How about some pixel pattern that looks like some stereotypical cheesy chrimbus wrapping paper, and a lil tag that just has the name of the comp? simple and effective.
edit: i enjoyed getting to watch auxcide's gif the whole time I typed this.

I don't want it too corny though. I did like the idea of a Christmas tree with a bunch of a chipware around it. Or something else to that effect (I dunno what to do if this has more than just Christmas)
But I do like the art now too. I think it could have the tracklist on it still.Edit: actually snesei, it'd be awesome to have a real photo of an eggnog carton with with the album name and something like a soundchip or a dmg/nes/controller on it.
I might try to do a mock up of what's in my mind, but I m no pro or anything.
How about- dare I say- MULTIPLE COVERS. We can commission multiple covers and then vote for our favorite (including a diff title if need be) and then have a pdf that will download with which contains every cover we liked but not the main kind.
Cus I really like those ideas too. I'll see if my photographer friends are interested.

Or if you wanted we could have each person do their own cover and have each one tagged to their specific track.
IIRC Pornophonique did something like that, have a different cover for each track.
Also, random thought I just had, since this is going up on Bandcamp, why not have it pay-what-you-want instead of just free, and if anyone decides to give a little money, donate it to something like Toys for Tots or Child's Play?
Gotta spread the holiday spirit, guys.

Can you change my choice? I decided on Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! and dropped All I Want for Christmas, because PianoGameboy wanted dibs on that.

Sent you a PM with my track. Classic Laffe Christmas style; very messy, haha. Had fun making it though, hope you like it! ^^

I like it too! I'll have to figure out how to do it and talk with Sad Panda to see who can set it up, let us know if you have any preferences.
Also regarding multiple tracks my only concern with letting everyone cover your first choice and having multiple versions of each song is pretty cool, but then we'd probably end up with like 5 versions of a few songs instead of 20 fresh christmas tracks.
BUT if we wanna do this we can do it this way: We set it up so everyone has one official submission but if you guys wanna do a song someone else did we can set it up so they are bonus tracks on the Bandcamp so that they can have an addition to the 15-20 tracks and HEY ITS A DIFFERENT VERSION TO ANOTHER SONG. We will set it up so that its like an attached bonus album .zip or something so then people aren't deprived of multiple versions but aren't swamped with a potentially 30 track album so sift through, how does that sound?

I alredy have a cover made for my individual track. I am not done with the track though... I wanna do the donation thing though.
I liked that eggnog idea, but it would be hard to do that right.

Ok guys, so after much deliberation I have this proposal to offer regarding cost, and art has some rebuttals for later but I'll let him voice them.
So we release the album on October 31st for free, with a pay what you want until December 7th. The funds will go directly to my personal paypal but on a seperate bandcamp that I will make, and I will post the tally for you guys and we can decide what to do with the money then, such as: buy 1,2 toys for tots toys and then spare change goes in Salvation Army buckets. Easy to reach, easy to manage, and then we can have fun picking out toys :3
Now as my Paypal has little to no activity 99% of the time, money will be easy to track and there's no chance of corruption of like an old ebay fee coming through or whatever, plus their statements are easy to read and find out where it comes from, etc.
Alright now for cover art: We should post another thread in General Discussion to see if anyone has art to contribute and then vote on. Sound good?
I will make OP thread updates when we decide. Thanks!
Also: By friday I will make general announcement PM's to Everyone regarding the collab to follow up and see how everyone is doing and to make sure they understand that they are entitled to multiple submissions. :3 Thank you guys! This is going great I love working with you all.
