Album Cover Artwork Description
The front cover of The Best of Skyhooks features a bold, high‑contrast design typical of Mushroom Records’ late‑70s aesthetic. The artwork showcases a stylised collage of the band members, often using vivid colours and sharp outlines that reflect Skyhooks’ flamboyant glam‑rock identity. The typography is large and angular, with the band name prominently displayed across the top. The overall look is energetic, theatrical, and unmistakably Australian rock — a perfect visual match for the band’s iconic sound.
