Some people think that abstraction is enough to sell, because sometimes the best way to make something stand out is to make it not stand out. Amongst a shelf full of angry pink balls, floating heads, scantily clad women, and outright lies, some classy minimalism can work wonders. At least one of the things below applies to such covers: Complete absence of everything sans the background: Self-Explanatory. Solid color, simple gradient or just generally unsophisticated backgrounds. Alternatively, a closeup of a material used as a background. Single Object Focus, considering the said object exists. Lots of empty space for the covers that have something besides the background. Alternatively, the cover would even have an action-packed part that cover only the - say - 5% of it. Minimal use (or complete lack) of text. Any form of literarist art will do as well. In music, the first really popular record (or at least the earliest notable example) with such a sleeve was The Beatles' eponymous 1968 album (colloquially known today as The White Album for its almost completely blank white cover). However, the mainstreaming of the minimalist design style from the 1980s onward is mostly credited to Peter Saville's work for Factory Records in the 1970s and 1980s, which set the design tone for Post-Punk and much of the eighties (and aughties). He did sleeves for lots of mainstream bands (e.g. Wham!, Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Ultravox), but Factory let him do anything he wanted on international hit records by New Order. Minimalism was the art style of the 2000s and especially The New '10s, that is, whenever people weren't abusing neoclassicism. Compare to Face on the Cover, which is usually minimalistic in its approach, but only with faces. Contrast Detail-Hogging Cover and Design Student's Orgasm, which go for the opposite strategy. |

The Divide: Enemies Within is a 3D Metroidvania where you pilot a bright orange Chicken Walker on a hostile alien planet brimming with monsters, across a number of unique, interesting environments. Bafflingly enough, the sole cover art◊ of the game is just the title slapped over a black background with some green light. | |

The box art and marketing materials for Sonic & Knuckles primarily featured the game's rather simplistic insignia: silhouettes of the title characters inside an ellipse◊. While the international artwork sets the insignia against a pure black background, the Japanese box art was slightly more detailed, featuring a white-and-blue background and an inspirational quote. In both cases, they were a stark difference to the detailed / illustrated covers of other Sonic titles of the era. | |

Metal Gear: The cover artwork of the Japanese and American releases of the first Metal Gear Solid for the Play Station consisted of a simple white background with the game's logo. The European release on the other hand, featured an illustration of Solid Snake's face to it. While not quite as minimalistic, the American and European covers for MGS2, along with the European cover for MGS3, all feature a simple illustration of Snake. All the covers for MGS4 and ''MGSV'' have a simple close-up of the character (with the exception of the Japanese Ground Zeroes box, which also features Kaz next to him). |

Super Mario Bros. 2 has only Mario running with a veggie in hand against a blue background. Super Mario Bros. 3 has Raccoon Mario flying with a yellow background behind him. Super Mario World shows Mario flying with Yoshi against a blue background. In all cases, the cover intends to illustrate directly the most innovative or standout feature in each installment, making this a Justified Trope. Later games would start incorporating more detailed backgrounds in their box art. | |

The Legend of Zelda The original game had a shield with one section cut out to reveal the cartridge inside. The second game had just a picture of a sword on the cover. By The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the game's logo on a gold background was the only cover art these games had outside of Japan. This lasted until the Oracle series, which had rather crowded box art by the series' standards. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: The North American and European box art mostly returns to the gold background, although with a faint image of Link sailing on the King of Red Lions. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's North American boxart shows only a sketch of Link and Wolf Link's face separated diagonally. |

The English-language paperback editions of the Haruhi Suzumiya novels feature a plain red cover◊ with an understated title and a small, easily-overlooked silhouette of Haruhi.

Main series Pokémon games simply feature a single Pokemon on their cover, known in the fandom as the "Game Mascot": Pokémon Red and Blue had the fully evolved starters: Venusaur for Green and Leaf Green, Charizard for Red and Fire Red, Blastoise for Blue and Pikachu for Yellow. Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, games based on Pokémon Yellow have, unsurprisingly, Pikachu for Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee for Let's Go Eevee. Later games feature Legendaries on their covers and they're also the focus of that particular version of the game. The only spin-off title to also have a "game mascot" is Pokémon XD, who had Shadow Lugia on its cover. Pokémon Legends: Arceus averts this despite being a mainline title by having the game's protagonists and several Pokemon staring into the background where Mt.Coronet looms. |

Batman Film Series: Batman (1989) only seemed to have one design for its main promotional material: the iconic Batman logo on a black background and nothing else. The teaser poster, the Prince soundtrack album, the Licensed Game by Ocean Software (who added only their own logo in the same colors), the original VHS release, and the original DVD cover don't even have a title. The Batman Returns teaser poster featured an extreme close up of the bat-ears-and-head from said logo, with "RETURNS" in very small print at the bottom. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin just have their movie's respective logos over a plain background with the release date at the bottom. The Batman movies' first Blu-Ray covers showed only the title, the stars' names, and a variation of Batman's emblem over a black background. Fox's Batman: The Movie and the boxset for The Dark Knight Trilogy also followed this pattern, albeit with a white background and no actors' names for the latter. |

The Judge Dredd Case Files, a series of trade paperbacks collecting the entire thirty five plus year run of the series, have covers that are half solid colour, half black with a logo, plain text title and an image of the Judge himself. In the earlier editions, the image of Dredd was black and white which enhanced the effect. This style has since been carried over to other 2000 AD complete collections, including Strontium Dog and Nemesis the Warlock. | |

The Twilight Saga: The covers of the second and third novels are black backgrounds with the title and some random object that may or may not relate to the plot. (A flower and a ribbon, respectively.) And given Twilight's success, every other YA fantasy novel cover these days has a similar design. The torn ribbon may be interpreted to symbolize the tear between Bella's vampire boyfriend and family and her "werewolf" friends, who are enemies. However, Meyer has stated she had no control over the flower cover, and it has no relevance. The first one's less minimalistic, since it shows its random object on a black background (an apple; we don't know what apples have to do with the plot, but Rule of Symbolism?) being held in a pair of disembodied hands. But it still probably counts. |

The covers of most Ace Attorney games are very minimalistic, with the original games' GBA releases only featuring the game's logo on a single-color background. Come the games' DS re-releases, a more visual but still minimalistic approach was adopted as standard from then-on; portraits of four of the most important characters of that game, on a simple background. Only the first game's North American release got a more elaborate cover art featuring Phoenix, Maya, The Judge and Edgeworth (The European release instead went with another kind of minimalistic art: Phoenix on a white background with nothing else but the logo). | |

The Penguin Random House cover is designed with black and white divisions, where the top half is white with the title in large blocky black outlines and the bottom half is black with Isaac Asimov in small flowing white script. |
