What would your favorite games look like with box credits?

MTV Multiplayer has been the host for a lively discussion of box art credits recently (as has the delightful David Jaffe), and a new post may add fuel to both sides' fires. The site has created some mock-ups of what your favorite game boxes may look like if the dev team got credit on the cover.
The immediate reaction as we perused boxes like God of War and Halo 3 was one of revulsion, but the more we think about it, it might be kind of cool to see boxes used to portray games as a team effort rather than just touting the IP within. What do you think?

Why wouldn’t they put the extra credits on the back of the box, like with movies and whatnot? Can’t say I like how they have them on the front covers. =/. I personally wouldn’t care if they did put the extra credits on boxes, just as long as it’s not in an obnoxious fashion.
Anyway, good idea, bad idea?
