Artwork

The front cover artwork was designed by the artist David Cuesta. The logo for the Organ was also done by Cuesta during the process of doing the cover, and was based on some sketches given to him by Katie and Jenny. It uses the font Avante Garde by Herb Lublain as the foundation for the lettering.

The artwork for the cover was a piece that the artist had been working on when Jenny Smyth came into his studio in the 7th Avenue House, to meet to discuss the designs for the album. The design is based on rectangles in a Fibonacci sequence and can be loosely interpreted as the duration of notes pressed on an organ.

The liner notes and remaining album artwork were then produced by Mohammad Salemy.[2][3]
