==Artwork==
The album's sleeve was designed and illustrated by English artist [[Roger Dean (artist)|Roger Dean]], who had designed artwork for the band since 1971, including their logo. In his 1975 book ''Views'', Dean picked the cover as his favourite for Yes, and the recording he enjoyed the most. He revealed his intention of depicting "a giant 'gothic' cave" for the sleeve, "a sort of fortified city for military monks".{{sfn|Capalbo|Dean|Hamilton|1975|p=112}} The painting originated from a watercolour sketch Dean had done while studying in college.<ref name=M20/> Speaking about the cover in 2004, he said: "I was playing with the ideas of the ultimate castle, the ultimate wall of a fortified city. That was more of a fantastical idea. I was looking for the kinds of things like the [[Knights Templar]] would have made or what you'd see in the current movie ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|Lord of the Rings]]''. The curving, swirling cantilevers right into space."<ref>{{Cite news|title=Roger Dean: The artist behind the music|first=Jeri|last=Rowe|date=23 April 2004|newspaper=Greensboro News-Record}}</ref> The images depicted in many of Dean's album covers set an otherworldly tone and are an identifiable part of the band's visual style. For ''Relayer'', the warriors on horseback reflect the lyrical themes of war present in "The Gates of Delirium".{{sfn|Martin|1996|pp=163-164}} The sleeve includes an untitled four-stanza poem by writer Donald Lehmkuhl dated October 1974, and features a band photograph taken by Moraz's former Mainhorse bandmate, Jean Ristori.{{refn|group="nb"|name=ukvinyl}} The album's CD reissue features two additional paintings, and further unused designs are included in Dean's 2008 book ''Dragon's Dream''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nfte.org/interviews/rd308.html|title=NFTE #308: Conversation with Roger Dean from 3 September 2008|publisher=Notes from the Edge|first=Mike|last=Tiano|year=2008|access-date=29 August 2015}}</ref> At the [[List of NME Award winners#NME Awards 1975|1975 edition]] of the [[NME Awards]], the album won Best Dressed LP.

Dean has said that "The Gates of Delirium" may be his favourite Yes track and that he felt the album should have been named after it.<ref>{{Citation|title=Roger Dean and Geoff Downes in Conversation| date=23 November 2020 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KybT1T0CKtA|access-date=14 April 2023|language=de-DE}}</ref> By 2020, the painting had been on sale for $6 million.<ref name=M20>{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/mutualart/topographies-of-the-imagination-roger-dean-and-the-gates-of-delirium-4374fc807d38|title=Topographies of the Imagination: Roger Dean and the Gates of Delirium|publisher=Medium|date=3 May 2020|access-date=11 June 2021}}</ref>
