As I was working on the blue design, my objective was to make the word "JOY" stand out most. I knew I was sacrificing the brightness of the "Clearing a Path to..." text to get a shining effect for "Joy."

This cover has gone in a number of directions during my design experiments, including this little orange number from early 2021 (below). But the style of the lettering was already set years ago and I ultimately chose to stick with that.

(P.S. Great that we're talking about this aspect of booking, too. So much info flying around - including the greyscale situation; it's all good to know.)
