Hard Format: OMD
Posted by Scott
Hard Format has some great shots of the die-cut Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark LP cover. The cover was designed by Ben Kelly and Peter Saville for the Dindisc label. Die-cut is always a good idea and I love the vibrations between these blue and orange shades, something about it absolutely works.
More info here, lots of other great sleeves at Hard Format.

September 14, 2010 at 8:40 amLooks beautiful but like many of Saville’s sleeves lost the band and label serious money because of the production cost – thus is it a nice piece of art or bad design?
