Louis Saekow Design


Founded in 1986, according to their old website, they designed more 50 packages for Sega of America, including the one for the first Sonic.
There is often confusion between Louis Hsu SAEKOW and Louis Saekow Design in the credits transcribed on sites such as Mobygames. However, a handful of games such as War of the Lance and Storm Across Europe show the name of the company for which some of the designers credited in these games work. It is thus very likely that the cover illustrations attributed to Louis Hsu Saekow from the second half of the 1980s onwards (those he did not sign and for which several people are credited) were in fact done by other artists from his company.
