• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

I'm going to put new posts regarding my cover in here.

I was wondering if you wanted to share thoughts on fonts. Here are my leading three contenders:

and how this scheme could be used for part 2... i would change the brain image.. but this is the kind of color variation thats possible:

I rather like the third one, but I suspect the second one would stand out better from an advertising point of view.
 
I went with the third one and tweaked it a little:

It's live on Amazon but I'm not going to push it too hard until I get part 2 posted in a couple weeks.
 
That's a really great cover. I like the color scheme and font that you went with. I rather liked the font in the second version that you posted but this looks great too.

Thanks! Yeah I'm pretty happy with it. Has a bit of a creepy vibe.
