Found through Spillstorie.

It will be available on https://psytronik.bigcartel.com/, the coming soon entries already up in the catalogue.

Also going by the description of this edition specifically, it sounds as if users will be able to buy just the digital contents, instead of having to get a physical edition for those.

First time hearing "cribbing". Merriam-Webster's Thessaurus says it's the act of copying an idea, writing, etc., from someone else. :V

Also, I got the impression this is a style a lot of people used in the 80's. Maybe I got this perception wrong?

Cribbing has a less negative connotation than that definition implies. Back in grade school in the eighties, you would crib your friends notes from a class you missed or something. Closer to sharing information. I guess you could crib from a friend for an essay, but the implication would be that although your essay might share the same information, you would not literally copy theirs word for word, that would be plagiarism and risk getting your friend in trouble.

In this context. I would read it as taking inspiration from, or in the style of. It's not like you are trying to cheat Psygnosis out of sales by selling knock-off games. Rather you are creating a retro style logo in the style of a much beloved eighties icon.

To put it another way, it's an homage.

Ooooooooooh

Thanks for the explanation! Indeed paints the original post different.

Pretty sure they did it from a source of love. 😉

The chrome coloring was fairly common in the late '70s/early '80s, but the Psygnosis font was pretty unique.
