Lucasfilm Watermark

The following poster description comes from the book "The Art of Attack of the Clones":

The Attack of the Clones teaser and launch posters each reflect this episode's themes of forbidden love admidst turmoil in the Star Wars galaxy. Lucasfilm Vice President of Marketing Jim Ward worked with Art Director Scott Erwert to do initial explorations on these themes for both posters. The teaser evolved into a concept created by Art Director Greg Bell and Copywriter Paul Venables that used text and stunning images of Anakin and Padme to suggest the fateful decision that Anakin must make between duty and forbidden love.

George Lucas, of course, is also credited for the design of the poster.
