The Criterion site added The Life Aquatic to their Coming Soon section with different cover art than we have seen so far. It does look like they are releasing both a single and two disc version. I'm not sure which the cover they are showing is for. It looks like this is the reversible artwork that people were wondering about.

Hmm interesting. I don't know who's gonna go for the one disc anyways, if the projected prices hold through on the market, why not pay an extra $3 for the second disc?

Just to be clear on the Criterion Life Aquatic artwork:
On the 2-disc set, the first picture is the artwork for the cardboard slipcase; the second is for the inner Digipak:
On the 1-disc edition, artwork nearly identical to the above (see this DVD Times article) will appear on a reversible cover for the keepcase.
Touchstone/Buena Vista (who will be distributing both editions) dictated the first cover, and also set the pricing; Criterion chose the second cover (by the director's brother, Eric), and is responsible for the content.
