BEYONCE It’s literally pink text on a black background Tourso was tasked with designing Beyoncé's album cover, which he found difficult considering it was a visual album and thus "inundated with imagery". Over three months he considered over a hundred options, only to proceed with his very first idea. He was inspired by the cover of Metallica's eponymous fifth studio album (1991) to create a bold statement, specifically to deviate from a "beauty shot" of Beyoncé which he felt would be expected. He used a font similar to placards used in boxing matches to represent abrasive masculinity, which was contrasted by the greyish-pink font which he described as "a subversion of femininity". The cover reflects the album. After years of selling her beauty and sexuality, she chose something minimalist when she had something to say. It's iconic because it's what we remember about the first surprise dropped album and visual album that broke the internet from the biggest pop star. It's simply, BEYONCE.

OT: Yeah this seems more like most iconic, and even then a lot of these wouldn’t make it signing out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could choose one thing she could change in her career it's that awful cover. Sure it screams 80s hair metal but it's so terrible and cheaply done. I'm at peace with it, it makes it more iconic and I think it may have been done like that on purpose. Kind regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyerased 2,886 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It didn’t say the most beautiful, just iconic. I agree with the Drake and Beyonce covers. Those were iconic. The memes from if you’re reading and Beyonce finally making a statement. I’d put Abbey Road at 1 honestly. It’s more recognized than the Andy Warhol cover. Kanye’s TLOP cover is missing too. Also True Blue should be higher. Where’s Michael Jackson’s Dangerous? That’s top 30 easily. Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream should be there. TFM’s album cover albeit a good statement wasn’t what was imprinted to the public. It was the Bad Romance video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2School4Cool 6,449 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I agree with some of these but not others. I think Elton John should have an album cover on there, either Captain Fantastic or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I was happy to see Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road on there, though.
