Being a huge fan of Steve Moore of Zombi fame, I was pretty stoked to hear that he had a metal-ish band on the side called Titan (Note: not the Canadian one). This has what you would certainly expect from Moore, plenty of Moog synths reverberating from the speakers while sending the listener in a progressive landscape. Ah yes, everything I would expect from Moore.
Cover art, being a visual manifestation of the music contained, I feel should reflect the emotions and general feeling the band wants to convey. The logo, in combination with the artwork, fits the music. I can always appreciate a simple take on band identity, it speaks maturity as well as taste to opt for simplicity rather than bells and whistles.
The general vibe you gather from the artwork is a bit dated, but not in a bad way. Vintage late 60's and 70's seems to be in vogue today, and I can totally dig and appreciate the aesthetic. The almost collage assembled geometric shapes with a almost screen printed looking logo in combination with muted colors and tones make for an interesting, aged look. The logo, which appears to be derived from the Black Sabbath logo on their self-titled record, evokes a magical late 60's feeling that is sure to appeal to any fan of vintage aesthetics.
Even the myspace page melds well with the general feeling the cover art conveys, bringing all of the elements, which may also appear on the packaging as well. Overall, quite nice design, a bit on the safe side, but it's still alright.
