Ernst Gamper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Gamper is a Graphic artist, notable for his album jacket and cd booklet designs for the Swiss electronic duo Yello, which almost always featured Herr Gamper's original painting. The cover of Yello's Baby album featured hand-painted original fabric designed by Gamper. Gamper designed the "corner cut" logo that Yello would use on 3 of their eighties releases, and adapted its usage to each release. As it had originally been place where a record distributor would mark a "cutout" release (and indicated both the diagonal cut and punch hole positions of such), it was likely a good humored suggestion of low expectations by the band.
