Additional Notes:
For their eighth studio album, Pink Floyd continued working with Hipgnosis (an English art design group) and George Hardie, who have previously designed covers for several bands’ albums. The cover design for The Dark Side Of The Moon was inspired by a photo of a prism with a light beam projected through it; it was found by one of the Hipgnosis group members in a photography book. The design stands for three elements: the band’s stage lighting, the album lyrics, and Wright’s wish for ‘a simple, bold, and classy’ design. It was also the first time that Pink Floyd felt confident enough of Waters’ lyrics to print them on the album’s sleeve.
