I vote for Nerdysimmer. The fronts are bothe excellent and I can't decide which but Nerdy's back is better laid out and more professional looking.

I vote thecodemaster. I agree with above comment regarding the layout, but I feel that nerdysimmer's boxart is less professional in other aspects: The font on the back in my opinion isn't what you'd find on the back of the box, and it runs over to the picture. Also, I don't feel that the blue glow effect works on the top part of his body (perhaps turn the opacity down a bit? Or use a slightly darker blue?). And, the "You know my name..." bit at the top is slightly difficult to read.

thecodemaster's is easy to read, but the pictures in the car thing is a bit strange for a boxart. The fronts of the boxes are both awesome, but I feel that nerdysimmer's back isn't quite as good.

Sorry if I tore your boxart back apart nerdysimmer, it's just my opinion.

[Ervo]

I vote for thecodemaster. The front is excellent and back is great too. I don't have anything bad to say about it :) Nerdy's box is cool too :)

[ELCrazy]

I vote for TCM as it is more reminiscent of the movie's more mysterious style.

I like both of them however I'm going give my vote to Thecodemaster. I don't think the ice theme suits Casino Royale but it's really lustrous and I like the way the screenshots kick in.

I vote for Thecodemaster.

]These are great boxes, however, i believe Thecodemaster's box gives a more mysterious feel, and is way more detailed.
props to both of you.

My vote goes to Thecodemaster

[xIAMHUNTERx]
