The Paths of Glory is decent, but I'm not sure about the font and I really don't like the idea of the Kirk Douglas's credit on the cover, but the visual itself looks intriguing.

The Paths of Glory cover needs to be tossed out completely… just a terrible design from top to bottom.

I'd rather see something incorporating the more iconic shots of Dax walking through the tunnels (the first of Kubrick's many "tunnel tracking shots" which he used in his later films. Or, if they wanted to go for something less expected, they could do one of the many beautifully composed shots of the trial in the mansion. This is just Dax and some barbwire... boring.

That looks more like a trade publication ad than a DVD/Blu-ray cover. But the art itself is nice, it fits the film and the style of the other Wes Anderson releases. Maybe Criterion will release the film in a slip cover that allows them to do the conventional Hollywood-style packaging for maximum retail impact, with the quality graphics underneath, like they did with Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic.<br><br>As for Paths, I haven't seen the movie so I can't say whether there's a better signature image but it looks fine to me. I'm not such a fan of the star credit (Kirk Douglas in...) and that blocky font is kind of ehh... (the S looks almost swastika-like) but I'm OK with it.

The Darjeeling Limited artwork is actually a cool idea minus the critics quotes. Like the PoG artwork a lot. The Darjeeling Limited artwork is actually a cool idea minus the critics quotes.
