Doom 2016 Alternate cover art
This is the alternate art for the 2016 release of Doom.

This art imitates the cover of the original 1993 release of the game featuring the main character fighting off hellish monsters whilst standing elevated on a pile of bones with the tile above them. The dark reds of the back ground and demonic enemies serves to emphasise the main character and focal point of the front cover because his green armour contrasts the red and oranges. The sketchy painted aesthetic imitates the 1993 cover style and is in the  same style as other cover and titles from the 90's.

Even certain aspects of the original cover have been reworked for the new; the demon staring at person looking at the cover, the soldier running towards the main character has turned into a giant demonic hand reaching out at him in the background. This explicitly shows the theme of it being an FPS/Horror with explicit graphic violence and intense gameplay.

This can be compared to the original art of the 2016 release which in comparison doesn't reflex the themes of the game and looks more like a generic shooter which could be the same as any other FPS game. The horror/hell aspect of the game being completely absent other than the dark colour scheme with metallic yellows and greens which could reflect illness and is present throughout the games map.

The alternate art also reflects the nature of the game as a remake of the original 1993 release as showing the art as a remake and improvement as well. The original doesn't reflect this as well and could be mistaken as an original.
