Cover art

From Doom Wiki

Cover art refers to the artwork depicted on the cover of a product, whether a box, a book cover or a front sleeve. Each product in the Doom franchise, or in any other franchise related to the Doom games, has its own distinctive cover. The artwork for some products is based on art from previous releases, especially if the newer article is somewhat related to the original in content. Each piece or art displays a picture or design, a logo, and often some product information.

[edit] Doom

On the Doom cover art, the game's protagonist is standing on a ridge, using his machinegun to fight off hellish monsters who greatly resemble Barons of Hell, but have mechanic parts, while one of them is grabbing his left wrist. The Doom logo is shown over and behind the marine. This cover was illustrated by Don Ivan Punchatz.

[edit] Doom II: Hell on Earth

On the Doom II cover art, what appears to be the protagonist of the series, here showing an unusual buzz cut, is fighting a cyberdemon using the shotgun. The Doom II logo can be seen over and behind the two combatants. This cover was illustrated by Gerald Brom. The manual uses the same art and hence isn't shown below.

[edit] The Ultimate Doom

The U.S The Ultimate Doom uses the same artwork as the Doom box cover, but shows a dark frame around the picture and "The Ultimate" written on top of the Doom logo.

The UK The Ultimate Doom features entirely new artwork depicting large face of a red demon, not that unlike the monsters on the original Doom's cover art.

[edit] Master Levels for Doom II

The Master Levels for Doom II cover art shows a grey hellish background. The artwork is based on the same graphic as various other pieces of Doom related art, including the texture SKINFACE found in the Doom games, the Doom II texture SKY3 and the Collector's Edition cover art.

[edit] Final Doom

The cover art of Final Doom depicts what appears to be the face of a futuristic case or a similarly styled panel. Its simpler version of the Doom logo is written in yellow with "Final" on top of it and appears within a diamond shape on the center of the upper half of the design.
