This is all we saw, the i'm sure one of them is a promotional piece and one of them is album art (i just don't know which is which). Anyhow, yeah. I can't say how or where I got them.

Pretty.

Why, was it blamo?

nice white border line to the skeleton image overlap

still, these would be acceptable

I seriously doubt the validity of this for a couple of reasons, but they're kinda cool. At least it gives people something to talk about.

I like them but that second one looks fake,

The fonts seem kinda plain jane, but I'd have no problem with this if it turned out to be legit. That skeleton looks pretty badass.

It's not what I expected, but I like it....

Interesting.

Man, I still don't think I like the name, Zeitgeist. But this art is cool.

boring. kinda machinaesque. i'm betting fake. or if real, both promo stuff, not covers

both look fake.
in the first one, the font of the bandname and the title doesn't match with the rest of the artwork.
in the second one, same problem, plus the skeleton image seems to be a scan from a book. they didn't even do the effort to clean it up properly: there's still some text underneath the image and there's the border on the right, as kahlo already mentioned.

:rolleyes:

There's something strange about the graphic on the right of the second one. It seems to have a step ladder effect on the threading on the ribbon.

Both are pretty cool though :)

Oh wait, Ihaman's does graphic design, doesn't he.

thread closed and locked

What's with the asterix before Zeitgeist on both pics? Also, why is the left of the ribbon on the bottom pic cropt out?

sophomoric album art

After TFE, I'd be happy with either of those.

Electric Space Theater

this will not hold me over until july

i cant say how i know, but i can confirm that the album cover is in fact real

chances are these are some of the album art designs the band hasn't yet decided on. so keep cool.

hey june can you pm me or post a full sized version of that one avatar you had. of that cartoon girl with the stuff coming out of her vagina or whatever it was

I cant' believe this is even being considered real.

Look at "THE SMASHING PUMPKINS" on the first one... Theres no way there name would be written directly in the centre with such a small generic font - for any band. Need I mention that every pumpkins album has their name big bold and large. (except pisces)

done.

feik and a half.

hey junie. (pm you later)

The skeleton is actually from a brush pack that you can get for photoshop. I have this set of brushes. Just a bunch of different skeletons in different positions. Easy shop job. I question its legitmacy.

What a dumbass! Those pictures are obviously fake. I know, because I have the real album cover here:

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/1871/zeitsh3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

both of these art work have kind of feel of being fake.

the 1st one especially because it reminds me of the promo CD 1991-1999

Oh wait, Ihaman does graphic design, doesn't he?

are you guys slow or what

don't even need to be discussing this really, but the 1st one is a) too plain and b) too reminiscent of machina to be genuine.

2nd one is just...the edge...of naff.

why cause it's brown?

How dare you suggest that Ihaman would use his artistic abilities to deceive us. Next you'll be trying to convince us that global warming is real.

why is that me?

This looks like it was designed by one of the myspace clowns. Pretty fucking boring. Machina is ten times better than this garbage.

ridiculously fake

It'd better be fake.

I agree, considering the Machina art work was done by a renown Russian artist.

they both look a little simple. that said, after TFE, either would be welcome. the first way more so than the second. the skeleton may be badass, but the layout itself is not. If it didn't have that dumb panel on the right, maybe it would be better.

however, now that I think about it, the crown thing seems kind of... I don't know...

I agree, I'd be fine with art like this, it doesn't really strike me as work that I could have a strong opinion about.

the skeleton is actually billy in 3 years

Yes, and apparently I even waited too long to be the first one to post the retort.

yea, i wouldnt say any of the albums have their name big, bold or large. maybe on some of the singles, but not really. wtf mate?

cool as - both look fake - yes.

:erm:

whuh?

wrong thread... yo

I thought the first one looked like some kind of sketch from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, I'm surprised no one else thought so. I like both though. If they're real that's cool, if not that is cool to.

are you stoned?? :rofl:
I'd say that in this case, Billy's off-the-cuff comments at that Avalon show (with the drum machine) speak volumes more than whatever literarily premeditated reflections he concocted fifteen or so years later for inclusion in "Confessions." (Anyone care to remember what other sorts of silly rubbish Billy was spouting within the same time frame of the Confessions, about such-and-such former SP band member being "immoral," etc. etc.?) I mean, based on his actions and his words (recall the "Recliner" incident where he gave all sorts of obsessive winking and nodding to Billy Corgan's work on his own double alblum..or whatever the hell that was...), Ron clearly has his own self-aggrandizing agenda going on here...but of course Billy has his own agenda for framing history as well. My guess is that Ron probably did work with Billy on some songs which Billy carried over into what he denotes as the genesis of the early Pumpkins (and I'm talking about more than Spiteface, Death of a Mind/Sun)--in any case, they both ended up back in Chicago. From what I've listened to of The Marked, Ron was a pretty decent drummer, too. You can also definitely hear why Billy would hook up with a drummer in the style of Jimmy to fill the void.

The second one looks like the cover of a Barnes & Noble Classic. I really hope Billy isn't that stupid.

where have i seen those before?

At least these are better than the covers to the Poe collections you made. And yes, I'm accusing the thread starter of making them himself.

Haven't looked at it for ages but that reminds me that the Machina artwork was pretty damn sweet.

You don't think that picture above your post is seriously cool? Well it is. I remember being a bit let down when first hearing the album as I really liked the artwork and had very high hopes.

im just messing with you. im not sure if its just the nostalgic effect that it has on me, but i loved the machina artwork from the day it came out. the music was ok.

I remember finding out that the pages smelled like old library books or parchment or whatever it was supposed to be and thinking 'woah, thas pretty damn cool'.

:rofl:
do you still smell the booklet because i do

Wasn't there an entire thread dedicated to how each booklet had a unique "scent"? I think I recall a debate over whether or not Machina's was specifically intentional. (God that was anal!)

I thought the first one looked like some kind of sketch from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, I'm surprised no one else thought so.
too reminiscent of machina
The second one looks like the cover of a Barnes & Noble Classic.
I thought all three of these things when looking at it. The skeleton, though quite a nice picture, is obviously a book scan. (The artwork seems familiar to me, too.)

And yeah, that asterik thingy is pretty retarded. (At least it alerted me to look for the fine print under the picture though...haha.) Whoever would really put that on an alblum cover is a real douchebag.

I can tell by some of the pixels and by seeing quite some shops in my time.

plus the bands name isn't on the front in bold - their albums always have that man

Yeah, and check the sloppy overlap of the "Z" on the graphic in the crown one. Even if the designer was going to drop the text in over the existing art, they would presumably have selected and placed a font that didn't interfere with the image.

can i become one of the j u n e collective??

waiting list.

joining fee?

After taking a closer look... it's obvious the text has been added to the image, especially in the first. I work with Photoshop quite a bit, infact I've done a lot here on Netphoria... I did imagine something b&w with Zeitgeist but... if the album is due out in July, it's very unlikely that they've finalized the artwork for the album at this point.

If it is real, it's probably just early promotional materials.

All they need to do is change the "Zeitgeist" title a bit, and this would be the perfect cover.

May not be final, but I have inside sources say that its being considered, at least for promotional purposes. In reality, this'll probably be the cover for the online "sequel" album that'll be released on bit torrent about 4 months after the actual album tanks.
