Do you remember when Tokyopop put their huge, ugly-ass logo on the spine of their books? Originally they had just a tiny watermark, but then they decided a large, red monstrosity was necessary on there. It was particularly egregious with series that began before this decision was made. For example, up to volume 18 of GTO we had the original design and the spine was uniform. Suddenly the top tenth is covered in red for the final six volumes. It stands out and is distracting.

I've been thinking about this a bit with bluray. Although not as bad as Tokyopop, why do they insist making the cases blue? Sometimes it doesn't fit the art. Like, if I have an orange cover, seeing this tiny blue stripe on the top and bottom just ruins everything. We get it. It's a bluray. You can stop now.
