Going for a Saul Bass vibe here, all overlapping lines and roughly cut letters, as well as hard contrast on the images, giving it a movie title sequence look with various ‘scenes’ from the individual tracks featured. In my opinion the front graphic works best as an oblong, see the poster design for it, also for some reason we did a meter long shop poster for the release, possibly because the Herbaliser logo was long and thin for this album.
