The front cover is printed in black on buff=coloured paper. At left is a herm with a drawn bow and arrow.

Laurence Housman designed the front cover of The Venture (vol. 1) as an homage to first cover of The Dial, designed by Charles Ricketts and engraved by Charles Shannon in 1889. Housman co-edited volume 1 of The Venture with Somerset Maugham. He also contributeda his fanciful "Proverbial Romances" to the volume's literary pieces and his title page design for his new collection of fairy tales, The Blue Moon to its artwork.
