I agree. The IV, V, and VI labels were not used on home video cover art prior to the "Special Editions". Also, the "A New Hope" title was not used on home video cover art, or really seen anywhere except in the modified title scroll, prior to the "Special Editions".
I think I like the first ones in Falle's post best, for the front cover anyway.

Hell, the episode numbers weren't used until the 2000 Special Edition release. They sure as hell weren't on the '97 releases because no one started referring to them by their episode numbers until the giant "Episode I" campaign. And at least from the '95 release on, they were using the subtitle "A New Hope" in packaging, but it was little teeny tiny underneath the big "Star Wars," which is the real title of the movie.
But, yeah, I hate the episode numbers too. I didn't mind when he did it with the prequels, because, well, that's what he wanted to do. But when he started retconning the old titles, and I saw them in the same boring uniform logo style as the prequel logos, that's when I got pissed.
