Apologies if it's been spotted already, but Saville Parris Wakefield are updating their website.
And, contrary to what some of the more vocal reactionaries that frequent these parts have been saying, it confirms that they were involved with the Live in Glasgow artwork. Although, whether that's a good or bad thing is open to debate (I quite like it myself).

Shoulda been green 
Doesn't surprise me!
Arial/Helvetica? Check. Blurred picture/waste painting? Check.
It's yer basic "Saville-by-numbers" sleeve... apart from the dramatic lack of white, that is! By the way, what the hell happened to the inner booklet? US Nooler's, does the US edition feature one?

Quite the opposite of what a New Order sleeve should be (and used to be), don't you think...

no booklet, just the little advert for the remasters.
I am surprised. Not seen a Saville 'directed' cover without some credit on it. I'm still maintaining that he couldn't have been involved with the finished peice. If that thing went into Saville's hands he would have thrown it to the floor.
My understanding is that Peter Saville is obsessed with function. The function of that DVD cover fails because the disks rub against one another. This, along with the fact that the cover is printed on the lowest-quality paper and the images are poorly printed suggest that Peter Saville's involvement was minimal.
We have had inside information on here before...
There's no credits for ANYTHING on the DVD, so it's not surprising his name's not on it.
It is listed as 'recent work' on his official website, so you can't get more official then that.
The cover is nothing different from the other live DVDs, but it makes sense, because together they make a unified whole. I remember Saville saying that the cover for 'Singles' wasn't anything too original becuase the material itself wasn't original, it's recompiling stuff that's already been released, so the cover is also a recompiling of stuff already released, with some slight tweaking.
