There are four different versions of the cover art. The first release has a red cross on the nurse's hat and a capital B in the Blink-182 logo. The band preferred the lower-case b in the band name, and the second version features the red cross and a lower-case b.<ref name="enemacover"/> In a [[Reddit]] comment on June 2, 2013, Blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus stated that the [[American Red Cross]] pressured the band to remove the red cross from their artwork, stating that if they did not, they would be in violation of the [[Geneva Conventions]]. The band complied and, thus, the third iteration of the album cover features a plain white nurse's hat.<ref name="enemacover">{{cite web |url=http://news.radio.com/2013/06/03/the-story-behind-blink-182s-enema-of-the-state-album-cover/ |title=The Story Behind Blink-182's ''Enema Of The State'' Album Cover |website=Radio.com |publisher=CBS Local Media |date=June 3, 2013 |access-date=August 1, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810022138/http://news.radio.com/2013/06/03/the-story-behind-blink-182s-enema-of-the-state-album-cover/ |archive-date=August 10, 2013}}</ref> This third version is the only version to bear a [[Parental Advisory]] label for profane lyrics in "Dumpweed" and "Dysentery Gary." A fourth version, released only in Malaysia, features edited pictures on both the front and rear covers. Janine's cleavage has been edited out, with her instead appearing to be wearing a red t-shirt. Then on the rear there have been clothes edited onto the band members. This version also bears the red cross on the nurse's hat. Hoppus said the controversy some had with the cover was exaggerated as "it is just a picture of a girl."<ref name="bb11">{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mggEAAAAMBAJ&q=what%27s+my+age+again+billboard&pg=PA99 |title=The Modern Age |author=Bell, Carrie |date=August 14, 1999 |volume=111 |issue=33 |page=99 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=June 1, 2014}}</ref> Art direction for the album was headed by Tim Stedman, with Stedman and graphic designer Keith Tamashiro designing the package.<ref name="linernotes"/> The album cover has since been called iconic by many publications.<ref name="MTV influence"/><ref name="huff"/> In 2015, ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' ranked the cover among the top 15 "greatest of all-time," calling it "an image that was burned into the mind of every ''[[Total Request Live|TRL]]'' viewer, one that became instantly iconic."<ref name="bb15.1">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/photos/6715351/best-album-covers-of-all-time/39 |title=The 50 Greatest Album Covers of All Time |date=November 12, 2015 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=November 12, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151116001335/http://www.billboard.com/photos/6715351/best-album-covers-of-all-time/39 |archive-date=November 16, 2015}}</ref>
