The spooky room one, to me, doesn't really fit the music...it feels more like a Led Zeppelin CD cover, a more rock and guitar vibe (at least to me). Love the photo, tho.

nod I like the moon one too by itself but on the rack it just disappears.

I thought the same thing..lol lol...although the moon one is a liiittle too generic to me. It could be the CD cover for hundreds of different types of CDs...

Here are a few I did...I'm considering these for the insides







If those images are going in the inside, then this cover would seem to fit well:





I'm not crazy about the image as the CD cover lol, but it does fit well. nod

ok here are some of the submissions...




This one is the best so far to my eyes. Maybe the colours should be adjusted, but it's alright for a small release. I think the SC logo that you have is better for, say, a promotional (CD-R?) single release or something. But it's alright too.

I'd like to see some submissions with less gaudish colours myself.

I guess everyone is looking for more toned down colors but, I really like this one... I like some of the others. They seem like they are missing something though.

Shake....shake, shake, shake.

I'm not going to make any comments yet since I'm participating in the contest, but I am starting to get curious to know what Bob thinks? Are the results going to be posted any time soon?

OK here my initial thoughts....



This has been getting a lot of good responses so far. It does convey the right feel to the music. I like this one.



This one too. But As others have mentioned, it kinda doesn’t go with the feel of the music.




I like this one a lot. If it were to be used, we may need to change a few things on it.



Also got a few nods. It’s a bit abstract for me.



A bit too much. But it got mentioned and someone even tried changing the colors, but it still looked a bit busy. Good design though.



I Liked this one too.



A few liked this one but wanted to know what the thing floating was? A pot roast? This has mystified my friends.


Good work everyone. I still need to talk to my music partner and see which he really likes and/or wants to use. He hasn’t really warmed up to any, yet has no ideas of his own…quite frustrating. I get the feeling that if I wasn’t involved in the process, a decision could be made. So, even though a “winner” will be pick, I do not know the likely hood of it’s inclusion in anything we do. Right now, he’s wanting to test out the album…make another ep… So we finished the album last week. MINOR tweeks and an intro needs to happen, but we're holding off on taking it further and spending money, unless it becomes worthwhile. We'll probably press them ourselves at first.

My guess…I’ll want to use one of these (or a derivative of) for the ep we are discussing. I’m also going to try and take my favorites and give them to a graphic designer I know to see what he can come up with…font and design wise. I may be asking for some of these in good quality without fonts from some of you.

again…thanks and stay tuned for a winner to be announced.

I had a go, the image is royalty free and I liked it a lot and added some tweaks and filters.





...

decided to keep the overall look fairly simple.

Both of LleeLlee's designs are great! (the fonts should be changed a bit but they're fantastic otherwise)

But are they the right size?
