    Go with Cover A! It stands out more compared to Cover B. And the characters look really awesome in A! Am lovin' that weasel-thingy-creature with the helmet! - Steven Bone -

    I like Cover B. But one of the experts chose Cover B cos she says the characters look more interesting.

    If you could combine the front cover page B to back cover page of A that would be great because the background and character of cover A, stands out more but cover B is more elegant. Else i would go for cover A, picture speaks a thousand words.

    Cover A! I think young kids will pick the book right off the shelf. Reminds me of nickelodeon.

    Cover B is more Disney. The characters are more 3D looking. Though very nice too, might target an older kids age group.

    I like A as it seems to follow the theme/look of your other books. Colourful too :)

    Always A..

    But cover A background could show more spacey feel.

    Hey Uncle B! I strongly suggest using Cover B for a number of reasons; however, they both have their good points. Cover B is graphically richer than Cover A, and less busy from too many characters. 'A' does show the one whom I suppose is the villain which is helpful, but the story outline on the back looks randomly placed. What could help that would be to give the words a background and align text to center. Aside from a cleaner layout, 'B' shows your name in larger print than Marc's; considering you wrote the book, it makes more sense.

    Without a doubt, Cover B gets my vote! P

    I say Cover A.
    It's more attractive, it's got more characters, and the blue captain, whom I assume is the main character, is more prominent than on Cover B

    Brian, I love your blog!
    I was reading the responses in the voting and I have to agree with the person that compared the two covers to Nickelodeon and Disney. The first one reminds me of SpongeBob, and B is very Disney. Cover B caught my eye quickly, but cover A made my eyes linger.

    I vote A.

    Can't wait to see what the final result is. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    Hi Brian,

    I like cover B. The reason is because the characters reach out for me welcoming me to join them on their great adventure. I'd more more likely to pick up that book than the other.

    Cheers, Christian

    Cover A :) The words stand out more... seems more balanced and brighter.

    Cover B has a nice image but design-wise seems a bit too photoshoppy and unbalanced (for one thing, the circle with the two characters is not in the middle!) plus that font with the thick shadow is not very appealing!

    Amazing how subjective art is. For me, definitely keep 'The Two Islands of Captain Culpepper' in cover B (Nice font and size). Showcase more of this book's brilliantly illustrated characters...give readers a preview of the myriad of cool characters in the book. The map and the 'X' in Cover B instantly indicates a pirate and adventure theme -- nice. Perhaps a bit more outer-space background in cover B to distinguish this as a Space Pirate story. The torn parchment on the back cover is a nice touch...torn parchment sells. If I had to pick one, I would go for cover B but if I could mix things up, it could be something like the image below.

    Hey Brian, your blog is really such an inspiration..you are one really creative fella! I say Cover B...clean, clear, neat and I find it more appealing than the other one! Can't wait to read the book! Let me know if you need my help editing! Val

    Tough choice! The little boy in me prefer A and the little girl B! It's B for me for now, though at first sight, I'll pick A!

    Aren't you confused already Brian? I don't even know if I should add to it. I think the 3D effect sells better than the 2D in Cover A (as do movies nowadays). However, I think Cover A has more character. Maybe 3D characters on Cover A. Cover A's back page wins.

    I like the picture of Cover A but the font style of Cover B is much better. Cover A tells more about your story, it has the intergalactic kind of look, while cover B looks like an old map use by sailors or pirates at sea kind of thing. Is this book going to be available in our local market? or you will put it in the internet like before?
