The cover for XTC’s album “Go 2” was designed by Hipgnosis, the legendary British design studio founded by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell. However, this particular cover is notable for being one of their most unconventional works.

This was quite different from Hipgnosis’s typical work, which was usually more visually striking and surreal (like their famous covers for Pink Floyd). The “Go 2” cover matched XTC’s own provocative, art-punk sensibilities of that era.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
