Okay, maybe they did not read my blog, but they surely removed the sign. Nice. Maybe it was the voice of the web speaking, like in the Tropicana design recall.

I agree with you to leave our personal tastes out of it, but even then, basing it on the opinion of a design professional, it is quite an unfortunate design that evokes a young and trashy SoCal band, not a top electronica act that sold millions of 'records' and has impressed with its eye for graphic design sophistication in the past. Just like you and I sometimes have to step into far-from-perfect, pre-defined, design guides and regulations and we still find a way to make something great out of it, so will the several creative teams working with the pre-defined Corbjin brand find a way to do the same. It is fun to watch, for sure. Yes, fun to listen to as well, but i will not comment on the disappointing Thin White Duke (also knows as: Stuart David Price, Les Rythmes Digitales, Basic Zoot Woman, Paper Faces, Man With Guitar, Jacques Lu Cont, Pour Homme, S.D.P.) Remix of 'Wrong', that would just take it way too far for this blog.

I’m saving judgment until after I listen to the entire album and see the concert. I’m curious to see how this graphic imagery is played out …maybe they want a strong reaction. Judging from the video for wrong that seems to be the direction they are headed in. Taking a class with Ania one of the most important things I learned was creating something for the vision/message and not for my own personal taste. So I will not judge until i have seen and experienced the entire artistic vision.
