Final Cut disc art different from the Briefcase disc art?

In borrowing the 2-disc set of Blade Runner for my colleague to watch from the library, I was surprised to discover that the disc art for that edition was different from the character-themed disc art for the 5-disc briefcase.

So I made comparisons between Discs 1 and 2 of my briefcase set & Discs 1 and 2 of the basic version to show here (please forgive the white sticker on the NYPL discs lol)


Disc 1 from the two-disc set:

Disc 1 from the five-disc set:

Disc 2 from the two-disc set:

Most amusing, and I'm beginning to suspect that the 4-disc set might have different disc art as well. Oh well, just another piece of the puzzle for BR fetishists I guess :lol:

Although if my theory is actually true, I'd appreciate a photo response :)

I have 2disc and 5disc sets, but now those photos on 4discs make me want it too just for the disc art! Love the pics of Rach and Pris - never seen them before as I could remember.

Nah, I shall pass, I'm not SO bad... :P

Also it's a bit pity the 4disc edition is the only one which has original BR art on the cover... that's the best one made for this movie. Somehow I don't like the new one on 2disc set either.

Wow! Love the pics on the 4 disk set. Not enough to buy that set, too. But enough to search for good quality scans of them on-line. :D

Really? I thought it was great to have both of the original poster artists contribute their work for the 2-disc and 4-disc editions. I kind of have a nostalgia for Drew Struzan's artwork for BR, since it's basically a revision of the same art used for the Esper Edition bootleg, the second bootleg I ever bought. :D

P.S. Anyone notice how the pic of Pris on Disc 4 looks more like Milla Jovovich dressed as Pris than Daryl Hannah? :D You can tell by them lips :lol: And by her eyes, too; I dunno, they somehow look different, with her lips pursed in a weird way.
