Here we have the latest version of the box art for our game Ultra Pool.

Neil contacted me not that long ago and sent me a few sketches with ideas that he had, the overall layout of the box art has stayed pretty much the same since those original sketches.

Neil also designed the logo for the game which went through many changes. We worked together to tweak the the fonts and colours and I'm now very happy with the logo and box art that Neil has created.

Since the game is set slightly into the future we are wanting to make the games similar to current day weapons but with a twist, below you can see a model George created and a concept of an updated version:
