 The cover art of Black Ice was drawn by Joshua Marc Levy , art director for Columbia and a longtime fan of the band who volunteered for the project among " many people at Sony who desired to work on it " . There are four different covers , the standard edition has a red logo , the deluxe edition has a blue logo and two variants to the regular design include yellow or white logos . Angus said the options were not to deliver the message that fans would need to purchase all covers . He said , " We know most people will only purchase the record once , in their colour of choice . For me , it 's not relevant . What matters is that fans enjoy it . Music is the essence . "
