The cover of The Visitors by Gary Burton and Kirill Gerstein, featuring the music of Chick Corea. A darkened room frames a window through which a moonlit night is visible. The full moon, partially veiled by clouds, casts a subtle glow over a leafy tree just outside. Shadows and reflections play across the walls and glass.

The album cover for The Hemulic Voluntary Band features four anthropomorphic, mole-like creatures dressed in white robes, each playing a different musical instrument—keyboard, electric guitar, drum, and mandolin. They stand in front of a moss-covered stone wall, beneath a banner bearing the album title in stylized medieval lettering. The foreground is filled with mushrooms and plants, while a twilight sky and murky pond complete the scene. The artwork is signed by illustrator Javier Herbozo.
