I really like the designs, but I think the FONT is too much for a PSB release. They always use 'Times new roman' and/or 'Arial' don't they?

(I love Arial!)

I create my own FONT in Corel 12, not Arial or smth. else.
I think PSB should change their style.

I really lke the black version too, especially if the lettering on the case is raised like it looks; very "Very", you know?

The font is a little hard to read, but if it was ''thickened" up a bit, or maybe the spacing changed a smidge, you'd have it down to perfection Parkol !
PERFECTION I SAY!!! :D

I hope I don’t need to explain what I wanted to say on the cover.
We all know what I'm with stupid is about.

Not necessarily - Nightlife album/singles (except for Drunk) hadn't a typical font (front cover), and the same about some Release releases. Also Somewhere.

Designs in this thread look well!

Yeah but not many people liked the font on Nightlife.

These designs have some good ideas but would look much better if the font was a bit more understated and timeless.

I quite like the I'm With Stupid graphics.

By seeing the new press picture we can expect something black and "minimal" :wink:

I think the artworks look much better than the original of Release, for example.

I adored EVERYTHING about the Nightlife project - one of their best IMO. The font worked perfectly on the album cover...

I liked the cover for Nightlife and much of the artwork. I just wasn't too keen on the font, but I'm just being anal. :)
