Iconic Album Art/Designers

Pink Floyd - dark side of the moon

This Storm Thorgerson design for 'Dark Side of the Moon' is possibly the most iconic sleeve design in history, largely due to its simplicity. The design shows light refracting through a triangular prism, using flat colours and an inner glow on the triangle.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Peter Saville created the iconic album cover for Joy Division, it is possible one of my favourite album covers as well. Below is a video of the fascinating behind the whole album cover which is really fascinating! 

The Velvet Underground. The banana itself is, of course, the handiwork of Andy Warhol, who crafted the image and slapped it on the cover of his pet band's first record in 1967. Warhol served as the manager and patron saint of the now iconic art rock band that surprisingly sold just30,000 albums in its first five years.The original album cover allowed fans to peel back the banana skin as a sticker, revealing the fruit of a nude-coloured banana underneath. 

One of my favourite doors album covers, I love the type.
