Criterion designer extraordinaire Eric Skillman used a distinctive drawing style of his own devising for our release of Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz (and blogged about it here and here). Sitting across from him in a meeting the other day, we noticed that his phone bears an image from The Steel Helmet that he’s given the same treatment—he had his file made into this skin here. If only he’d start a sideline in making these (he won’t); our mouths are watering at the possibilities.

That is so awesome. If Criterion developed a line of iPhone cases, I would buy one for every day of the week.

I could easily imagine a ‘golden helmet’ with the beautiful Simone Signoret.

If there was at least one of these with the “Alexanderplatz” Franz B. drawing, I would probably buy not only it, but an iPhone to put it on.

He should make&design a line of these, I’m sure a lot of people would be interested.
