I just looked at that picture of MaryAnne and Logan and Logan where Logan's hand is absolutely hillarious!
Oh and the UK covers are bad, I almost feel bad for laughing sometimes.

I wonder if the "artist" ever has been hired for anything else....

I managed to find out info on one of the artists, it seems like their was more than one. Derek Brazell, it seems like he has illustrated a couple of other children's books as well. His website is below. www.derekbrazell.com/

His website is below. www.derekbrazell.com/He must have done some of the newer UK BSC covers. He was 1000x better than the original artist.

Ah, Derek is the REALLY late artist. They used him when they started re-releasing the books from the start, in 3 book collections in the late 90s. The series was starting to die out here by this point.
Look up Mary Anne Saves the Day for a really terrible UK cover. The original person was awful! The mid series book covers weren't bad though and then the later ones (from about 55 onwards) were quite good. Colourful, anyway.

Jessi looks kinda creepy or mannish in almost all of the covers, except the special where the BSC are Jr. CIT'S. Summer Vacation, I believe. She looks like a model.

That Logan picture (looking like a "butch chick" to quote Yuffie ) is nothing what about the demented girl? with a Logan face on the original Dawn and the Big Sleepover? I (sort of) know how to scan but have no clue how to then post the image.
IMO, ITA with everyone else who has said the worst cover is Island Adventure.

Those UK covers was horrible. The super special books. Mallory look like one of those special kid rather than a babysitter. I was laughing so hard.
What's with the cartoon cover of BSC (for the new covers.)

^ I agree that it's not a flattering cover of Mallory.

Super special # 4, Babysitters Island Adventure. I thought that Kristy's hand was in front of hehr but it's really Claudia's hand that's in front of Kristy. Both she and Claudia look pretty bad.
