NEW SINGLE ARTWORK : mariah carey - triumphant (get 'em) (ft. rick ross & meek mill)

OHHOLYLAWWWWD :/ Mimi...whatcha gone and done? The type placing is just awful, the added bar for the "features" at the bottom feels clunky, the size of "Triumphant" is too big...it all feels like a less classily done, almost "fan remake" of the 'Emancipation of Mimi' album cover...

NEW LOGO ARTWORK : mariah carey summer 2012

So, Mariah is coming back this summer and has unveiled a teaser pic showing hints of the visual she may be going for. Using the Aviano Serif type (that she's used for most of her albums) and a more subdued look, with metallic golds and a dark, wood brown - is she going back to a "classier" look, in the same lane as the stunning cover for 'The Emancipation Of Mimi'.
