I am afraid I will have to buck the consensus and say I do not like the cover all that much. As striking and clean as the masthead is, and as much as I love the background blue, I find those lead headlines unnervingly overpowering. I appreciate a hierarchy of content as much as the next man, but this is sheer boastfulness. Fair enough, I do not always agree with Hobrook anyhow, but if he insists on "shouting" from the cover like that, I am bound to get on my high horse too ... I could go on ...

The FA cover is remarkable. From working with CFR I'd just add that it was updated in the last year or two by Pentagram, removing faux mottled blue and some strange dated bits. The new, bolder typography and strong rules reinforce the stature, capture readership at the newsstand, and yet hold the stubborn classicism as most magazines do not. No cover photo, only the addition of red highlights. All of this blandness and it's the leading title in the genre at B&N. Cheers, Aaron. I totally agree. The FA cover is remarkable.
