honestly??
I don't like it... maybe, someday I'll love it, but not now... it's completely different from all their usual covers, but... erm, no... I mean, its a little bit scary -or at least for me! And I miss see them on the cover... |

Uuuuuhhh... I'm a bit black & white on this cover. I can't say it's love at first sight, but I love the thought of doing a graphic cover - and it's beautiful and mysterious at the same time. 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 |

Yay. First time Fran quoted my message(although it was only a short one, "I agree".. *_*)I'm like dancing in my office now..My boss is staring at me >_< heheheheh
*Blush* *Shy*
Relieved that the old LOGO is not dropped.
I'm beginning to love the new font, tho. I wasn't familiar with the new stuff at the start, but I think it's a exciting change. :D Now...I can't wait to see the new album, new songs, and new Travis!! |

right I stop nit picking now ! lol
So do I! Does anyone know if or where the "old" font can be downloaded... for free...? Thanks.
Sorry to be a kill joy, but that's not a free font (Avant Garde Gothic + alternate, I believe it's the Medium version). In an OpenType (pro) version you only need one font, as it has all the alternates, too. That's the cheapest option, 36 euros, but it requires that your software can cope with OpenType.

Thank you, mili! Oh... 36 euros??? I have to think about that... Maybe I will paint the new cover on a canvas stretcher, and then I could take the Avant Garde font. If I'll find some time...
Hey, and nice to see so again here! I've enjoyed our Old-age-thread a lot. |
