I actually really like it--it's got a really cool classic, vintage vibe and it's pretty elegant in its simplicity. I also really like the colors. They're unusual, but they work well together.
I know some of you don't like it, but let's be honest here...does it really NEED a cover? No. Because we're all going to read it anyway.
The Casual Vacancy will be out September 27th, 2012!
What do you all think?

YAY! YAY! YAY!
I don't like it, but ... I can understand why they went this way. This is not a book cover so much as it is an icon, a logo, a symbol. It's distinctive, and you'll be able to know who's reading this book from well across the room. Smart of them! Still, did it have to be ... soooo ... blerg?
Oh gosh, I saw it in Goodreads, and I have to say, I dislike it with a passion T__T
It does have a vintage feel, as you say, but I'm not wild over the color scheme!
:D
Still, looking forward to the book.
Ooh I do like the old-fashioned vibe it has. I really like it! I'd totally read anything JK wrote, you're right. :)

I like that it's super different from HP but what I loved about those covers was all the detail-this one is so plain. Not that it needs help to attract attention beyond highlighting the author's name :)
Gryffindor colors :D
...oh, wait, the intention was to separate The Casual Vacancy from the Potter-verse?
I don't have any problems with the cover, mostly because I'm just squee that she's writing another book. Plus it's an adult book, so this cover sets it apart from Potter...And I also agree with Dalya Moon, the point is probably visibility over everything else.
