Incredibly popular Austin-based design company Mondo has teamed up with Insomniac Games to deliver another one of their sweet posters for San Diego's annual geek blow-out. It is their first video game work.

The design comes from UK-based Mondo artist Matthew Taylor. Says Taylor to EW: "I wanted the poster to stand alone as its own thing, rather than just be a continuation of the look of the promotional and box art that was already out there. The box art was a crazy, maximalist, throw-everything-in-and-the-kitchen-sink-too piece of illustration, and there was no way I could compete with that. So I decided to go aggressively bold, blocky, and colorful and still try and capture the tone of the game, hence the onomatopoeic BOOM in the explosion."
"Something that stood out for me in the materials I was given was that the user can customize the main character up to the hilt-so there is essentially no set look for the player. With this in mind I thought that silhouetting the figures would give the poster a central figure without specifically suggesting the player look a certain way."
