Line 7:
 
One popular variation is to have the covers of all the installments of a work form a larger picture when they're placed side by side in the correct order.
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 91:
* Everything by Demon Hunter has a [[Textless Album Cover]] with some variation on the band's logo (a silhouette of a demon's head with bullet hole) rendered in a different "medium": a seal on the cover of a leather-bound book, an appropriately-shaped dead tree stump, rust on a metal gate, a cow's skull on a bed of roses, etc.
* Almost all of [[Chicago (Music)|Chicago]]'s album covers feature the band's iconic logo in a different setting. The only exception is ''Hot Streets'', which features a portrait of the band.
* Thus far, all Days Of The New albums have been [[Self -Titled Album|self-titled]], and all of their covers feature depictions of the same dead tree in different settings. The exception is the [[Greatest Hits Album]] ''Definitive Collection'', which opts for a photo of [[I Am the Band|Travis Meeks]] sitting down with an acoustic guitar instead. The next album has been announced as ''Days of the New Presents Tree Colors'', which breaks the self-titled pattern - given the title, that signature tree is probably not going anywhere though...
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 99:
* The first three releases in the ''[[War Craft]]'' series (two games and an expansion) keep the theme of a close-up on a human and an orc staring each other down. Warcraft 3 broke from this trend by having four different editions, each featuring the face of a hero from each different faction. The expansion continued this trend, featuring a more recent picture of one such hero after his [[Evil Makeover]].
* Each game in the ''[[Star Wars Battlefront]]'' series (except the mobile phone versions, because they don't count) has had some kind of soldier facing to the viewer's right and shooting. They also had combatants from opposing sides until ''Elite Squadron'' bucked the trend. Additionally, [[Lucas Arts]] games in general since 2006 have had bright yellow spine art.
* Continuing the [[.hack]] example above, placing the cases for the first 4 games side by side reveals a picture of [[Hello, Insert Name Here|the main character]] riding a grunty along the bottom of the spines.
