gudbuytjane Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Who here remembers 1970's album cover designers Hipgnosis? I feel like the impact they had on album cover design helped shaped the look of the decade. When I think of iconic rock images so many of them are Hipgnosis designs (T. Rex's Electric Warrior, Houses of the Holy, Dark Side of The Moon, amont many). Here are some cover galleries: http://www.hipgnosiscovers.com/http://wimwords.com/the-hipgnosis-album-cover-gallery/ http://bestbongreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/The-Dark-Side-of-the-Moon.pnghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ka/b/b9/Led-Zeppelin-Presence-171441.jpghttp://www.macca-central.com/albums/venusandmars/cover_large.jpghttp://musicmp3spb.org/images/g/genesis/fthe_lamb_l0a9614b22923c9ff4a493a.jpg So many iconic images... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I always thought Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here was an interesting one. But yeah, I think Presence takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
