Thanks to KryptonSite Network for the heads up, we’ve now got a full-size, high quality variation of the picture used in one of the Love Sucks banners from back in June. Stefan and Damon have had a costume change, with Stefan waving goodbye to the plaid shirt and wearing something we think is definitely more in keeping with the impeccable sense of Salvatore style.
We’re especially pleased to finally have a close-up look at Stefan and Damon’s lapis rings in order to appreciate all the detail, including the little ‘S’ for ‘Salvatore’ in the middle of both. It also has to be said that the crow (which is the iconic animal in the book series) perching on Elena’s knee is also filling us with immense glee. ;)
Update: You can see some more HQ variations of this image in our media gallery.

Oh, no you don’t. You’re partially responsible for the current photoshop madness. I’m not getting suckered into photoshopping lemons on that tree. ;) Red(Quote)

I have to say that I was a little underwhelmed by this image in banner form, but I am so happy with this version – for me, the crow and the rings make ALL the difference in the world. These are the details of this particular story – effin’ OWN it, you know? Vee(Quote)

Well, in the footage that’s been released, the crow and Damon seem to be separate entities. HOWEVER I think we might have a surprise in store on that front. I’ve been wondering since the pilot shoot if they might forgo any transformation effects in the pilot to save time and money, and then if the show was picked up, sort that effect later. Anything’s possible, I suppose. Vee(Quote)

These look really photoshopped. And I’m still reading the books but WHY THE HELL DOES IT HAVE TO BE BROTHERS FIGHTING OVER THE SAME GIRL ? ridiculous !!! Sia(Quote)

They DO look really photoshopped, and I’m loving the poster-y dreamy effect it has! I don’t think brothers fighting over a girl is so ridiculous… not any more so than a vampire and a shapeshifter, or a good guy and a bad guy, or a mortal and a supernatural vying for the same girl. Pretty common themes for these types of thriller/romance books, in my experience. Glitterati(Quote)

Anyone else pick up on the fact (from this and the Love Sucks promo) that Paul has the ring on his right hand and Ian on his left? Nice touch. Vee(Quote)

Well, seems to me Damons ring changed its location several times from first poster till now…
If Damon and Crow will be separated from each other in this show that would be like Brandon Lee in “The Crow” and nice too. As for black wolf i’m not sure. Roman(Quote)

I haven’t noticed it in the promo posters, but yeah, it’s on his right hand in the actual pilot stills. Vee(Quote)
