They said in the Higher Power debut chat with the astronaut that it was all allegory so yes, Kaotica has everything to do with their eco views :)

I know we already have the excellent Kaotican generator at arfm.surge.sh, but I wanted to implement one where I could save the image directly and I thought I'd share it in case it was of use to anyone else https://coldplace.co.uk/kaotigen.php

My two favourites, in the same order too :)

My thinking is that it's just Chris' sense of humour - I suspect it's an album of songs from the cutting room floor from their entire career and Chris being Chris, instead of saying "from the last 20 years" said "the last 100 years" because that's his sense of humour, and that stuck and they ran with it.

I think you're on to something with that last sentence ... "last 100 years or thereabouts" really could equate to a cutting room floor album.

I'd thought of Turkey too but it's not the same star - it's a 10 pointed star, also known as a Decagram. There's a ton of rabbit holes that open up when you search for Decagram :)

Buried in the source code you'll also find this image: - Probably not relevant but I know how we all pounce on every smidgen of information.

Thanks! :)

Nice :) Looks good! I like the arrow in the I :) Out of interest, how did you do the graffiti background?

I can't remember how to do it in Photoshop off the top of my head and I don't have Photoshop installed here at work so I'll have to wait until I get home to provide you with an answer.

It really depends on the software in which you're using the font. I made it solid because I'll be using it in graphics apps like Photoshop and you can set the text to be outline only. I don't think you can do the same in something like Microsoft Word. It was quicker to make the font solid rather than outline only and more flexible for me as I can use it as outline only or solid this way. If there's enough demand though, I will make an outline only version.

I too needed the font and also failed to find anything suitable on the internet so I took the plunge and, despite having never done it before, went ahead and created the font. It's my first font and is all from scratch so please forgive me if it's not 100% accurate, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. A few notes: - 1) Despite the excellent coverage of the alphabet in the three song covers, the letters B, H, K, Q, X, Z are not present in anything they've released thus far so I've had to make those 6 up. I'm pretty happy with what I came up with apart from the H. As soon as they release further material that contains these letters (Hurts Like a Heaven for a single please!) I'll amend the font. 2) I've only done upper case A-Z, no lower case, no numbers and no special characters. I may add numbers in the future. 3) The font is a solid font as this is more flexible for my requirements. You can use it as an outline in graphics applications but if there is enough demand for an outline version I will create one. 4) I've not done the teardrop, eye nor the exhaust fumes but may also add them if it proves desirable to people.

Will's shirts I don't suppose any of you know where Will gets his t-shirts? The red, white and blue ones all look like the same style so I'm guessing they're not custom made, just jazzed up a bit.

Yep, mastered too loud. It's a real shame coz it would sound so much better with greater dynamic range. For those that are interested, google "Loudness Wars".

No love for Reign of Love? It's in my top 3 at the minute :) A beautiful song! I often skip Viva La Vida and Violet Hill. Viva La Vida just gets a little cheesy for me in the chorus. Life in Technicolor - 10/10 Cemeteries of London - 9/10 Lost! - 10/10 42 - 7/10 Lovers in Japan - 8/10 Reign of Love - 10/10 Yes - 8/10 Chinese Sleep Chant - 6/10 Viva La Vida - 7/10 Violet Hill - 7/10 Strawberry Swing - 10/10 Death and All His Friends - 10/10 The Escapist - 9/10 42 would get the full 10/10 if it were twice as long. It's too awesome to be only 4 minutes long and I feel like the song sells itself short as it is.
