I have to say, I love the cover. The "CARPENTERS" logo looks a bit off in terms of shape, though (to me anyways).
just looking at the track listing on this, I`m wondering if there`s a spoiler alert here, as this maybe the order of the voting! just a thought
this tie-in CD release has never been done for any of the other artists featured in the "Nation's Favourite" series of episodes
I just compared the logo with my cover of "From The Top" and the only difference I notice is that the bottom of the letters E and N in the middle of the logo on "From The Top" are curved rather than straight.I have to say, I love the cover. The "CARPENTERS" logo looks a bit off in terms of shape, though (to me anyways).
I made an animated GIF to compare the logo on the NATION'S FAVOURITE album cover to the original logo. And there are definitely some differences as mentioned above. Kudos to theninjarabbit for bringing it to everyone's attention!
The source for the original logo is from the Tan album. Since this is where the logo made its first appearance, I figured this would be the best source to use. I took the cover for the Tan album, inverted it and converted it to black and white to make it easier to compare, because the background on the NATION'S FAVOURITE cover is dark. Here is the original animated GIF with the Tan album in color.
Hi
If thats the order of the voting i canot understand why Hurting each other is at no 6 and Its going to take some time is no 8.These 2 singles were never released in the Uk and never get any airplay.The majority of people have never heard of these songs only Carpenters fans.And why is merry christmas darling not listed ? at least it chartrd at no 45 in 1971 and no 25 in 1990.The same goes for Santa claus is comin to town no 37 in 1975.
It almost looks like the logo might've had some sort of embossing effect applied, in order to give the logo's edge a rounded appearance.

adam, I`m just second guessing here really! won`t be surprised if `close to you` isn't the favourite though.
According to Wikipedia, "Close To You" only reached #6 on the UK charts, while both "Yesterday Once More" and "Please Mr. Postman" hit #2 and went silver.
