[kj] KJ logo

[Alexander Smith]

The `Joke have always flirted with communist imagery (although,  
honestly, I'm not sure exactly why).

When I was over in ol' Blighty in `05 for the XXV shows, Andy Misera  
and I swung by Malicious Towers, and the great Mike Coles showed us  
some artwork he *had* been working on for the band before all  
communications were cut off again (because of Big Life? Fuck, who  
remembers!) In any event, one of the images -- which I think he'd  
intended to use for the single art for "Seeing Red" -- was a female  
Red Chinese Army brigade of rifle-wielding dancers. It would've  
looked AMAZING on a t-shirt.

Frankly speaking, despite the fact THAT I STILL WANT THAT POSTER,  
BARATHY, I was never that impressed with the artwork that went into  
the XXV Gathering shows/album/DVD (i.e. the shell-brandishing,  
gasmask wearing jesters and the train).

In terms of `Joke logos, I still quite like the REVELATIONS ribbon  
design.
