Perhaps the real UT3 box art?

[Luseferous]

why does it look like an atari symbol?

Thats the first thing that hit me about it

[Fusion]

An hommage to their old employer?

[StalwartUK]

Cant be. Besides, the logo is wrong.

[Mastame]

I don't see any Atari logo in that, what am I missing?

[Luseferous]

Atari Logo
Kronos's link

Its not an Atari logo it just reminds me of it.

[Mastame]

Lol, if that's the only link you guys are making.. ''oh geez, they both got three stripes.''
I just see this creation as another smart way to make the III less important.. the emphasis had to be on the Unreal Tournament, and not on the 3, for all the new players this game is gonna harvest. The III is integrated into the background, it's not so apparent as when you'd include it into the logo.

That boxart is genious. The way the three bars mend with the background and doesn't make it seem like its the third iteration, is just awesome. To me it looks better than any of the previous Unreal Tournament boxarts. I hope its real.

[Acid Phase]

I like it. Too bad we can't see it in a higher resolution. I have a suggestion if it's ever possible. The same type of design, but the top layer character to be a different character for the three systems. (ie. PC might have that human character on the front cover. XB360 might be good to have a necris on the cover. As for the PS3 version, why not add the Krall.)

Now that's a pretty cool Box art (assuming this is the actual Box art)! But man, that Stinger is bigger than I thought!

[Raynor]

Bersy, could you tell me what font did you used for the word "Tournament"? Thanks.

[Gregori]

I guess Epic are going to have to update the forum again to reflect the new style. I've no doubt that this is genuine, because they've the player's character on the front. That hasn't been shown before in any of the publicly released screenshots. A bigger shot of the cover would be nice.

I really dig the new cover style. Its simple, clean and uncluttered. It reminds me somewhat of Quake 3's cover. They placed the emphasis on the 'Unreal Tournament' not the fact that its a sequel. It also looks like blood on a clean white sheet, or war banners hanging down, which is cool!


The font for 'Tournament' is alot better. The Sharp edges on the Ts unite the whole feel of the logo, instead of being boring block letters.


Some will say that "Its whats inside the box that counts" which is true, but having an eye catching cleverly designed cover is really important. People do judge books (and games) by their covers, so you really want to get their attention. If it looks the same as every other boring title on the shelf, people will pass it by.

Really cool box art... by the way, which weapon is the guy carrying on his shoulder? Is it the Stinger?
