Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon
Bold, iconic and symbolic, the cover to Pink Floyd’s eighth studio album is the exact vision of Richard Wright’s wish of a "smarter, neater - more classy" covers than previous Pink Floyd albums. Dark Side of the Moon is one of the recognised album, covers in history.
Designed by longstanding Floyd associates and masters of spaced out imagery, Hipgnosis and George Hardie, the diffusing prism references the lyrical content of the album and Pink Floyd’s extravagant light shows, that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
The prism image was the centrepoint of some fairly lavish packaging, which included two posters and stickers of the pyramids.
In addition, the prism of light on The Dark Side Of The Moon misses out indigo from the spectrum.
