying the logo over the art would be tough, so we'd have to give it an even bigger border and print the logo there, which hasn't seemed very appealing when we've looked at it. Would a lot of you prefer to have the logo on everything, instead of just the lithos?

I'm curious why the edition size changing bothers you. I know why it bothers me, but we have never and would never raise an edition size, so as a collector it would seem to only be in your benefit if the number goes down some....

lol no worries

I only noticed because I read way way too much into what people say

The original MS DRM policy announcement drove me nuts for hours trying to figure out what they were saying lol

no logo's please. Makes it look like a cheap poster instead of art.

What one might do is to press the logo into the paper.

Not too big though.

I do not want the name/logo all of them but would like it ones where it works with the image. In general I do not like lithographs, they are cheap reproductions and I do not see them ever going up on my wall. I have still bought a lot of them from the treehouse, but they are all sitting storage. Giclees are at least better quality reproductions and screen prints are more unique and a art form themselves.

Lithograph/giclee/screen printing are all methods of transferring the image. I would like some of the "game-collectible" pieces to be of better quality and would even pay more. Just please come out with some nice screen prints (with metallic inks!) that are actually recognizable as being associated with the game.

Also, as a collector I am actually happy the edition sizes keep getting reduced I just find it little humorous.

You didn't like the Liara one? It was so great... or perhaps not.
