Fun little thing: Alternative Covers for the Toonami Music Albums

I was messing around on my computer, and I decided that it would be fun to come up with new album covers for the three officially-released Toonami Albums (though technically the Megamixes can't really be called albums, I will for the sake of simplicity): Deep Space Bass, Black Hole Megamix, and Supernova Megamix. They use the new logo, and I'm proud that I was able to pull it off as well as I did. You may use them in any way you wish, though I ask that if you post them anywhere else, please credit me. Thanks!

A trend you'll notice through these covers is that I like having the background image be a representation of the album's title, in this case deep space. The image is part of the famous "Deep Field" picture taken by the Hubble telescope. I added the "Cartoon Network Presents" as a nod to the original cover having the CN logo on it. My favorite part of the cover is the effect I found that made the Toonami logo appear as if it was behind the galaxies shown in the photo. Also, I added a little throwback with the usage of BDDoomed (the font Toonami used from 1999-2000), which is available at Toonami Digital Arsenal, along with the other fanmade adaptions of Toonami fonts.

Taking a cue from ACDC's Back in Black cover, I decided that a full black background with barely visible text and images would be a nice way to replicate the feel of a black hole. This combined with TOM 5's head, the Toonami symbol, and the usage of the other classic Toonami font, SF Transrobotics, makes for an image I am proud to say I made. It might be hard to see clearly in certain conditions, though.

This has to be my favorite of the three. It was the first one I made, and I learned some fun stuff to use in my photo-editing future. The artists and title are done in the font Polentical Neon, available at Dafont. I originally was going to put TOM's head in the supernova, until I realized the Toonami symbol fits very nicely in a circle. So I made the cover seen above, and decided to put TOM's head on the BH Megamix cover. 

So there you have it. Enjoy! 

Oh, and for those who are curious, I use Paint.NET.
