Ritz Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Skull representing 'Death of the DJ'. Bang on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarina. Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 But they're all capital-styled letters even if they're technically the lower-case letters in that particular font. The I even has the horizontal things/serifs on top and bottom, which emphasizes the unnecessary x even more. I just think it looks weird. I won't lie awake about it at night or anything, it's just a detail, but still. Yeah I totally get what you mean! Forgot to add that to my post. It does look weird when you think about that. Apparently whoever designed this wanted to use capital letters for both that and the lower case letters. I like the font though, it fits the theme for "Kill the DJ".

WalkingContradictionPL Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 When I saw it in the morning I just log out from facebook and put phone in my bag 'cause I was dissapointed with skulls. I don't like any! But I was a bit happy that they don't have ponytails. But after som time I realised that there are maybe a symbol for death of the DJ. And It's quite logical for me and I like now the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I really love it, I love the designs of all their new artwork, really seems to represent the feel of these new albums very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocee Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I did not even notice the x above the i until now How the hell did I miss that? I must have been over-excited or something Me too! Well, the “x” doesn't matter so much, I wanna hear the song (as everyone here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green day is Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Artwork with the "I" fixed + the parental warning removed. Amazing! I didn't mind the parental warning, but still, it looks so much better without the X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I really like the themes going on in the artwork for everything they released in this era. It's bright and colorful....kind of reminds me of something from the 80s. It's sort of refreshing I guess. And it's definitely different for GD. If Kill the DJ is the song that was featured in the pre-order video...I think....then I can't wait to fully hear it. Does anyone know if they're releasing the singles physically, like on a disc?

Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Are people seriously complaining about X over the I ? This is a thread about the artwork. It's not that weird to discuss the typography, which is undeniably an important factor in the overall artwork, even if it's just a detail. If you have a better subject to talk about that isn't complaining about the thread, be my guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a better subject to talk about that isn't complaining about the thread, be my guest. Sure, we can speculate which brand the boombox in the artwork might be? My bet goes to JVC. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcasm Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I didn't even see the x'es until people started throwing shit about it. Why is it such a big deal? It's some pixels on a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendepent Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Amazing! I didn't mind the parental warning, but still, it looks so much better without the X. I have to agree with you. Even is a very little detail, changes a lot the cover. Anyway, I like it more than Oh Love cover. I hope that they release some studio b-sides with this one. And if they include live tracks, please, more rarities than just always-played songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I much prefer the actual cover as opposed to the fan edits. I think the x's are a cool staple of this era, and really work on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyDirnt Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, I'm hoping for some live recording on I Was There live @ Costa Rica 2009. Only time they performed that since 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's some pixels on a cover. No one threw shit about it, some people just mentioned it. It wasn't a big deal all til people complaining about the x-discussion made it one. So I don't know why this is such a problem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarina. Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Honestly though, unless it's very pointless, discussions like this are only a big deal once people start making posts asking why it's "a big deal" etc. If you don't like what's being discussed, talk about something else or don't post anything.. I know there's not much to talk about now because this thread is only for the artwork. At least we can talk about something now instead of "I like/dislike the artwork"! Now.. isn't it interesting the font colour is green while the Tré theme is blue with a yellow font, while it's a Uno single? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
