Phil Vischer observing several different work-in-progress covers of God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?! and Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space! to approve of for their 1999 reprints.
Prototype covers were made in planning stages of but didn't make it into the final prints of various VeggieTales videos, albums and others. While most of the prototype covers were not meant to be available publicly, some of them so far have been leaked via magazines, advertisements, DVD menu features/Easter eggs, newspapers, etc. However, given by concept sketches or alternate covers for some videos such as Madame Blueberry and The Ballad of Little Joe, there may be more than one prototype cover known to exist for any specific video, album and more.
