There are two covers for the game.
In the eyes of most people that ever owned and played an original copy of Icicle Works the game never had a pictured cover, they had the Plus/4 Entertainment Cassette bundle release. This release is also one of the most common games for sale on ebay.co.uk for C16/Plus4.
To these people the face of Icicle Works is in fact the brick wall title screen and the rolling demo. 
The Multi Soft release which is regarded as the official retail version must of had a very limited run as like Treasure Island it doesn't show up for sale very often. It is largely unknown so has no real sentimental value to the game it's self, Doug might argue this and rightly so but to most it's more a picture that people would associate with some 15++ years later, once they got online. 
While it might be one of the best loved games on a Plus/4, the game was also released on the C64 so there will be a small fan base for that system. It might also be worth asking on Lemon64 for support as the C64 scene is a lot bigger meaning more people will see and maybe hopefully help with your GFX requirements.
