I voted for option 2, although your friend's covers would have garnered my second vote.

Those look too much like d20 books. I'm not sure why.

they look way too fantasy-oriented to me, and not generic enough to be the core GURPS rulebook.

i actually liked the design Buzz worked up in the other GURPS thread; too bad it wasn't one of the final four.

Yes. WAAAAAAAY too fantasy oriented for GURPS. Other than the superimposed images, it looks okay. But, I have to ask--whats the big "glyph" in the center?

It's a modernization of the famous egyptian hieroglyph.

Well, dang. Voting is already closed? That was quick.

I liked #2 and #4 best, myself.

Looks like the first design one, judging by what they show on the page talking about the rulebooks. I do agree the other one was too fantasy oriented. GURPS really needs to be generic - the best GURPS cover ought to have: fantasy element, space-future element, modern-spy element, and then at least one other thrown in for good measure - perhaps 1930s horror element. With pyramids or something. That would be the proper feel, AFAIAK.

The udjat eye, or eye of Horus, with some liberties.

Boris agrees that it'd be better for GURPS Magic. But I warned him about the contest at the last moment, which means he had only a few hours to come up with a design, realize it and send it.
