First PS3 Box Art Template

The art template for the first PS3 game: Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom has surfaced and there’s been a few slight alterations to the design in addition to accommodating the much loved Blue-ray disc format. The Playstation logo now rests embossed on a white background as opposed to the previous black background on PS2 games, which stands out more because of the colours in the logo. The placement of the ESRB and Publisher’s logo hasn’t changed but the location of the words “Playstation 2″ or in this case (pun intended) “Playstation 3″ are now left-aligned as opposed to the very top. At first glance you might think this is a shot of the spine because this his how you design front and back covers but apparently it’s where the name will sit vertically. Even though it may look a bit silly, to me this makes more sense, since it leaves more room for artwork and isn’t as distracting. So what are your thoughts, does the final new design appeal to you?
