We know

Artists or our site are not credited on covers.
Artists are credited on download page.
I / we don't want credits on the covers, not even small ones.

But we need confirmation from Cover Admins on that.

Technically we have no policy against adding your name in some unidentifiable place and i'm sure we host covers today with artist names snuck in. I'll leave it to the community to determine a stance on this as it's usually invisible to the eye when printed.
UncleBob:
Here's how I feel about an artist signing his/her cover - if I have to choose between a cover with a simple "Created by" text somewhere on the cover vs. not having a cover AT ALL, I'd rather have the cover.  Every time.  Can anyone explain to me what's wrong with that?

<devil's advocate>

What if the artist's name was 'fuckface'?  Would you still print out a cover with the words, 'Created by fuckface' on it?  ;D
