File:NFS II (PC, US) cover art.jpg

Cover art of Need for Speed II (U.S., PC version), featuring a Ferrari F50, and featuring the marques of other exotic cars featured in the game (red bar at bottom). It's interesting to note that the game's logo design would be reused and refined in Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed: High Stakes (as a stylized "S" or "5") and Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed.

Image obtained from MobyGames's entry of the game[1] (originally uploaded by MobyGames user MAT), cropped off the "CD-ROM classics" tag at the bottom,^[2] and resized (640x736 pixels to 300x345).
