Alternative ‘In Rainbows’ covers

Since the digital release of Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’ came without a cover, a lot of alternative covers were posted online. Here’s a selection found at the wonderful hicksdesign.co.uk.

If you have any covers for ‘In Rainbows’ you want to share, please post them in the comments or e-mail them to adriaan@ateaseweb.com.

that one in the center row, center…….is that a parody of an actual album cover for another band or a totally original idea? i like the idea of black with you only seeing a picture through the letters.
Andy

I think the bottom right one is better than the original…

the best interpretation: the one with the stock values on black background. too bad it wasn’t executed with as much flair of detail as the other ones.

A lot of these are really good, I think. Great work, guys!

I’m rather fond of this one:

It’s cropped from an old HD picture, painting by that great Mr Donwood. Doesn’t really work without Down Is The New Up, but hey, it’s still pretty.

I think the most prominant one is the center design, although the stle of the typography is very much like whats been used on Garbage CD Covers and the Manic Street Preachers. Nothing new, but differnet none-the-less

Here’s mine, inspired by an old CBC logo:
