Just looks like some random, abstract design to me. That works!


Can't tell if there's enough design there for it to be an abstract one lol Thanks!

That works!"
Thanks1


I don't know if the shapes are supposed to represent something. Thanks."
Sorry, Julia, that appears to be a pomegranate.


No, sorry, that's not abstract. It's a cross at the hilt of a sword or staff.


Looks like blocks of color to me. That works.


No, sorry, there's an identifiable building and crane on the cover.
For this task, you're looking for something that has no identifiable, namable equivalent in the real world. Does that help at all?


No, sorry, the heart shape knocks it out of the abstract category.


No, sorry, there appears to be a fingerprint above the letter I.


I think I saw previously that the company penguin logo isn't considered to be part of the cover.
If this isn't the rule then I can use the book in another task which has an option for a bird on the cover - so either way I can use the book.

I'll find a home for it if i read it :-)
So just to confirm a company logo is considered to be part of the cover? I'm just triple checking because I seem to recall seeing a book being rejected previously with the ruling that a publisher's logo didn't count as a valid image. I just don't want to trip over this sometime in the future and wind up on the wall that shall not be named :-)

It depends on the task and the task creator. Some ignore design elements, such as the publisher's logo, and others don't. We try to have that all spelled out in the task itself (especially if it is to be ignored). Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't... ;-)
