PETITION FOR KORN TO CHANGE THE ARTWORK OF TPOT

Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 6:55 AM

I really hope people here have good taste and are as offended about the low quality of the new artwork as much as I am.

Korn always had stunning artworks and now they have really lowered their standards.
I guess the whole idea is not bad but this version of the logo is very bland and does not compare to the old one that is so characteristic to the band's aesthetics. I personally would be fine with this cover if it had the old logo on it instead of this version of it.

Please, if you guys think the old logo is way much better than this post here and maybe we can change something.
My band :)

    The logo doesn't bother me. The over-done photoshopping does.

    I think most people didn't even saw the new cover, here is a link . I really like the cover, it fits to JDs description of the album title!
    So only because you don't like the cover there should be a petition?- makes no sense! There should be a proper discussion first, before a petition ;)
    I also don't get it with the "old logo", its nearly the same. This looks really fresh and new

    I really like the cover. The logo is the same traditional Korn logo, not the scratched one from LIP. If we are going to petition something, it should be that they move the release date back up to November 15th. Dec 6th!!!!!! WTF!!! I totally respect your opinion, but disagree, about the logo/cover. FTL played in my head all day. I can't wait for POT to!!

    Isn't it the same logo just under construction?

    It's got a "prettier, clean" look than previous covers but all in all I think it looks quite good. As long as the music is great then I'm not bothered about the aesthetics of the cover.

    The cover is fine. I like it, so I guess I have bad taste? Once the album actually comes out, people will be judging the music itself.

    Is this my overture,
    or obituary?

    I like the cover. But that's just my 2 cents worth.

    I don't like the cover. But I'm buying it for the music. What does seem weird to me is that they didn't actually use the real Korn logo. They used the kornucopia font (or whatever it's called) instead. You can tell by the way the N has no tail-thingy like in the real logo.

    It is not the right logo. If you're a designer, you'd know this, and so would Korn.

    The 'n' is the most noticable part. Basically, they've used the "Kornucopia" font in a 3D program, instead of the actual Korn logo.

    I for once cannot stand this. I hate the cover purely for the fact that it is not the real Korn logo. It's a fake logo, replicated by someone who crated that font. It's actually what bothers me about that font too. I hate seeing Korn write 'Korn' in that font. If you put them next to each other, the differences are massive.

    I for one say they change it.

    I agree, it looks cheap, is not the original logo, is the cover for real?
    ¡PIU AVANTI!

    Do like God who never cries;
    or like Lucifer, who never prays;
    or like the oak grove, that in its greatness
    needs water but does not plea
    May it bite and clamor vengeful,
    rolling in the dust, your head!

    I see it as an openness, to patching, building and healing. Growing into today and whatever is to come in the future............I think it suits, quite well.

    the cover is fine, i like it. But they could do like the beatles and just leave it blank and i wouldn't give two craps. thier art is represented by what is in that case. and that is the awsome music fueld by blood sweet and tears.

    I bet if Korn had an album cover like Arctic Monkey's latest, or The Black Keys, people would still bitch and whine.
