Designing Skull Graphics

I had him design the skull graphic for me. I figure that he would be able to come up with something more original than I could do on my own. Rather than just coming up with one simple skull graphic, he came up with several designs. Some of them were pretty traditional. For example, one of them had a flaming skull and cross bones on the cover. It was so over-the-top that it was almost humorous. In this humor, I saw potential. I figured that, if the skull graphic could express the idea of heavy metal or hard rock while also being funny, it could get us more fans. Still, I liked his other skull graphic designs even better. One of my favorites had a sort of generation X. appeal to it.
