    There's a lot of great fan work out there. I like this one.

    Wait, what's that image in the centre? Is that the first proper teaser?

    it looks like the Alliance symbol with a saber in between, maybe it signalizes hope because the Bespin saber is the return of the Jedi.
    or that's Kylo's saber and represents eternal struggle between First Order and the Resistance.

    UGH. How do you not push in closer on that!

    SO MANY PEOPLE WITH CAMERAS IN THEIR PHONES, SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THEM.

    It's the EU symbol for the Jedi Order. Based off it rather. It seems to be a tad different.

    It's giving me a Phoenix vibe it the alliance ablaze. Either way it looks interesting and I wonder if this is our TFA version of the ROTJ teaser poster.

    Or what TheBBP said - variant of the Jedi insignia incorporating Kylo Ren's saber by the looks of it.

    I'd guess that it is fan-made.

    Do we know for sure this isn't Struzan? While characters aren't arranged in the typical vertical composition of a one sheet the style seems very similar to his. Also, this could just be a sliver of a much larger image.

    I don't think it looks quite like Struzan. I could be wrong though.

    It's definitely not Struzan - and it's not an illustration as such - it's just manipulated photos

    Agreed. It's not Struzan. The big giveaway is the absence of the texture from the airbrush and the gesso on the illustration board. He is also noted for his colored pencil work on top of the painting and I'm not seeing that at all. It's too smooth. However, I will say that it was probably done to emulate his style to an extent.

    Ehh...I don't think this is a photo manip. It's definitely painted, but judging by the strokes in the sky/starfield above Phasma's helmet, I would say it was done digitally. That would also account for the overall smoothness of the piece.

    We're still trying to work out where that's from.

    Wow that's very interesting. It definitely looks like the symbol of the New Jedi Order in flames. Kinda makes sense given the rumors.

    Suppose it depends on where the line is drawn between painted and photo manip - to me, it's clear that the source is a photo, and there has been either digital painting directly over the top of the references, or some painterly adjustments made to the hi res photos in photoshop. I'd be interested to see the process that went into making it.

    Despite retirement, I thought we encountered pretty good inductions that Struzan was doing the poster for Episode VII?

    So why is a weird riff on a fan poster being framed under the same glass as the actual teaser poster, much less one that's signed by the whole cast?

    Why would you do that? So weird.
