Squackett - (what a name) Halfway between squawk and racket!!! Chris Squires and Steve Hackett: I bought this and am enjoying it. I was also curious of the artwork on the cover so asked the design studio responsible (Xu Bing) to explain it... I found it interesting and also very easy to read once you know!

Squires + Hackett = Squackett = the caligraphy for the cover.

Hi Chris, plugged into Squackett , not what I'd usually listen to but it's growing on me. Best part of your post has to be the "Square Word Caligraphy", not come across that before and might have used it on the front panel for the SandyK 15 Watt amplifier but I've almost got it finished. I think SandyK in Square Word would be fun, I'll play around with it and see. Alan

I really like this album as well. It has had mixed reviews. I love the words, 'Aliens are only us from the future!!' and 'The day will come when we'll have passports to the sun!!'
Actually I really like the scoring of this album and the depth in the recording where there are sounds very carefully placed at the back of the band. A lot of care has gone into the production and arranging of the songs.

Hi Alan, You mind reader! I had a first stab at exactly that earlier on. I'm sure your efforts will be far superior to mine as you are artistically gifted but mines not toooooo shabby it lost the plot a little when I filled in

Alan, I worked it out in the end that it says Sandy K - I think it would look great incorporated somewhere on your amps. BTW you have done a fantastic job - everything looks great. I will have to have a go myself - where did you get the alphabet from or did you use your own imagination?

When I have more time I think I will have a proper go with a paintbrush and ink/paint?

just went walk about on the WWW for Chinese characters found a few sites but none that I could copy directly and use so drew the characters as shown into Photoshop. Each one is a genuine Chinese character.

Chris, Here's my original scribble to explain what I did; and then something closer to our hearts; I have to admit mine have gone a bit more "curvey" than the original Chinese hybrids, this may be due to my exposure to Thai writing?

Chris, I don't think any member will have a problem de-ciphering this one, again just a quick scribble with a black Biro pen this morning laid in bed.

This thread's gone a bit stale so here's one I picked up today. Perhaps SandyK might have an inkling as to what Mr Chinaman is telling us. ;D Alan
