It's also clearly not what the OP was asking for if you look at the examples provided. A better choice would've been "minimalistic" box arts to remove the shackles of this very specific art term.
Perhaps the OP should clarify what he means, because his examples aren't minimalist and arguably not minimalistic either.

Have you posted some cover art examples of what is/isn't minimalist yet?Perhaps the OP should clarify what he means, because his examples aren't minimalist and arguably not minimalistic either.
Hey NeoGAF, quick question: y'all have any idea what "minimalist" means?
This should be such a great subject for a thread.

The idea of minimalism is to remove as much information as possible while still conveying a core message.
Always been a fan of these myself.Elder Scrolls?
Does that count ?
Not an art student. Most of the box arts in this thread for minimalist box arts aren't minimalist. Should we just go ahead and allow all box arts?
ITT: box art we like
much smaller than the actual box size, not sure if you can make it much smaller, maybe a photoshop expert could

Pretty sure this is the exact opposite of minimalist, lol.

I have no idea what those games are and the covers tell me nothing about them.

Just remembered the Namco Museum series for PlayStation. Picture isn't mine BTW.
I really love the EarthBound / Mother series's japanese box arts. Very classy.
Look at how well that manual and cartridge complement the box! Hngh.
For real. I'd put that at over half. Jeez.
Lol.
Honestly to Moon who was suggesting a name change, you would probably have to get away from anything minimal- period. Maybeeast cluttered would have been fine.
No bloated action. No distracting background or scenery. No edgy monsters crawling everywhere. Just our hero standing calm, reflecting on his mission ahead and ready to kick ass. You can just see the determination on his face in the visor.
Go back bitches, time for the KING!
Then, in my opinion, both my examples are minimalist. A close-up of a person's face and a sunset with a plane. Anyone who's finished each game will immediately know the significance.
I'm no designer but that's not minimalist even by the franchises own standards.The GOAT.
Might as well be looking at some of the posts in here.
