The X68000 version of Ys developed by Dempa Micomsoft differs from the other versions on several points. The title screen takes the cover illustration made by Yoshitaka Amano, leaving the title screen originally created by Tomoo Yamane. 
The logo was designed by Hiroshi Hirata, mangaka and famous calligrapher who also designed the katakana version of the Akira logo.
As for the character illustrations featured in the game, they were made by or based on illustrations by Jun Satoh (cover artist on Shadow Dancer) and Hiroshi Arai.
The atmosphere they give off differs from those made by Ayano Koshiro for the MSX2 version (later reused on FM-7).

Note that the illustration of the statue of the goddess was created after the release of Ys I by Akira Yokoyama / 横山明.
