the 'two wings' one is especially bad because i really had to study the stupid little naked people to figure out what letters they were representing

Maybe there should be a general thread for naked people font but here is my favourite (obviously not very recent):

Good call Nick, was thinking the same thing about the cover connect. That Bongwater album is all time classic.

being a pedant, but re: that dave dub cover, it looks like hand-lettered text, not type

nowhere near as good as the new one, though
It's hilarious isn't it? I like the build up of different visual planes too, and the wetness of the window and the greeness behind is just lovely.

Wait, why smart as hell? I like it and everything, but am I missing something? Conjures the last Mark McGuire LP for the background, anyway...
