Cover Conundrum

I was thinking about using an American Flag as the cover for Drifter's Escape. But the flag code is pretty strict against using the flag to brand your products and, while it's not criminal, it's one of these things that I try to take seriously.

Any other cover ideas?

:D

Any cover ideas that don't involve copyright vio?

Maybe an old timey railroad ticket?

I'll let you know if anything comes across my mind.

I'm thinking about using this image: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-2966634-railway-tracks-hi-res.php

a slice from the middle so that the rail-road is cutting from the top-left to the bottom right.

That's pretty cool, though the telephone lines might make it a bit misleading in era (granted, I remember it's not locked in to a specific time period, right?)

It's modern, by default. You can play it in another time if you like.

Ah. Perfect then.

That's all right. Especially for black and white. The colors are too pretty.

Hmm... Maybe I'll try a sepia or something. It is too pretty, and looks a little too much like inspirational lit.
