I See Something #30

I see something round.

Is it their logo from the 70's? In fact, Rick has it as the background now in the original blue. I believe these was the cover used for the "Hurting Each other" 45.

Could it be the gold collector's coin/keyring available through the fan club in the 70's. It had the famous Carpenters silhouette and logo on it.


By the way Beaner... the background pic I have up right now is the picture sleeve for "Rainy Days And Mondays".

Are they the drums that Karen played? They are round in shape.

Beaner,

I am impressed --- you got it on the first take! I have always liked the high-contrast circular seal logo used on the album flap of "A Song for You" and sleeves for these three consecutive singles (and their respective B-sides):

"Rainy Days and Mondays / Saturday"
"Superstar / Bless the Beasts and Children"
"Hurting Each Other / Maybe It's You"

The logo is based on dramatically-lit photos taken in a session around this time, and is a forerunner to the logo graphic later used on the sleeve of "Only Yesterday / Happy" and the back cover of "Horizons." The latter logo is based on the photo used on the cover of Ray Coleman's book, "The Carpenters: The Untold Story: An Authorized Biography."

Beaner, I remember your glee when wisejester7 did not notice that her avatar contained the answer to a game you devised some months back. I am glad you didn't take the current background image of the forum for granted!

Okay, beaner, it's all yours!

Hey, alright! I gotta think good and hard about this next one. I'll try to come back tonight or first thing tomorrow morning with game #31.

Thanks good old dreams.

You're right Rick about the blue but the logo is there for Hurting Each Other and mainly I had the logo on my mind and not particularly the color.

Good job Mary Ann...

I love it Dreams... you used my images of my original picture sleeves with all the wear and tear on them for years of ownership.
