I like the photo, I love the logo, but I don't think it was a good idea to slap them both together on the cover.

Wow, that Silver Tongues one is great. I would blind buy that because of that cover.
What the hell does it sound like?

I'm as much a fan of modern brutalist architecture as the next chap but fortunately in real life UEA doesn't have a giant yellow clipper in the sky hanging over it like an ugly zeppelin.

Death To False Camp (Doran), Saturday, 20 August 2011 05:27 (twelve years ago) link

Not to be crass but the last few covers in here just all look like vaginas to me. Except the phallic one.

i'd say the 't' and 'e' need to chill.

nerve_pylon, Thursday, 8 September 2011 14:36 (twelve years ago) link

Toro y Moi has a similar logo (there's a cover at the beggining of this thread) and IMO did it better

V79, Thursday, 8 September 2011 14:40 (twelve years ago) link

(*beginning, oops)

V79, Thursday, 8 September 2011 14:40 (twelve years ago) link

Bookman Swash is one of my favorite fonts, but agree that the "t" and "e" sort of fuck this up.
