Cover art

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.

Each piece or art displays a picture or design, a logo, and often some product information.
