While the recently released box art for Modern Warfare 2 isn’t the final design, a number of people have expressed their discontentment with its appearance.

Personally, I don’t mind the temporary box art. But I felt that in the case of Modern Warfare 2, all that’s needed, really, is a black background with the logo prominently displayed.

I threw something together based on that concept – you can take a look at it here. An Xbox 360 cover was used, but it wasn’t selected with the intention of slighting other platforms.

Now, anyone with some basic photo editing abilities could do this – I’m certainly not trying to pass this off as a skillfully crafted work of art.

Still, I think it would be a clean, effective cover that allows the name to speak for itself.
