PinkFloyddarksideofthemoon So maybe this one is a little obvious, but honestly, what else was our number one choice going to be? The iconic image of a prism splitting a beam of light into the rainbow spectrum has become pretty much the defining image for both Pink Floyd and Thorgerson's art in general. It's the poster that has adorned countless teenage bedroom's and University dorm rooms. It has been constantly referenced and parodied in popular culture, for good reason. In response to Thorgerson's death Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmore, said that €œthe artworks that he created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work.€ We agree.
