Holy Fawn, Realms EP (2015)
I like the symmetry and simplicity of this cover, though I think the style and color of the text could be improved on. Here are two variants on the cover:
Cover without text
Cover with mirrored text

Renoir et la Reine Noire
« Le noir, une non-couleur ? Où avez-vous encore pris cela ? Le noir, mais c’est la reine des couleurs ! » — Renoir (1841-1919)
• “Black, a non-color? Where did you get that idea? Black, why, it’s the queen of colors!”
Green Seen
When you stare at the cross for at least 30 seconds, you see three illusions:
• A gap running around the circle of lilac discs;
• A green disc running around the circle of lilac discs in place of the gap; and
• The green disc running around on the grey background, with the lilac discs having disappeared in sequence. — Lilac Chaser, Wikipedia
