Webmaster Errol Posted April 8, 2012 Webmaster Share Posted April 8, 2012 I say this with love, but I HATE the hand writing font usage on Digest's newest covers and I HATE "your #1 soap source" font as well. It makes the magazine look cheap and any beauty the cover used to represent is just gone because of it (even if the beauty is still in the picture use).

Webmaster Errol Posted April 8, 2012 Webmaster Share Posted April 8, 2012 Update: On second viewing, Soap Opera Digest's covers now look like a teen magazine geared to teen soap fans, in the vein of their sister magazine, Pixie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 These busy collages cheapen the look. Put one good primary photo on the cver, and maybe a few smaller icons for sub-stories. They really do not need as cluttered a cover anymore, especially since there are only 4 soaps on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 Sami looks like someone sewed her mouth shut. It looks like those ugly Weekly covers of the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted April 8, 2012 Members Share Posted April 8, 2012 The cover is too cluttered. I don't mind the handwriting font, but I agree it kind of makes the magazine look cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2012 I dont know who is in charge of the covers now bc IA, they are way too cluttered. Instead of picking 2 or 3 lead stories and running with it, this approach seems rather desperate by throwing as much as possible to grab reader's attentions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted April 19, 2012 Webmaster Share Posted April 19, 2012 Why is the Y&R name getting a normal font/design approach on covers, while DAYS is consistently getting that stupid script font similar to the annoying "Your #1 Soap Source"? It it tacky, stupid and ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 SOAPS BIGGEST ADDICTS over pictures of Jess Walton and Michael Damien is especially unfortunate for Jess who went to rehab in the early 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 I didnt know it. Now looking at that it makes it look like she fell off the wagon and thats why she is leaving the show. How tacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 19, 2012 Members Share Posted April 19, 2012 Exactly. It's pretty damn terrible. Half the people passing that cover in a supermarket would say "Jess Walton's an addict?! She's left Y&R for rehab!"....instead of actually reading the story of "Jess Walton moved to Oregon, months ago and wants to be a good grandma for the first 6 months of her grandchild's life, she'll be back at Y&R in the fall"...damn SOD.
