To separate the image picking from the vote to launch, I'm moving image picking over here. Where we left off, we were given:
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NlQJB2ThL.jpg
as candidates, and I stated I prefer the first image.
Community consensus was to use a Berenstain Bears image, with a noticeable minority suggesting we make a new image.

I prefer the first one too in all honesty. My priority was giving some points of comparison.
Looks like we have clear consensus for the first image. Now someone who knows a bit more about the licensing of that image needs to upload it.
Agree. If necessary, I can draw or paint a copyright-friendly version of Collectible Cloney Babies over the weekend since I watercolor.
That would be so much cooler than ripping an image off the internet. Please do!
As long as we have the source URL and the name of the rights holder -- the Berenstains and/or whoever their publisher is -- Fair Use/Fair Dealing will be sufficient for licensing.
We do have the source URL from Random House, and the Berenstains plus HarperCollins (source: https://www.harpercollins.com/collections/books-series-berenstain-bears#:~:text=Books%20in%20series%20Berenstain%20Bears%20%E2%80%93%20HarperCollins. ) owns the series.
While I would prefer our own watercolour painting, the community has made one thing very clear: use the first image. That image has been uploaded and is now the page image (with appropriate licensing information, of course).
