Houston we have a problem .... 
My lady saw the CD cover for the first time and since she is involved  in a lot of spiritual things and stuff like that, she had an important (for here) remark
It seems that the spiral is turning in the wrong way.
Spirals turning to the left represents negative energies, she said

[offthewall]

Now, personally, I would say that the spiral is turning to the right, i.e. clockwise from the outside to the centre! 

But, if you want to try it the other way it would look like this.
 

[Laguna Rising]

Well, personally I didn't notice that, and I can't tell a way from the other...
But, please, No dark energy here...

Cheers

If it makes here happy why not
After all she will be on the CD

Need to put the titles back where they were, Kara-Moon in upper left and InaSpin in lower right.
 personal opinion..

Also- human eye sees from top left to bottom right normally.Experiments have proven this. This seems to make the original direction look better to me.
 Not arguing about any kind of spirituality,(or cost you any dinners), just going by eye.
This new one appears counter clockwise. Against the grain. My eye goes across the swirl instead of with it.
Putting the titles back where they were may help with that.

Sorry Kara, I gotta agree with rharv.........

let's wait til Moon is back from the trip and let him put it to the vote?

As it happens, it really doesn't matter from the design and production point of view.

Have to agree with James and Rharv: the original one is turning clockwise; so no negative energy there.

No problem guys, just leave it as it is

i throw a little one (topic - in a spin) into this round ...a small pastime with ultrafractal xD ...cya

ps: the previous suggestions are very creative...

Some really good ideas floating around here... here's a little thing I did with one of Offthewalls original designs (don't worry, I flipped the spiral! ) to suggest an alternative font type and position. I also took the liberty of coming up with a pun on the original cd title which might be fun too.

I like that "Inner Spin" .

My general suggestion would also be to experiment with the colours of the spiral. I do not particularly like the rainbow coloured look. It's too much in the face to my liking. 

I like this background. But it all depends on which colours you use for the background and the spiral. They have to go well together. I would opt for a more adventurous approach in which the background and the spiral blend with each other. I'm no graphic expert so I can't come up with an example of what I mean. Actually Marc already did this a bit now that I had a second look.

@Marc  Niet slecht gedaan, jochie

This is realy nice.
I think it would look great as background for the inner pages of the booklet

What do you think ofthewall ?

Let the graphics experts here decide about colours, I dunno nothing about colours.
But I do know that Moon won't like that you changed his title while he was away

I'll reserve judgement on this one until Moon returns.
He can have the casting vote.
