The cover emblem referred to the Sword of Damocles. The sword
also represented the powerful, hard-edge sound and the band's
ability to play many types of music. Garris made the sword
double-edged to show their versatility. The iron ring represented
a piece of work being constructed (the record itself), and
the ribbons represented the Year of the Child.
