Quoted from freeplay3:

If I had the option to lose the blue, I would take the LE. The premium is the same picture everywhere. As a kid my friends and I always that the Led Zeppelin III was horrible art work for an album.

The artwork fits the LP's gimmick. The original album cover had a "wheel" embedded in the front you could spin, revealing different things in various holes in the cover. A band member would appear in one cutout and the others might show things related to him.

Agree that a collage would have been better. I'm thinking the licensing was just too expensive to get much of anything. If you can't afford the best albums or most popular songs, maybe just not do the license in the first place?

Quoted from ellips6:

On the Premium cab they could have at least written 'LedZeppelin' with the Led Zep font, that would have added some theme integration right away.

The font is correct; that is exactly what the original album looked like. The "Zeppelin" font didn't come til HotH

Looks like Stern piggybacked off the Hot Wheels license? Same asset sets...

Quoted from MikeS:

I'll give a differing opinion. I bet if you took all of the pins manufactured between 1983 and 2012, LZ's artwork would rank in the top 10% of all the games. It's not that bad. I think we've just been spoiled lately by having guys like Zombie Yeti, Franchi, and Dirty Donny in the fold who are putting out some of the best pinball art of all time. If this game came out in 2009, I bet everyone would be raving about how "good" the art looked compared to other games that were coming out at that time

Mmmmm... no. I can't count even a half-dozen WMS titles that look worse than Zeppelin. Millionaire, maybe DH or Road Kings... dunno, can't think of any others less inspired than LZ. I mean, there might be games that have art that's hard to like (Transporter) but you gotta admit the art is well done and is integrated well with the game! Even if ALL the other manufacturers games were ugly, you're still not close to 10%.
