Boxus Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) i totally agree the art is better than on elseq or exai. on the physical copy I think it looks pretty sweet. the superbright orange color of the inner sleeve works really well.

Two decades later, it is still unlike any other energy identity and symbolises a number of things – not least our greatest source of energy: the sun itself The colours of the Helios – named after the Greek god of the sun – suggest heat, light and nature. It is also a pattern of interlocking shapes: like bp, a single entity created by many different parts working as one. This was particularly relevant, as the new brand was launched after a series of mergers and acquisitions. It united all the heritage companies and employees that now make up bp and its global brand. just some free-association 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elseq was a digital release. It's hard6unfair to compare. Exai has a very sweet inner design imo. And I like the SIGN/PLUS design too. Okay, I guess nothing ever will beat Chiastic and Quaristice designs for me, but I can live with that. It's to much a first world problem for me to complain about the cover of my favourite bands next amazing album. I accept what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much simple color choices and typography can communicate. Anyway who gives a shit when the music delivers. (personally i can dig SIGN/PLUS artworks, the latter maybe even more. curious for the real printed deal) Edited October 29, 2020 by jaderpansen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you meant that meme seriously? I thought it was irony... I change your mind: SIGN = main event, first part PLUS = main event, second part Listen to them back to back. Both will open up and change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
