4) Another possibility is to put a big but very pale "3"
somewhere on the title page. Perhaps in the background like a
watermark, so it's obvious but doesn't obscure other elements on
the page. At this point I don't have any idea if that would work
visually or just make a mess of the page. (This is my least
favourite idea.)
The watermark '3' has an attractive subtlety to me and would be
very easy to implement. It would also lend itself to later version
numbers without needing to change the inherent style of the
documents.
A crude example of what I was thinking. If it meets with approval I will
obviously make a better fist of it.
