Big thanks to Stratos Agianoglou and the mighty Sci-Fi-O-Rama for bringing the work of Chris Foss to my attention. I had seen his Elite design floating around Ffffound for a little while now but never knew who created it, or when.
Not only is Foss incredibly talented at creating epic space scenes with planets and ships, but the logo design he rendered for the Elite cover is stunning. Check out the posts on Sci-Fi-O-Rama for more by Chris Foss, as well as his official website.
WOW!!
