I do happen to be a graphic designer :) I used Freehand 7 to redraw the AFX logo...and I put a circle around it, so it looks very similar to the cover of SAW '85-'92...the circle (going down) has a white to black gradient. And the logo (going down) has a black to white gradient. On the inside will be a complete tracklisting, and it will all look very neat and clean because I'm taking it down to the local kinko's to be laser-printed. It will still be in black-andwhite and rather simple (because of the cost) but it will definitely be adequate :)

It will be printed directly to a Docutech (High quality digital copier) and printed double-sided on white cardstock. Now you know.
