Orpheus Gold

Inside the image.

On a plain white, square cover, a large circular gold emblem is centred and fills most of the space. Its broad outer band is rendered in graduated yellow and olive-gold tones, with darker shading along parts of the inner and outer edges that gives it a rounded, reflective appearance. A narrow white gap separates it from a second, slimmer gold ring around the central field. The emblem is nearly symmetrical, though its highlights and shading vary around the circumference.

Inside the rings, the words “ORPHEUS” and “GOLD” are stacked in large gold serif capitals, with “GOLD” noticeably larger. Beneath them is a deep navy-blue outline resembling a lyre or harp: its curved frame rises into two pointed shoulders and sweeps down into a broad U-shaped base. Fine vertical strings cross the white interior. A red heraldic dragon, with curling body, raised limbs, wings and a pointed tail, is positioned among the strings at the centre. The dragon and strings overlap visually within the blue frame.

At the top of the cover, above the emblem, two short lines of small, centred, dark-blue serif lettering read “Côr Meibion Orffiws y Rhos” and “The Rhos Orpheus Male Choir”. The text sits close to the upper edge, with a modest band of white space between it and the gold circle. The artwork is a clean, digitally rendered graphic rather than a photograph; its crisp shapes and restrained palette of white, gold, navy and red give the central device strong contrast against the empty background.
