Set to be released on September 6th, Resistance 3, Insomniac Games's Resistance 3 get a cool reversible cover just so that you can have a good, logo-free look at the amazing box art of British artist Olly Moss.



We have earlier covered on the unveiling of the official box art of Insomniac Games' PlayStation 3 shooter Resistance 3, featuring the work of one of our favorite graphic wizard, British artist Olly Moss. In typical Moss form, the box art certainly didn't disappoint, giving us one of the sleekest and best video game box art in recent memory, so much so that the trailer recently released at Gamescom were molded in the graphic style of Moss's work. Nevertheless, we were quite perturbed by the numerous logos all over the places on the box.





And now, in a much-welcome move for those with an eye for cool graphics, Sony and Insomniac Games have announced that they will be offering a "clean/logo-free inlay/reversible cover" on Insomniac Games's Twitter account.



The clean/logo-free inlay/reversible cover you'll find when you open Resistance 3 on 9/6!!! #fb http://yfrog.com/18vpzdj
