Book cover art original (left); CD cover art (right)

You may not know Charles Swindoll, but the Philippine band True Faith does. Proof of this is the similarity of their cover art. With Charles, the evidence is his book cover. True Faith, on the other hand, has its CD cover. The anomaly here is that Charles' book was released two years before True Faith did their album. My friend pointed out the uncanny similarities of the usage of the colors red and black, the white backdrop and, of course, the rose image.

Band Rips Off Counting Crows Merchandise

(top) The original art; (bottom) The alleged theft

The band Cute Is What We Aim For allegedly has its Rotation CD cover ripped off from Alphabet Arm Design's Counting Crows t-shirt merchandise. The CD was released in 2008 while the Counting Crows shirt designers produced their merchandise in 2004. The design agency alleges that the band or its reps contacted them for a possible design project for the band's next album. After much deliberation, the project didn't pull through. Then, later, lo and behold, Rotation.
