Cover Art on Xbox dashboard

I just bought Fez and am currently loving it. One thing I noticed is when I boot it up from My Games section, there is no cover art for Fez. Instead it is a outline with a tiny icon of Gomez in the middle. This is a very minor thing, but I find it strange considering every other XBLA game has cover art, and there is cover art for Fez on the market place.

Yeah this happens for me too, literally no idea why *shrugs*

I thought it was a launch day thing but it's still like it.

Polytron is aware that there is apparently no cover art uploaded to the Xbox Live servers.

Polytron said on Twitter that they don't know either and have already contacted Microsoft. Probably their fault.

Iron Brigade just a has a fat trenched logo and no box art for me. Same problem with Fez.

Yeah, same here. Looks like a MS issue.

Shame as the cover art is drawn by the Scott Pilgrim guy apparently.

Fez has a fat Trenched logo for you? That's sounds like the weirdest of these bugs.

They better fix this because it's nice to have a library of digital covers.

Yep.

Hearing multiple people sight examples of this not being fixed has me convinced it probably won't be. I liked that cover art too.

Yep, I can confirm this from my end, as well. All I see among my catalogue of games is a tiny speck of the Fez dude, it's really baffling as the ad for the game in the dashboard's marketplace really pops in all its vibrant pixel-y glory. Seems like there's no way of addressing this, unless the game is re-released, somehow, onto Live with that art work intact, or would patching it do service to something outside the game? Ahhhhh, that ad, though!!!

I was having this issue. On a lark I cleared the cache, restarted the system and to my surprise the box art was there.

It seems to be synced properly with the marketplace on Xbox.com, so perhaps they have fixed it.

I re-downloaded the game and the cover is now displayed in the game library. Now if only I could make it passed the Polytron logo before it sends me back to the dashboard.

It's probably part of a puzzle.

Just powered on my 360 and noticed that the cover is in its intended resolution. Good on ´em!

A few 360 games don't have cover art, I have Ultimate MK 3 and the Games on Demand version of Halo Combat Evolved, neither have cover art.

Fun fact: Bryan Lee O' Malley, the creator of Scott Pilgrim, he did the cover art for Fez.

Not really related, sorry! :)

Same, it gnaws away at bad parts of my mind.
