Over at Hardformat.org, you can check out a growing historical collection of music-related print and package design including vinyl, CDs, cassettes and more. With music formats evolving so quickly and modern physical packaging following vinyl into the category of fanatical collection, music-related design is becoming more obscure. Hardformat is aware of this and has created a place to find and admire both old and new music design work.

“It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design.”

While perusing their designs, I came across some great designs for a 2002 Sigur Rós compact disc and a 1981 Kraftwerk vinyl.
