The official theatrical poster is again very painful to see!

Agreed. It looks like a first attempt at using Photoshop.

The colours aren't corrected, the logo is horrid, the layout is terrible and there are obvious photoshop artifacts.
Is it me or did they rip off the queen logo from the "Queen Complete Works" book?

It looks like an asian-bootleg DVD cover.

The Queen logo is from the Magic/Highlander period (check the single covers for Princes and WWTLF0)
It is a phenomenally bad poster. Someone has pointed out that the spotlight in the sky makes it look like War Of The Worlds.
No Freddie, No John.....No Queen
The people are all scared because big Freddie is going to eat them!
I don't know if it's the angle or the expression, but the image doesn't even look much like Freddie to me
I don t think also that the crowd is from That Evening !
It seems much more recent picture! Also in the QUEEN gig in 86, the field was not sold out..
Have anyone had a glance on the original Budapest cover from the VHS? That one is actually worse.
Basically blind em and deaf em in the first 10 minutes, and while they are recovering from that put in the less good songs

Ok, worse, but only slightly.
Not Plutus but Apollo rules Parnassus
I don't see the problem with it. It's a cinema poster to be put up in cinemas not a DVD cover. It's purpose is to attract attention from joe public, which I'm sure it will do.
So would goatse. I think we can hope for a poster that looks like it wasn't created using Photoshop 1996.
the great question, why only freddie on the poster???
Being himself a graphic designer, Freddie would hate all these crappy artworks and official posters.
A man who learnt how to teach, but forgot how to learn. A la grande le puse cuca!!

HAHAHA!! Freddie would love that Idea I'm sure!

And the original 'Live Magic' poster is by no means worse.. very 80s, but not worse.
