    Out of the two:

    THE BUZZZZZARD

    I think the plainness of the 2nd one is what's ill. It just looks like an old 70's label. IMO, it might look better in a more dull color. That's just my opinion. They're both dope either way!

  • The first, but in a less bright orange.

    A combination of the two, with the guy throwing the rock at the bird.

    The first one with a different bird or possibly a native African tree.

    That's an idea...

    the colors are not what I will end up using, I just chose those to fool around with the designs.

    It's going to be a box set so maybe I'll use both and also try a tree...

    #1 is the better of the two, but I think you guys could come up with something ever sharper than these two great designs!

    Also: do you really want a buzzard/vulture on the label? Isn't that like symbolically "bad" in this context? (Or is that an eagle?)

    I grabbed this bird from an old record cover... I like it.
    Don't even know if it's supposed to be a buzzard or a vulture.

  • bird is the word... either buzzard or vulture is sort of clever and self-deprecating plus it looks better...

  • Options
    Bird but diff font.

    Using a vulture/buzzard fits in perfectly with "voodoo".
    Not feelin that font tho. Font on #2 is aiight.

    i really thought that vodoo/bird was a good combo
    may i suggest baobab for the tree route

    The baobab isn't really the typical tree for the are this release comes from but we will do a tree design for another label for shure!

    And maybe a smoked grasscutter...
