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?

It's non-controversial.

The use of the flag in advertising is protected by the 1st amendment. The flag code is a non-binding group of suggestions for citizens who wish to treat the flag with due respect. As a citizen, I wish to treat the flag with due respect, so I'm sticking to the flag code.

Oh okay. More power to you.

I think the dark illustration of someone's back might work well - It says 'mysterious' and 'stranger', so it communicates the drifter part, but it also says 'put yourself here'.
