For those of you who asked, here's the inverted (black on white) version of my imprint:
And, in short, I hate it. It doesn't look like a sun rising behind a planet, it looks like a boob with a sparkly nipple. I can make the lines a bit thicker in the white on black one so it shrinks better. That's easy to do. But as far as black on white ... no, not gonna happen.
Anyhow, moving forward with the new edition of The Milkman (tentatively titled the Supersekrit Extra Cheesy Edition), I'm going to include some extras:
- A bonus chapter from The Milkman 2
- An introduction
- Possibly an extended scene or two
- An interior graphic of the original cover because...
I hope I have so many concepts that I can post them here for you all to look at and vote on (although ultimately it will be my decision). So get crackin' and see what kind of nifty-looking cover you can design. And go tell all your struggling artist friends, too. If you don't know what the book is about, you (or your struggling artist friend) can order one here.

Okay, I would never have come up with that image. Must be a guy thing.
I hate it. It doesn't look like a sun rising behind a planet, it looks like a boob with a sparkly nipple.
Why you gotta hate on sparkly boobs? Sexist.
Oh great. Now I would have NEVER thought that, but they both look like boobages to me.
Boob with a sparky nipple... Damn... can't we go one day without someone bringing that up! It makes me feel so self conscious
I like it. I don't think it looks like a boobie. The black background looks like space. It's good.
So are you saying that you hate Boobages? Hmm....
Its okay. Looking forward to the new book.
I don't think it looks like a boob. It's too perfectly round.
Consider wiping the bottom half of the sun, so only the part behind the planet is showing.
When I grow up I want to BE a graphic designer, AND have boobs like that one with the sparkly pasty.
I like the logo. I think boobs are great too but this wouldn't have looked like one to me.
But I thought guys liked boobs with sparkly nipples?
Who knew?
Is there any way to make the line of the planet a little longer - farther around?
I don't think it looks like a boob etc...well, not one I've ever seen. I think it looks good...
CotW: Yes, as a rule, guys like boobs. :)
Woozie: I didn't say I hated it because it looked like a boob; I hated the black on white color scheme. White on black looks much more like my original idea.
Maleesha: Ha!
Beautiful Zoey: Do you have a sparkly nipple? :D
Sherri: Yay! Thank you!
Mean Gene: Thanks, dude. I'm looking forward to seeing the baby. Congrats again!
Mihrimah: I'm considering it. ;)
Pamela: They're doing marvelous things in clinics these days...
TopChamp: Thank you!
LadyB: Oh, we do. Believe me...
Sunrunner: There is, but I don't want it to look like a ring.
Writing Muse: Thanks!
