While the cover designer for this paperback is unclear, the interior states “designed by Robin Fox”. The cover shows similarities to the work of Alvin Lustig. Perhaps Lustig’s work for Noonday in the 1950s set the tone for the publisher which was followed by this designer.

See Volta + herring. Also, I wonder what came first, the logo of Farrar, Straus and Cudahy (later Giroux), or the one for Fischer Bücherei (Wolf D. Zimmermann, 1952).
