The quality for the current is a bit lacking. Wasn't able to find a direct upgrade; the closest I could find is this alternate poster.

However, I'm also wondering if something else from that series would make for a more effective illustration to show that "yes, they're now in control". Examples: 1, 2, 3. Thoughts?

I think a crop on the statue would work best, here's a cropped 3.1 at wiki size

Here's a different crop of 5 as a PNG that gets the girl in the pic.

I only wish the detail on the alien statue's head was a bit better. From that distance he's indistinguishable from the armored soldiers, which makes it look more like Day of the Jackboot.

The alien features would come out better in a tighter crop.

That works. Still has the soldier in the background as well.

I dunno, it seems like it loses some of its effectiveness without the people in the foreground. Here's another crop.

The crowner's at a week but the three in the green are too close to call right now, so I'll give it through the weekend.
