This cover was made to direct the eye to the "This is Your College". The original critique was that it had become to busy (the blue design). The other with arrows was weak and looked incomplete. I might consider changing the photos perhaps more active.

I like this better, the images are clear and upbeat. They give direction. The emphasis is "This is your college" The color helps to pop the images. It keeps the simplicity of the original image without being boring or lacking.
