Oasis Single Covers

Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds is a fairly new band so they do not have a lot of single covers to look at. I decided to look at a band with plenty of single covers that were in our genre, who better than Oasis, Noels former band.

The bands name is always written in the same style, this creates Oasis's house style and develops a relationship between all of these single covers meaning they are all linked. However on certain tracks they have decided to change the colour with them favouring the plain black and white. When people see this they are instantly reminded of oasis straight away.

The position of the name is varied, generally the easy thing to do is to place the name at the top but Oasis have not stuck to one position, and even place it on the guitar for the video importance of Being Idle.

Not all of the single covers actually state the name of the song, this is interesting because how are people supposed to know what song they are buying. Going 'by the book' you would say that you cannot have a single cover without the name of the single on it by Oasis are notorious for going against the grain.

I have noticed that three if these single covers are fairly similar, the covers with the dark background with the semi circle of light, are easily linked.
