Madden 27 Deluxe Cover by The New Company.
It’s our fourth season developing the Madden covers, and this has to be one of our favorites.
Featuring a man of many labels: No. 1 Overall Pick. Chicago Bears QB1. Generational Talent. Trailblazer. Unconventional. Nail Art Aficionado. Overhyped. Lightning rod. ICEMAN.
Our goal was to crystallize all of this in a single image — an encapsulation of the pressure, the place, the expression, and the resolve.
It’s a beautiful, simple portrait, and there was only one person we knew could bring it to life: the one and only . Not only is he an incredible photographer, but also a gracious creative partner who consistently pushes the work forward while ensuring every voice is heard and every note is considered.
Shout out to the whole team — Our producers , , who make it all happen. and his whole crew for the beautiful video work. And the EA team who steer this whole ship — , , , Reza, Jeff and everyone. Thank you!
Excited to share more from our latest work as our partnership with EA Sports continues.
