The album's cover is the last to be designed by Storm Thorgerson, a renowned English graphic designer. Thorgerson died 3 months after the album's release. Thorgerson also created the artwork for Puzzle, Only Revolutions, and the singles from those albums. To reveal the cover on the band's website, Biffy Clyro asked the fans to tweet hashtag #biffyopposites on Twitter. After 9000 tweets in 12 hours, the full cover had become visible.[23] The cover is supposed to depict the oldest living tree in the world, located in Chile. Neil said: "I loved the original image of the tree, and I got thinking about how strong the roots must be, and how strong my band is - how we can deal with anything, because we have each other".[24]
