Explain this, then...

Well, i obviously apologise for the misunderstanding Nikki.
I don't really care which one they go for, but i really like that new logo. Think it suits the 'new' Travis. I think they should drop the AV thing, even though they used it for J Smith. |

I wouldn't call it a logo
This is a logo:
That other thing is really just a font, isn't it? |

That is a logo, yeah, but the TRAVIS font, it's called LOGOtype. |

I love that cover, it looks so "sober" and a little cold. I really like it.
I miss the AV thing though. |

Yeah...I'm all about the "AV" thing. It's Travis' trademark. They gotta keep it! ^.^ Plus, it just looks sweet. But the new artwork is beautiful...the more I look at it the more I like it.

so it seems the artwork of the album will be dark/white/grey/black/etc
i kind of said it may be something similar as 12 memories and maybe it will
even 1 of the 2 press photos we've seen has that same color theme |

Yes, we all gonna miss the AV thing :(, But this is like a mark of new direction. Or i dunno, maybe on the album they'll keep the AV thing :) |

Where did you get this?
I like simple images. I think this artwork is very simple, and perfect.
But I wonder why the 'TRAVIS' Font doesn't be used at this artwork. It is their symbol. |

Looks like Gill Sans. In line with J. Smith 10 inch (that had the "old" logo) |

Yea. I love the whole art work, but I miss the old font.
The AV thing is definitely a symbol of Travis. |

Looks great!! thanx 4 posting it!!! Very simple, black and white, grayscales... looks formal, but it's great... really don't know what is that, in the photo, looks abstract!!

| I like it! Very mysterious! :) Although i do miss the old font a little bit. Anyway, why does it say "release date: 29/08/2008"??? I thought it was out on September 15th? |

Cool, Looks really good. The Travis logo is still in use too. It's our logo. Like the Nike swoosh :) Nobody owns that font. We own our name though (phew). We thought we'd use a different font for this album because lately we been seeing that font (avant garde) used by loads of bands and companies and magazines... it seems to be everywhere. Also it seems that with all the change; new label, new direction, new underwear etc a new font felt right.
aaaanyways... |
