Idk...I kinda like the font.
Anyone has these fonts? U2 is Subito but I can't figure out what the other one is...
Swiss 721 Black Condensed comes pretty close. That's what I used for my new avatar anyway.
Wow, you are really hung up on this non issue aren't you?
They have probably already started printing, and there is no "discovery" that it's been used before, I'm 95% sure they knew in advance. When buying the rights to the artwork, I'm pretty sure this was discussed...
It looks like U2 HAS changed the artwork.
I'm still not sure why you think this. Even the person who originally started this thread doesn't believe the text is part of the cover. Is there any evidence outside of the images posted by amazon and hmv?
It's not on the actual Album cover. This is just a marketing image including the cover.
No, there isn't, as far as I'm aware. But that's not nothing! Amazon changed the picture to this. They had the other cover yesterday.
The text will probably be on a clear plastic sleeve.
I like the font, too.
Just not ON the actual album cover.
The text will probably be on a clear plastic sleeve.
Look at the pic of the NLOTH box set. It appears that the physical digipack has actually been made. Sicy posted it on page 11 of the thread on the box set.
Seriously doubt the text is on the cover
I posted it in this thread too.
I don't mind the font (except for the filled in O's), but I really don't like the spacing thing.
ThEn AgAiN, iT cOuLd Be WoRsE.
i dont think the text will be on the actual cover. i believe the cover on u2.com is the one we'll see. but these are just my opinions...
Hey, I'm just trying to discuss the issue here! No reason for you to put me down!
I also discuss other U2-related issues, including how AWESOME Get on Your Boots is! Chill! You seem more hung up than I am!!!
It looks like U2 HAS changed the artwork. It's entirely your opinion that they already knew the image had been used before based on no evidence WHATSOEVER! And the change would seem to suggest something happened.
I can tell you, from my experience in a DVD production department that it isn't unusual AT ALL for changes to come after samples have been manufactured. This is a minor change, assuming the new images are a genuine change, and it seems to me most likely that it is a change made in reaction to the story getting out that the image has already been an album cover. the time-line would suggest this is not improbable!
But, unlike you, I don't make any claims to knowledge of the whys and whats they're doing, just saying what makes sense to me!
Not putting you down, you just seem pretty hung up on it, that's all.
There's no evidence that U2 has changed the artwork, even if this is the album cover, the artwork really has changed.
I'm basing my opinion that U2 had prior knowledge that this other cover exists because on my experience with selling rights of an image. Many contracts come with verbage that would not allow the selling of same image to "competitors" and to release information on prior rights. In other words, if U2 had a decent contract, which I think they would, they would have known of this prior cover.
It is just a hunch, but it's a hunch with some logic behind it.
