Fall:  The cover for Fall 2003 was both simple and complex at the same time.

The main image was that of a double-decker German commuter train car with a modified destination of "Hacker Hbf."  (This wasn't completely unbelievable, as the name "Hacker" appears throughout Germany and "Hbf" is the abbreviation for Hauptbahnhof, German for "main railway station.")

In the windows of the train are images taken from that summer's Chaos Communication Camp in Germany.

In order from left to right:

• Two shots of the Fredersdorf train station.  (The closest one to the camp.)
• The CCC sign at the entrance to the camp.
• A LEGO version of a Star Wars AT-AT walker.
• A row of t-shirts on sale at the camp that said "Fjord" with the Ford logo.
• An anti-Windows banner on one of the tents.
• A friendly camp dog.
• An espresso truck.
• One of the main speaker tents.
• A forbidding sign on a door at the train station.  ("Aufsicht")
• The lighting crew on a tower at the camp.
• The Berlin Convention Center where the annual Chaos Communication Congress was held in December (the high-rise building was where Project Blinkenlights displayed images, similar to what appeared on the Winter 2002-2003 cover).
