The white color of the Invincible album cover

[Mister_Jay_Tee]

What do you think? Is it a pleasing palette? I find it personally disgusting. It remains offending.

 

[zinniabooklover]

Love it. The white / silver cover is the only one I like, the other colours don't work for me. Invincible is my fave Michael album cover.

 

[Salami]

Disgusting haha I don't know if I'd go that far. The silver was better than the mulitcolured variants on offer, but it's just boring. Not as bad as Thriller, but boring.

 

[Agonum]

Iconic.

The fact we're at the point people can take this for serious just unnerves me.

Now it is clear why I did not understand this thread. I thought something was wrong with the translation.
I need a "Sarcasm" sign or something.

oh, I got the sarcasm. But I'm not genetically programmed to joke about Invincible. I love the album so I'm always in 'protective' mode, lol. Especially for the cover which I think is beautiful.

Plus, I can joke around with f&m but can't with you bc your brand of sarcasm is far above my skillset.

Mr JT has a great sense of humour - I absolutely love it - but it's also bonkers. His sarcasm is a specialist brand unavailable to almost anyone else. Keep that in mind and you won't go far wrong, lol. Plus he almost never uses emojis. He likes to test us, lol.

 

[Prince Of Pop]

Personally I think the liner note photos were better.

I agree with everyone. I see it too. It's such a satisfying test

Are you also in 'protective' mode about the fact that both Michael Jackson and Sony Music in order to increase the album sales they resorted to such a cheap and contemptible method by releasing the album with different cover colours?

Personally I think the liner note photos were better.

It is interesting that, according to reports, Uri Geller's drawing (in the album's booklet) was originally meant as the front cover of that album.

Gotta love the Invicible Threads. Next Invicible Thread “Did the album font affect the quality of the album?”

But to answer your question, that specific color palette never sat right with me. I don’t know why, but it always struck me as odd.

I actually spent a lot of time researching the Invincible fonts. It's like its own unique font for the title, and then two different fonts for MJ's name, both halves. I used it to successfully recreate the "Speechless" promo single from Korea. And the "Taste of Invincible" Single.

My true confession is that MJ held me at gunpoint and forced me to buy all 5 color invincible albums while raging about how Tommy Motola liked Jermaine and Prince more than him.

What should I call that if I ever make it a documentary? @filmandmusic

One Word Title, like Thriller Bad Dangerous, not bad

I prefer Leaving Invincible: On The Shelf.

That’s neat. Can you share that?

Yeah, I'm gonna add all the highest quality MJ/Jacksons artwork I have to a Drive, when I'm done with it.

I'd prefer one of these

The one they went with is so boring. I think they wanted it to look "digital" due to a lot of the music sounding "digital" as well. I also think they tried to avoid showing as much of Michael as possible because he did not look his best during those 2 years

I like the top image but I struggle to see it as an album cover, aspect ratio wise mostly

The second and third are fan made.

Also, when the 'Invincible' album came out, many people and critics remarked that the front cover of the album was misleading and not in touch with reality (in the sense that the real Michael Jackson actually looked very different and older).

Nobody said they weren't, silly

I can take them off your hands if you want. I'm thinking of building an art installation with them. That's assuming Michael forced you to buy hundreds of copies. The piece will remain untitled mostly bc I can't be bothered to think of one plus I'm a bit busy with Tina Turner thoughts atm.

DJ, you're really good at finding stuff like this!

No, he only made me buy 5 copies. One for each member of the family.

Dang it! Now I'm crying in my latte.

Blue cover>>>>>>>>

True, but it could work if they used a more zoomed out photo, so it would capture what is in said photo, to get the ratio right I think

Ok. I actually see the vision now. Zoomed out with an all black frame would be kinda heat actually. Wouldn't feel like the way to succeed Invincible though. The all white motif was right to me actually.
