I recently stumbled upon this collection of covers redesigned for adults by a graphic artist. He has used the photography of Rodney Smith to design the covers, and has done five in total. They are all shown here in a slideshow:

I'm not so fond of all of them in their specifics, but I do think the style is completely right, and TWW is fantastic.

I prefer to the cover for The Reptile Room myself.

I was about to comment on the sophisticated edge that isn't evident in ASOUE before realizing that was the point. Well, I like the photography, and I think the layout is well planned. Not sure why the center adjective is italicized, though.

I agree with Dante; TWW's cover looks excellent.

I really like these. They have a very clean look.

Looks like a wholly different series. I love them! I wonder what TEE would look like.

I imagine that TEE would show Lemony walking or looking up a long flight of stairs.
I like these covers; they look clean and minimalist. The TWW cover is the best one, I think, but I'm not that fond of the TSS cover.

I don't much care for these. Except for some of the pictures, they layout doesn't look a bit quirky, gothic, or unfortunate. While they're well done for what they are, I just feel that they have totally the wrong mood (unless the books are in disguise).

I think the mood fits Snicket's author photographs better than they do the actual content of the books themselves, but purely from a design perspective, I think they're quite good.

I wonder what TEE would look like. Maybe it would have this image on the cover?

B. I think that image would be fitting, although maybe more so for TPP.

^^I'm not so sure about TPP, because the Denouement hotel was quite isolated.
