Shine (Kids in the Kitchen album)

Shine
The album's name is seen at the top left, styled in white lettering and all caps over dark blue background. Two winged, female figures are in the middle of the field with a chrome finish. They are striving towards the right as if racing each other. They are mounted on a plinth similar to a car's hood ornament. At the bottom right is the album's name, again in all caps, white lettering.
