Printing a BGA logo on board game boxes

If your game is available (or soon to be) on Board Game Arena, you can use these files to add awareness and promotion about your game being playable on our plaform right from the shelves.

If your game is NOT already available on Board Game Arena, you can check this page or send us a message about how to make the best of both worlds (printed games and virtual ones).

Note that now that QR codes are quite common, it's better for you to use this specific version so users don't have to type anything to find your game online.

The box examples

Depending on your box size/ratio, there's a few options you can use to display the BGA logo as well as the QR codes which would lead directly to your game page.

The vertical box

Depending on the orientation of the box art and way it should be displayed on shelves, we recommend not to display the BGA logos/QR codes on the front face.

For the sides, you can use different display versions to fit your needs. We strongly recommend to use as little space as possible, and to have the long horizontal one on the tallest sides, while using the tallest ones on the horizontally-oriented spaces.

Bottom position/Right positions are prefered.

White background should be used on most cases, but you can use the variation to fit your box artwork.


Note that for boxes having a side of less than 3cm width, we don't recommend using the box sides but the box back.
