@ ekloef: that cover design is by Storm Thorgerson, a.k.a. the founder of Hipgnosis - the ones who did all the famous covers for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Alan Parsons etc. etc. etc. . Storm is not extraneous at all to recycling his designs, or in giving them to different people, as long as people pay him to use the image. He says this in his latest book, The Raging Storn. He also says that his studios, rather than the artists, own the copyright to the images, so any artist is free to re-use them. It's not ripping-off or anything like that. However, on the other hand, there are Thorgerson-designed images whose copyright is actually owned by the artists: this is the case of all the images he made for Pink Floyd and Muse. Which, indeed, are unique.
