From Wikipedia:

They Might Be Giants, sometimes called The Pink Album, is the debut studio album from Brooklyn-based band They Might Be Giants. It was released by Bar/None in 1986. The album generated two singles, “Don’t Let’s Start” and “(She Was A) Hotel Detective”. […]

The album’s cover art was illustrated by Rodney Alan Greenblat, who had no prior association with the band. It extends to the back cover of the album, and shows John Linnell and John Flansburgh riding a large blue dog. John Linnell commented that the illustration caused the record to be mistaken for a children’s album. The art was pasted up by John Flansburgh.

The title on the front cover uses caps from Filmotype Metro. The text on the back cover is set in roman and italic styles from ITC Garamond.
