Journal cover for French Studies sits to the right of the text. The cover is a warm cream with a rich red uppercase font for the journal's title. A red line sits under the title and under that the table of contents is listed in a small black font. The Liverpool University Press logo sits in the left corner, it features a dark red minimalist swoosh which represents the Liver Bird, text underneath reads Liverpool University Press founded 1899. The Society for French Studies logo sits alongside. The logo is made up of a coral-coloured circle, a blue square, and a gold triangle which overlap to create a purple colour.
