Yes, indeed, a line break is often used on a cover as a separator, which becomes a colon when written inline (see this literary example ). This is typically an indication that the part before the colon and the part after the colon are not part of the same phrase/sentence.

But let us examine the visual evidence. First of all, it should be noted that the provided Dominion image is a cover for a part of the story. So comparing it with CD covers of Project: stories is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. But even so. To the right is the closest image I could find, the cover of Project: Destiny. Here "Destiny" is on the second line, but the colon is retained. Secondly, "Project:" and "Destiny" are typed in the same font and the same size. As opposed to that, the colon between "UNIT" and "Dominion" is removed when "Dominion" is on a separate line, and "UNIT" is typed in a font that is much larger and boldface.
