[edit] Repo Man comparison

Regarding the following statement: "Additionally, Public Image Ltd.'s Album cover design and colors are very similar, if not identical, to the many generic items featured in 1984's Repo Man motion picture." Isn't it more likely that the concept is similar to generic products themselves? They certainly weren't/aren't unique to the film Repo Man. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 03:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The colour scheme and layout is identical to that of Repo Man's products - with the connection to the punk scene, I would bet a large sum that PiL based Album on Repo Man. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahubling (talk • contribs) 04:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

As I mentioned, the design concept (i.e. dark blue text on a white and light blue background) is the same as that of generic products (i.e. dark blue text on a white and light blue background). Generic brands were around before, and are not unique to, Repo Man. You would bet a large sum, based on what? A visual comparison between the two is original research. If the film specifically influenced the album design, then we should cite a reference to that effect. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Read "Trivia" at the bottom left. Is this a legit enough citation? [1]

OK, I think that would work. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
