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?

the first thing that came to mind was the Gadsden Flag

Why a flag?

Can you talk about the Drifter's Escape a bit?

Have you considered some sort of map theme, or perhaps railroad graffiti?

Or, if you want to go the photo route, there's a bunch of neat stock photography out there of the run-down remnants of blue highway America.

Hmm. America The Book uses an american flag in its packaging/advertising and I never heard any controversy about it.
