I must say the logo is very, very strong; in fact, it reminds me exactly of the NBA logo which conveys the speed & movement of the game yet it's still very balanced. The logo will make the game very easy to market & brand. The name texts are very clean, crips and easy to read as well. The player's pose has a very strong sequential appeal to it -- comic art -- with the layout being in-your-face. On top of that, the player is outfitted in the BB uniform so any potential buyer already has a flash of what to expect. And as other people mentioned, the inclusion of using #52 will immediatly subconsciously draw the football fan to think of current greats: Willis, Lewis, etc and being a LB, gamers will know what to expect: HITS!

Seriously, absolutely love this cover. I wish I could find out who the artist is.
I love the cover but really think the logo is awful. I don't look at that logo and see anything but someone who referenced the MLB and NBA and made a logo. It just doesn't have much uniqueness to it.

Nothing against the game. I hope it does great, and I hope it introduces things we have come to expect from a franchise (Madden) that has lagged on (proper physics and player momentum).
