Possible Koi No Yokan Artwork?

In searching for new information about the new Deftones album Koi No Yokan, I discovered three possible images that could be the artwork for the upcoming album. All of which are presented in articles like artwork, but aren't explicitly described as such. It should be noted that any or all of these may be fan art, and likely won't become the official artwork, but it's still fun to speculate and wonder.



First let's start with the least likely. This cover art, found at SmellsLikeAlternative.net, has a simple white background with various SMS smileys and hearts. There's also a red lipstick print on the bottom left corner.

Supposedly the album title has something to do with love, so the cover fits that theme. However, I think it's too simple for Deftones, and not abstract enough for what they're really known for.


Our second possible cover art comes from OverDrive.

This image has a brown background and Victorian-era style woman's silhouette. However, the woman also has antlers. Hmmmmm...

I'm not really sure what to make of this, but it's certainly abstract and weird--like Deftones. I think it's more likely to be the cover than the previous image, but still unlikely.


The final one seems the most likely to end up being the album's cover art, through I'm still skeptical.

It originates from Dutch * Deftones, a tumblr page presumably ran by a Dutch fan of Deftones.

The image is fairly similar in style and color to the artwork for the promotional single "Leathers". This image even has the album's release date and record label watermarked on it. However, Deftones aren't really known for have similar artwork between their singles and corresponding studio albums. So I think this is also somewhat unlikely.

What do you think? Are any of these images likely to be the album's cover art? Would you have a problem with any of these ending up being the cover for Koi No Yokan? Leave a comment below.
