I think a LOT of those initial ideas are cool! Any chance a publisher will let you offer four different covers someday to stir up interest, the way certain magazines do nowadays?
If you're a luminary like Eric Carle (The Very Hungry Caterpillar etc.) certain publishers will let you redo the art for an entire book! How cool would that be to re-edition something with a new perspective 20+ years later :)
