Ignatz,
That looks great! A nice view of the ship, with the station hovering in the background. Really powerful.
I was thinking about the tagline of, "Living A Life In Outer Space". It seems superfluous on the cover. I wouldn't mind dumping it. Alternatively, if it appeared in another font and position on the cover, it might have merit. Or, maybe it could appear on the back cover in or near the blurb (which I have yet to come up with)? Right now, it seems...I don't know. Meh.
This iteration is really exciting, though. I think it's the winner for the front cover!
Attached is an image of a couple logos for Castle Hill Publishing (the name for the publishing entity for my written works) and Mixed Signals Media (the game development organization that I'm partners in). If Castle Hill can go in the lower left corner, and Mixed Signals in the upper right, I think that would look nice.

David,
Here is a first 'candidate final' for the front cover.
I've put in the logos as requested. Please check and let me know if these are OK. Do note that I ghosted them back a bit in order that they not compete with the visuals.
Cheers,

Ignatz,
The logos look good! It does seem kind of spare on the cover now, without the tag line, but maybe that's a good thing. Getting to that sweet spot for visuals can be very tricky sometimes.
Sanity Check Before We Call It Good: Does this work for you? If you came across it somewhere, would it intrigue you enough to take a second look? Ultimately, that's what this is all about.
Personally, I would take a look, but this has been more-or-less tailored to my taste, so I'm a poor judge of things in this context.
I really like it. I'm satisfied. How about you?
