Here's my take on it. Jared's had some weird coloration going on around the bullseye where all the black bits lost contrast. I can only do so much without the original but I tried to fix that and move as much of the bullseye as I could behind the action.

Can't really see it on any of these in this thread, but the one on fb is more clear and it's definitely there. Eye and foot and all.

Put the face before the target in stead of behind.

I love AB, but I am about to be that guy.

The Target inspired Green Day ripoff CD cover sucks. The new logo change is lame, the Fortress CD cover sucked, the Cauterize Frank Zappa tribute CD cover sucked... The rest were pretty good.

Haha of course! Didn't even recognise the difference, must not have looked at it enough to have realised :facepalm

100% prefer it with the target going through him

It's actually not white but beige.. our first edit that was massively shared was a bit over the top with messing with the levels and balance...

I didn't really understand the updated logo when I first saw it on alterbridge.com. As others have said it just seems bland; the only think unique about it is that it's still arched like a bridge.

Now having seen the album art, it totally works. I'm still not sure it's suited to standalone applications (e.g., stage banners, tour posters, etc.), but it's perfect for the album cover.

Very cool that Brian pointed out the crow in the eye. Kind of funny that wrinkles on the outer edge of the eyelid are often referred to as "crow's feet."

Well, I really don't like it...this cover was made by Dan Tremonti? This will be the final cover to the album?
