I think I'd go for something a little more out there:
Love it! Drive certainly deserves a place in the Criterion collection.

That is too visually jarring in my opinion. Sorry, no offense intended.

So after doing a little research it seems like that is actually the Blu-ray cover they are going with. Which is truly terrible. Upon learning this I decided that I would have to make one that I could print and insert into my copy.
Obviously it is still a work in progress. I will upload a final print ready version once I am done in case anybody else wants it as well.
That blu-ray cover is based on the following poster. But judging by the fake blood, fake scorpion logo the blu-ray cover appears to be fan-made. But apparently it is not :eek.
But I prefer this UK Quad Poster design
EDIT:
Just found that HMV in UK is releasing a steel case version, but they added fake sunglasses to the above poster.
Drive: Hmv Exclusive: Steelbook (2012): BLU-RAY: hmv.com
The regular UK DVD and blu-ray covers are probably better off, expect for the review stars and rating logos.
Drive [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Christina Hendricks, Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman, Bryan Cranston, Nicolas Winding Refn: Film & TV
Drive [Blu-ray]: Amazon.co.uk: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Christina Hendricks, Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman, Bryan Cranston, Nicolas Winding Refn: Film & TV

The director said there will be a better blu-ray edition with more special features in the near future.

still not a word from steady. can i throw a tantrum yet?
I say yes, they said they were shipping in order received, didn't do that. Then they said they would be done by the end of last week, didn't do that. This little company is in way over their heads.

i concur. if the jacket finally does come, i'm still going to feel relatively dissatisfied by how frustrating this entire ordeal has been. :/

No word from Steady for me either. I just sent Katie at Steady an email regarding my order though. Hopefully she will come through with some information. It's been too damn long.

Yeah it's been an annoying experience overall. I live in California though so...don't know why it hasn't come yet. I heard that they were shipping big sizes first, then small sizes?

Anyone else notice what the tag on the inside of the jacket says?

Hi guys and gals! I had to join the forum fianlly after waiting for the Drive jacket for months now. I have to say that I am dissapointed by the pics of the jacket from members here. Although it does look decent, and I usually reserve my judgements until i can see it with my own eyes; I cant believe they got so many details wrong when they had an actual jacket from the movie.
The button closure on the neck strap that they added feels like an arrogant move to me, like they took over the design of the jacket (although it was practical).
I also think the quilting looks off. It should be more flexible and less apparent. You can see when the jacket is on Ryan Gosling that it stretches when he puts his hands in the pockets and it almost becomes smooth as if the quilting was less fixed in place. Unless of course that this look comes from pre distressing like they did with all the movie props.
I just want a jacket that looks almost as great as it was in the movie so it looks like Indy might have another customer. Can't wait for pics! A version in black also sounds cool.
I will still wait to see when I do recieve steady's... if it ever comes.
ps. I really hope that is not the cover art for the blu ray.

It says "shut your mouth or I'll kick your teeth down your throat and shut it for you!"
Just thought it was a cool find.

Untrue. They messed up produstion big time! They still haven't send out confirmation #s for the 1st run M-XS sizes. Somebody in their office told a friend of mine today that they still don't have size S - what does that mean?
I can't help the idea that producing the jackets in the US was also a lie. This sounds too much like crappy chinese production line.

I meant that it was originally supposed to be ready to ship around this week (I believe the second run date was December 16?). Of course, it seems highly unlikely that everything will run smoothly now since the first run is still having problems with it's shipment.

i agree. there is no way in HELL the second run is going out until late january, and that's me speaking graciously. i emailed them and they were still ambiguous and didn't give me a date for when the xs will ship out. that "some went out, and some haven't yet." which i think is a load of crock.
