Contest #1 Cover @Matt and Travis and all

[CLARET]

Hey!

We're already talking about cover contest #2...

But we ain't got a cover artwork for the contest #1 CD yet.

What about a "Cover Design Contest" for the cover contest #1 CD?? And some kind of poll after all entries are there.

That would be cool... wouldn't it?

Maybe Matt and Travis (our professionals) could do one each, too??

Whatcha think about it?

So long

okay... to get this thing going I just sat down and did one first try... check it out. As I said: just a simple 15 min. try of a cover version. Tell me what you think...

ambitious people both

i actually like both...
I prefer the photo on Unicorn's cover a bit more,but i don't like that lettering.... the pic is quite dreamy/sad/emotional/whatever,while these letters are two plain,they don't match well to my eyes.....
On Nico's i don't understand what exactly the picture shoes..it's hmmm puzzling But i like the strange letters....

well,both pics are hübsch!! and i'd rather shut up instead of complaining about the letters,since when it comes to art i am a failure
Bravo boys!

EDIT: Plagued by alzheimer as i am,i forgot to mention that the idea of having a cover contest is very cool!

Alright y'all, I spent about 20 minutes or so on a few covers for your coversong compilation. I really do not have time to do a full version, hi-res and all that, just supplying some inspiration.

Check 'em out: http://www.lucidnoir.com/nightingale/covercontest.html

I think the first and third look like Dillinger Escape Plan covers, and the last was supposed to be the booklet for Alive Again.....

Cool covers. I like the font on Claret's and the pic Unicorn used. Merge'em together and Matt's looks good too.

 

[Analog_Kid]

I still say "The Cover Chronicles" would be a much better title for the compilation.

 

[Skaldir]

wow Matt, I really like this one http://www.lucidnoir.com/nightingale/covercontest01.jpg
from you.

 

[~nightfall~]

Great covers!! The one you did put up a link to is awesome Unicorn. I`d say go with that one

 

[Seems like Trav]

I'm kinda lost here...what are you all talking about?

 

[CLARET]

Hi Travis!

Ehm... what we're doing here : we (the members of the Dan Swanö forum) did a Nightingale cover song contest ... just for ourselves and to praise Dan.

But it shall be a real CD some day. And therefor we need a cover.

If you're interested and have a little time, it would be cool if you could do a cover suggestion yourself for us, too.
Just if you want.

By the way, by now I like Matt's last one on http://www.lucidnoir.com/nightingale/covercontest.html best... let's see what else comes out of anyone else...

So long

I like Matt's third one best.

 

[Melancholia]

I like all the covers,some more some less.... I like Matt's third one best...it's the most romantic and dreamy (and i've already associated with sth ) ...and then I like Unicorn's...

[Seems like Trav]

ok cool. i think i can think of something

 

[noren]

I'm in the middle of a big project at the moment and I needed to take a break and do something to get the inspiration back.

Sorry, this is not very serious
