I was recently looking up a set online, and came across images of it with two
different box designs. From what I can tell comparing the boxes of both types,
the two designs of boxes have the same box dimensions. It is just the visuals
on the box that are different. The set is 4884 Wild Hunters, from 2005
Would Bricklink care about differentiating between the two design types? I know
for some sets they make a note of different box designs, such as 10242-1 or 10220-1,
but I don't know if they are not as concerned if there is no change in the
size of the box, just a change in the visuals.
Attached below are some images to show the difference between the two designs
of boxes. The first 2 images are of one design, and the last 2 are of the other
design. Sorry for the blurry images for some, it is hard to find good images
online.

The first two images are from a non-North American release and the last two images
are from a North American version.
The USA requires part quantities to be listed on the packaging.

I found an example of the first design with a piece count as well, but I have
not been able to find one of the second design without a piece count, so maybe
it is a regional difference.

This packaging change occurred during the creation of the "Creator" theme.
First editions of the set would have had the standard "Designer Set"
trade dress, and later editions of the set would have had the "Creator"-themed
trade dress.
I have added a note to the set's original box entry with that information.

I feel like I should have seen the difference between one of the boxes having
the Creator branding and the one without it, but I seemed to completely overlook
that detail. Thanks for pointing it out.
