Of course, if the band thinks it's totally lame, than... :snax: :lol: :facepalm:

...and you'll be pleased to know that is in fact Yonge Street (in proper :noir: coloration) behind the glass, as it were.

I like the first one the moast. The other ones feel a bit too symmetrical to me, vertically and horizontally.

Name of the recoard "Republic"?

I might scuzz up the text on the gears a bit to push them a bit further back from easy legibility, and to discourage college DJs from calling the band "garda republic" and the recoard "destroy everything". I might also go for the lighter treatment of the logo from the third one.

The third one is actually also nice, though i might reduce the size of the word "REPUBLIC" onnit so it is not as close to the same width of the logo. I might be inclined to bring the width of that to a bit closer to that of the lens, maybe just a little bigger than that.

Nice colors and shapes overall, i dig it. :huzzah:

I was thinking something along these lines

Well, I wound up doing both, by suggestion of the persons in the band as well, go figure.

If anyone can be arsed to look at a 60 meg PDF (hint: load this in Photoschnappes, not Acrobat/Preview/etc. if you want it to not take forever), the whole damn shooting match for the album art is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13184331/GARDA_REPUBLIC_6panel_flat.pdf.zip

Minus a few minor changes (there's some type missing in the credits, a couple things need to be moved, lighten the title on the spine or the art under it for legibility) and cleaning up around the flap for the CD. I left the template on so the bandpeeps could see what's where. Rotate 180ยบ to look at the inside part.

I couldn't resist being a clever bastard and having hinges- a hinge, at any rate; I might add a second at the bottom- in the art where it opens up to the CD pocket and having something resembling a handle on there too. :facepalm:
