Hipgnosis

Hipgnosis was an English design group that featured Storm Elvin Thorgerson, Aubrey Powell and Peter Martin "Sleazy" Christopherson. They designed many album covers, mostly for the progressive rock bands. 
Thorgerson and Powell designed an iconic cover for Pink Floyd's second album A Saucerful of Secrets, also creating the artwork for most of their albums with the exception of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, The Wall and The Final Cut. Thorgerson would be the contributor to Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell, Shine On and other releases. 
Hipgnosis would later make album covers for progressive rock bands such as The Nice, Electric Light Orchestra, Genesis, Flash, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, 10cc and Styx. They also made album covers for Led Zeppelin, Wings, AC/DC and Al Stewart. 
Hipgnosis ended in 1983, but Thorgerson worked on many other albums until his death in 2013.
