Thanks for your Feedback -- We've updated the Safe/Spicy Indicator on the Covers!

Safe vs. Spicy Edition Indicator
We've gotten feedback from a handful of backers that our original indicator of "Safe" vs. "Spicy" Edition comic on the comic covers wasn't working for them. These backers (correctly) pointed out that the big black bar at the top of the cover was an eyesore and took away from the beautiful cover art.
We always appreciate backer feedback, so we've made the following changes!
For covers that do not feature nudity in the cover art, we've implemented a more subtle "Spicy Edition" indicator above the creator credits.
NEW Spicy Indicator for Covers that do not feature nudity
This compared to the previously more obvious/obstructive indicator shown below.
OLD Spicy indicator, no longer in use
Additionally, we previously included the "Spicy Edition" black bar on all Spicy Edition covers. But thanks to backer suggestion, we've decided to not include the icon at all for covers that feature nudity. We believe that nudity on the cover art will be a clear enough indicator by itself that you're looking at the Spicy Edition of the comic.
Covers featuring Nudity are ONLY available for Spicy Edition, so we don't need an additional indicator on them
This is in the interest of covering as little of the cover art as necessary to let all the beautiful art show for itself. For reference, the OLD version below.
OLD Spicy Indicator for covers featuring nudity
Note: we may also opt to use a different Back Cover to the comic (i.e. Red for Spicy, another color for Safe) when we get a little closer to completing the comic. That will hopefully make keeping the Editions distinct even easier without cluttering the cover art. But we'll make that determination at a later point.
Thank you all again for the feedback! We truly value the collaborative relationship between creators and readers, so we always encourage backers to reach out if they have some concerns about any part of our process.

Spicy Cover Change
We've gotten feedback that backers do not like the Black Bar across the top of the cover. So we'll be implementing a more subtle way to denote "Safe" vs. "Spicy" Edition on the cover. We'll be sure to announce the new design in a Project Update once we nail it down. Appreciate the feedback!
