Help me decide on the new cover for 30 Bangs

I'm into #3 though I'd hold #4 as a close second.
I did like the "original" cover but I guess it would have looked funny out in the open.

I cast my ballot. Those are some pretty nice designs that really convey the theme of the book.

#3 is the boldest, clearest and the one most in keeping with your overall branding. Simple with the information on the back laid out in a nice easy to read format.
#4 is a close second, it's less literal (I like the bullets theme) and also nice and bold.
#5 reminds me of a Malcolm Gladwell book but doesn't work as well.
#1 is nice, but doesn't pack the same punch as #3 - the colour scheme is all over the place and the woman's hair over the title unbalances it.

Definitely #3.
#5 looks like one of those WarriorForum products and only one girl's face. #4 is ok but I don't like the revolver analogy.

I think # 4 has the best front cover (backside is not so interesting), clearly the most attractive, and the one which would probably garantee more sales
But # 3 has best overall design.

I like the subtiltle of this book : "from patient mouse to rabid wolf". It could've been nice to have a book design using something similar to the famous "march of progress" evolution graphic. But replacing the chimp by a mouse, and the man by a wolf.
Anyway, #3 and #4 are winners.

# 3 for me. #4 seems a little cheesy.

#3 would be the best for marketing
#4 is the coolest art

I like #3. It makes you think for a minute before you realize that it's a little dehumanizing. Kind of like assigning the girls an ID number rather than a name. Only issue I noticed was the description of lizards number 1 and 3 on the back cover. They're the same.
I would not go with number 4 unless you want the SPLC, NOW, and whomever else with an ax to grind, breathing heavily down your neck.

#4 is way too literal.
"Bang" = Gun/Bullets
I'm not sure who came up with the concept, but the book is better than that rather uncreative A-to-A relationship. I'm starting to think #5 or #2 are better runner-ups to the clear favorite: #3.
