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 a portrait image, 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.
