Benedict Cumberbatch and Yek came close too but were both let down by the typography IMHO.

At first I thought you were going to pull some wireframe-glasses and goatee-beard move and criticise my incorrect use of graphic design terminology, then I actually read the first post in the thread.

But might I add that chaning the typography of some of these would totally ruin their shit, ie IDRN's strong effort which I mainly liked BECAUSE of the typeface. OK if you want your Futonic Records logo appearing in its correct form, but surely the text of the title should be integrated properly into the design of the cover?

but the font and placement are part of the design submitted. saying you're gong to change that? might as well change the bg too

 

 

i voted for stoppits. sorry pigster.

There were about 60 total images. There had to be some trimming. Every single one of the images in the submission thread were considered. None of them were overlooked. The one's in the poll are the results of sifting through all the images and choosing the "closest fits" to futonic style, and also originality. There are some images that became favorites in the submission thread, but are obviously not here.

 

 

And yes, zazen is correct, the fonts/text will be changed at discretion. Some of the images text look fine the way they are, others need a little tweaking, but keeping with the original concept of the artwork :)

here's the one that should have made the cut, oh well. Yek's marked x one and stoppit's are the best out of the remainder, but i'm not going to vote now

Just to put an end to questions. The reason it wasn't selected as a finalist is because even if it had the most votes, it would have been vetoed and the runner up (most likely) would have been chosen. Regardless of how good it may be to some of you, and no matter how much community support it has, it would never be the cover. So it would be a waste of votes.

What? That makes no sense, if I'm understanding what you're saying correctly.
