Koch Vision is releasing a complete series set of the ITC classic The Baron in March 2009. TV Shows on DVD posted the sleeve art earlier today. Koch could not have done a worse job had they been deliberately trying. The cover makes New Video’s rush jobs on A&E’s DVD sets look professional by comparison. The typefaces do not compliment one another. The angle of the word “THE” is not parallel to the word “BARON”. The shadow on Steve Forrest is not physically possible. The collage is horrible and conveys nothing of the show, because the concept is wrong (this is an ITC adventure series from the 1960s, not a pulp novel on film).
We bought the Network edition for my birthday last year and enjoyed every episode. Beautiful cover, correct logo, the right typeface and colour scheme and Sue Lloyd.
