IDK if this was always known, but I just RECENTLY realized that the i dot on Rain is a raindrop.

Anyone else never noticed b4?

Wow... Have a lot of spare time on your hands?!

Er, yeah... I think most people noticed that back in 1984 when it was released.

Never really noticed.hmmm. thanks for posting.

Thanks for pointing that out -- I never noticed it either!

Just like that "stylised penis" on the 1999 cover

Out of curiosity, are there any more Prince album-cover Easter eggs?

I never payed much attention to the raindrop dotted i in Purple Rain, but that penis on the 1999 cover didn't escape me.

i just now noticed that the smoke behind him is in the shape of a heart.

Can U find the arrow in the Fed Ex Logo?

^ That I never noticed. I've seen the FedEx logo a zillion times too.

I never noticed the raindrop or heart. I was to busy listening to the music. It could also be a teardrop.

I see the arrow, but isn't it kind of redundant to say "Fedex Express" when un-abbreviated it would be "Federal Express Express" ???

Like MPLSound should be MPLSSound, because otherwise it is MPLS ound or MPL sound.

I just noticed the title of the album looks like "Purple Pain"
