Color of the Game


Red, Orange, Yellow....White, Black. What are the most frequent color you found on a game's box?

Most of the games now has a theme color. For example. RA by RK use a Yellow theme to give a Egyptian theme. Felix - the cat in the sack use a green theme, well, all of the FF game are green.
Is there a color that will attract people the most? and do the color of the box shows what is this game is about. Does a green game box means it is environmentally related?A Japanese Publisher - Oink Game is one of the publisher use "Flat Design" in all of its game series. I love their work and how they use simple colors and shapes in every game they released so far.

Many games don't even have a theme color. There are so many colors and makes the whole box looks luxury if it success, a mess if it fails. Are the games unlike CD or mobile phones, where the box does not need to stand out when look at a distance?

I am not very good in drawing when I was young (still not yet professional till now). so I tend to use very simple shapes and symbols when doing artwork for the games. There is a new game coming up from TF which I think it can probably sells really well especially in Asia. I can't give away anymore info then telling you this is a party game. I will release a bit more when the game is ready to roll out from the printers.


Fingers crossed on this, I hope this can be done sometime in the next season.
