The album cover shows the Beatles with their arms positioned to spell out a word in [[flag semaphore]]. According to cover photographer [[Robert Freeman (photographer)|Robert Freeman]], "I had the idea of semaphore spelling out the letters 'HELP'. But when we came to do the shot, the arrangement of the arms with those letters didn't look good. So we decided to improvise and ended up with the best graphic positioning of the arms."{{sfn|Freeman|2003|p=62}}

On the UK Parlophone release, the letters formed by the Beatles appear to be "NUJV", whilst the slightly re-arranged US release on Capitol Records appeared to indicate the letters "NVUJ", with McCartney's left hand pointing to the Capitol logo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Spizer|first=Bruce|author-link=Bruce Spizer|title=The Beatles' Story on Capitol Records – Part Two: The Albums|publisher=498 Productions|year=2000|pages=88, 93}}</ref> The Capitol LP was issued in a "deluxe" [[gatefold]] sleeve with several photos from the film and was priced $1 more than standard Capitol releases at the time.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}
