| Well, from the small picture it does look like Avant Garde Gothic, the same as the classic Travis logo font. It's been pretty trendy for some years now, and I believe that one reason Ode to J. Smith had a different font was because Avant Garde was everywhere at the time. |

No, that's not the case as far as I understand, see here:

Very harmonic... very much saying: something has happened since last time. Interesting! Think it'll grow in time.
But... I'm so sorry, that they've change the TRAVIS-spelling... that font with the A-V is so, so, so beautiful. I miss that on the front cover.
I think we must face, that Travis have dropped that design of the name for good... sadly... but still I deeply respect and understand the need for a band to push on, move forward for changes...
Luv,
G!
I agree :)
Travis hasn't dropped it's LOGO. It's just using a new one on this record. Ahhhhh fresh...I posted this before...go look
also

Everyone uses this font now. It is everywhere but it will always look the coolest with this A V thing going on. I remember seeing a mock up of the writing to reach you art work with the new type face and getting really excited. Mark is also responsible for all of Coldplays covers and Tappin Gofton did the Feeling's first album artwork ( I hasten to say that they were not responsible for the current Feeling artwork) WHat else did they do ummm they did the RUmble Strips and they do The Young Knives and they do the Chemical Brothers... |
