Here is the revised version (without a gun). I was thinking of filling the negative space where the gun was with another bubble, what do you think?

I really like this design. I feel like the single large chip goes well with the Sit n' Go concept on an intuitive level, because it's one table and one of the most simple and structured forms of poker (I don't mean simple in terms of skill, but game length, phases, playing time, etc).

Here are my revisions to the Pro NLHE books. I decided to put all 3 heads on the cover. I think these look better. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing even before the gun was removed, that it will create some negative space

Hate the new PNL cover, too crowded for my taste ... but that might just be me.

Surfer, I like it w/o the gun, but understand that the space is too much (although when the book is folded as it will be, the space won't seem too much), so possible other suggestions would be just adding a SnG related key word such as ICM, or a few key words as they relate to strategy.

Hi Gelford... It's ok if you don't like a design. But let's not hate. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Roxy-- I really like your designs, but actually I think they're better with only one of the card faces. It starts getting cluttered with all three. I thought your last stab was nearly perfect.

My two cents.

To clarify, I'm talking about your PNLHE designs.

The sit'n'go cover I don't like quite as much-- for one thing, it doesn't read as a poker book fast enough-- that is, if your eye was just glancing over it, you might think it was a book about finance, or math, or something else. It's not strong enough in it's message, in my opinion. (But I love the other one you did.)

Two more cents.
