What happened to the understated lower case of TBWTAS? Or the compact captals (Impact perhaps?) of IYAFS? Perhaps the worst offender was the the florid handwriting font sported by 'Dog On Wheels', which made it look a little like an Interflora advert.
I'm not asking for a bog-standard 48pt helvetica italic logo like Oasis', just a bit of typographical consistency and record sleeves which don't add too much fuel to the lazy 'they're the new Smiths, you > know' theory.
I have to disagree 100% with this. When I look at the record sleeves, they all begin to appear like book covers to me. I don't know what it is about them, really. Well, all except 369. Personally I'm glad that Andy Symington isn't so boring as to use the same font on every cover. I'm also pleased he uses different colors, and different photographs. I suppose ALL of them could be identical, except the names of the songs. That would make me very unhappy. /"\_/"\_/"\ Mick McMick - bp224995@oak.cats.ohiou.edu - ICQ#5056758 \ / Sandcastle Records - (same e-mail for now) | | Sandcastle Homepage - | | http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Amphitheatre/4972/ | | "I am always wishing to make people | | in the world happy with my smiles." | | - Mr. Friendly +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
