Edgy Book Cover --- Almost like an album... ('16 Edition)

On Matthew's Mind

The larger organization I work inside is Advisors Excel (http://www.advisorsexcel.com). We coach and mentor the top independent (they work for themselves, entrepreneurs, not for a big firm) financial advisors across the United States. Our clients are the best of the best, as we specifically cater to the top 0.5%. Typically they are focused on growing their own financial firm's success, presence, client base and results, as they work with the end client. I speak to and coach them through that in a variety of areas (marketing, conversion, positioning, mindset, etc).

My specific team inside the company carries an internal brand and I've moved a lot of the messaging we put out under the "On Matthew's Mind" trademark.

Every year we take the blog content I publish on http://www.matthewneuman.com and turn it into a book. This will be our 5th year & every year until now we've created the cover and content ourselves. The final book will be 6x9, so please create your cover for that size. On the cover, please also integrate the 3 capital letters OMM somehow.

We are still undertaking the content and layout.
But I'm looking for an engaging, creative, edgy BOOK COVER for this year's edition.

I spend a fair amount of time thinking through and communicating various topics on the http://www.matthewneuman.com blog each week. Readership continues to grow and the printed book each year is a highlight of the year, being able to fully leverage the time I put into this.

The book cover should NOT have a stale feel.
We want to communicate a current, modern, edgy feel to the book each year. In my mind, I picture an album cover for "On Matthew's Mind" each year. Whenever I see an album cover, I think - can we turn something like that into our book cover this year?

I attached a few files you can use. Files on me, my likeness and our current logo.
I also attached a few album covers I really like, so you can get an idea of the stuff I like. Feel free to work off these album covers or create something entirely on your own. I'm not tied just to these ideas.

Anything goes here. Feel free to be very creative and to ask me for more information, files or feedback anytime.
