questions about Die Hard Five Star disc artwork

I just bought used copies of Die Hard (Five Star Collection) and the two-disc SEs for the two sequels. The cases, covers, and inserts all seem legit, but the disc artwork (particularly for the first film) seem a little off. It's hard to explain, but it looks like the sort of artwork you might find on a bootleg. The font for "Die Hard" and "Disc 1"/"Disc 2" just looks sort of cheap. Also, the artwork on both discs has a very red tint - Disc 2 has a shot of Bruce hanging on a rope that looks very distorted because of this tint. Is this just how the official artwork looks? My hunch is that they're legit, only because everything else in the three sets seems legit, and because the disc artwork for all six discs is pretty consistent in terms of fonts, layouts, etc.

If anyone has photos of their sets that they could post, or tips on how to determine if the discs are in fact legit, I would appreciate the help. I can post pics of the discs when I get home if that would help.

Here you go:



Did Fox really design such crappy disc art? It just doesn't look professionally done.

Those look exactly like the ones I have from my boxset. I never really bothered to look at them, but yes they are pretty crappy.

They're official and, yes, they look otherwise.

Thanks for the responses, guys. It's good to know that what I bought is legit.
