I find it interesting that Dave was in the back. You'd think the singer would occupy the foreground.

It makes the band look more like an AOR band

Looks very 70's.

I have a feeling most people would have passed the original cover by and wrote them off as just another soft band.

I think it looks very 80's-ish. I think the colors (teal, pink) make it look like an 80's soft rock band. An 80's soft-rock band? Hmmmmm, maybe they were onto something here. Laughing

And yea, that logo blows chunks.

That logo does look like "Van Halan".

It doesnt look professional either, like something and independent would press up

Or a bootleg of old demo recordings.

Wow, that original artwork sucks. The logo looks kinda goofy.

Not that the other cover was great shakes, but it was better!

The logo reminds me of the 80's band Scandal. Eddie actually wanted their singer Patty Smyth to join VH at one time.
