This is a bit of a tired formula - blacking out words to convey your message. I guess it works but I think 007 should evoke more suspense and intrigue.

That's my first thought...

A scrambled messsage could work better.

I get just enough information from this one. It makes a good print ad where the copy is the headline. It gets my thumbs up vote.

I like it. It gets the information across in a unique way. Its nice to see the copy as the headline as the copy. I give it a thumbs up.

It's very Cold War era. I think its very wry and requires a bit of thinking. Then again, book readers are smart and should get it. Nice work.

It would be great to see how it looked in the press. I am sure it would have caught quite a few people off guard.
