I like the textured-gray leather cover bit, and the bat-shaped thingie in red and subtle is very cool. Can’t get down with the red type, though, and the way the font is kerned is problematic at any size.
Can someone find the center of this image for me? Maybe it is centered, and the big flaming-red porno mustache is just so intimidating that I am having trouble concentrating.
Hello all, I’m the author of Devil Ash Deceit, Mitchell Olson. Allow me to explain the crappy photoshop cover I whipped up, since this website loves talking about them so much.
Basically, the book was finished before the cover art was. Since I had said I planned to release the book in December, I wanted to keep my word and get the book out then. I had been working with an artist, but unfortunately she couldn’t complete the job by December, so I made the decision to post my book early with this cover knowing full-well I’d be replacing it soon. Luckily, this cover was only online for about 3 months, and now I’m very proud to reveal the REAL cover, which you can all see by following this link:

I can hardly read this.
“I can hardly read this.”
That’s a blessing, IMHO!
Are they going for a bible look-alike, with the texture and color? Gold colored type would be better and more readable.
Yes, gold text. And larger.
And the leather should look worn.
Here’s a good example:

Yes! Doesn’t need to be as elaborate, but the color of the text is right.

Personally, I like the font, it just needs to be larger and brighter. All I can see when I look at the logo is a Zubat on fire, though.
I didn’t know Batman had an evil twin.
