Hi John,

Yes, I tried it the other way around on the CC Europe sticker - but it didn't really work out so well. The main problem is the width of "europe" and the height of the cc-circle. For that to fit in the other way around we'd need to make them much smaller, and the looks even worse (and somewhat unnatural). Otherwise we'd have to put the cc-circle in the bottom and leave "europe" in the middle, but then it reads Compiled by Europe CC, which I think sounds a little stupid :) Wouldn't you agree?

Alek, however, suggested moving the stickers to the lower left corner -  and/or consolidate into them into just one sticker. I've tried a couple of solutions for that:

Not too sure about the single-sticker version, but the other one works out rather well?

Hi Christian,

very nice cover that is :) I'd suggest to switch the "CC Europe" and "compiled by", maybe with the cc circle going in the middle?

Also, we could include the URL http://europe.creativecommons.org/Mixtape in there, but maybe that's too much. You are the music label guru here :)

Best
John

Hi everybody,

Here are a couple of new cover mockups, now with "Europe" added as
suggested earlier in the thread. Apologies for the delay, but it proved
quite a challenge to fit the new texts onto the cover without it seeming
rather cluttered. I have therefore opted for a "sticker"-option, hope
you like it.

Black: http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final4_black_web.jpg
Grey: http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final4_grey_web.jpg

Also, some versions (pre-sticker) in various colors:

http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final2red_web.jpg
http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final2purple_web.jpg
http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final2green_web.jpg
http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final2blue_web.jpg

If we choose to go with a colored background and add the stickers (or
just one of them) we should probably match the sticker color(s) to fit
aesthetically with that background color.

Let me know your thoughts about all of it, so we can get things wrapped up.

Regards from thickly snow-covered Denmark,

-Christian

    +1

    but please w/o "... does not sound like it's CC licensed" b/c it
    suggests that all re-usable music is lame, which is not so!
