Because Appleyards box missed something I added something (please excuse me if I adapted it without your notice):

Ok. Point taken.

Just remember though, that there many out there who don't have a problem with representing certain symbols for historical accuracy purposes and it's not fair to lump them all in as closet 'Nazis'.

I actually think making such a big deal about not showing them gives them more alure than they should actually have.

Anyway, I won't say anymore on this. Carry on.

can't you just feel the creativity flowing through us all? Wow all these box covers are just great.

I can see where the bold cover was trying to go but it seems very rushed and not well though out. It seems way too empty too. If they filled it a bit more like the medal of honour games then that would be nice.

What we need is a totally red box pictures and all on the back, and a big red orchestra logo on the front ( plus all the trademark pictures )

Perhaps a gold Logo on the Red Background (using the Colors of the Sovier Flag )

Just so this is perfectly clear, the box art will not change.

well I would imagin there are a few reasons they cant change, legal maybe part of a contract with bold, time dont have the time to reprint all the boxes with new art and money reprinting all the boxes with new art would cost alot of money and might delay the game.

Splinter -> Very nice !

We should make a contest for the best box art, just for fun. What do you think ?

We really need some of these boxarts uploaded (In a bit of higher res than they currently are) to some place in this (Or any other) page. So that people like me can make their steam game backup and put it on a DVD case with any of these fine choices as cover art.

Tripwire, could you give us a statement please? Like, a reason that the boxart can't change? Come on that's what you hired Yoshiro for.

Also splinter looks very pretty.
