The cover design is done by Mike Kostabi, who took out a piece of the painting titled "La scuola di Atene" (which can be translated to Athens School) and edited it. The original picture was drawn by Raffaello Sanzio, in 1509-10, and you can see Platon and Aristotle on the picture

Both of Mark Kostabi's parents were estonians. That's just some random fact nobody probably cares  :hihi:
