Is that a Roger Moore as James Bond poster?

Clearly, for the purposes of this thread she's a serial offender.

Huh. My first thought is that it was the comic sans font that was offensive.

He surely is a legitimate heir to Bragolin and co.:
Bruno Amadio, popularly known as Bragolin, the creator of the Crying Boys.

I purchased the Haitink/LSO cycle individually as they were released. I can't say that I even noticed the covers - I had to go check I had the same issue as the ones above.  As I have said before, for me, the cover is the least important part of an album.

Someone got paid for coming up with those!

Someone who is mainly paid to design adds for cosmetics brands.  ;D
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

Haitink is one of my favorite cycles.  I only owned them digitally and never noticed the artwork.

I thought those covers were fine/nice. The LSO house label likes close-ups of textures; I think they have some Rachmaninov with snakeskin and leather.

This on the other hand...



Comic sans needs to be banned for anything except kids birthday invitations. It looks so unprofessional in any other context. 😂 This particular cover looks like a wind up that someone got approved accidentally or it was the head of marketing's last day on the job 🤷‍♂️

Funny enough comic sans was used by Fermi Lab in their announcement about the Higgs boson!  Which is one of the greatest discoveries in Physics.

The bastards 😂

That is quite funny though...

I was just imagining what some other famous album covers would look like if you put MUSIC! on them in Comic Sans. That's my favorite part of that cover. Like, "hey, I wonder what's on this, I wish there was a very clear label saying if this is music or not."  ;D

Less so CD I grant you but for LP cover art is immensely important.
