This is the cover of Justice's first album 'Cross', which was produced in 2007 and released on the 11th of June 2007. It was nominated for Best Electronic/dance album in 2008. The idea behind this album cover was to promote the artists intentions and work.

1. 'Genesis' - 3:54
2. 'Let There Be Light' - 4:55
3. 'D.A.N.C.E.' - 4:02

Bonus Track
13. 'D.A.N.C.E.' (rehearsal version) - 4:29

This CD cover is very minimalistic. The cross is used as their logo. A cross on its own is a very strong symbol and we personally think they used this symbol very effectively on the album. The only thing you can see is the cross, and nothing else, which means you can't get 'around' the album; your attention is drawn towards it. The most important thing is: it is the key to recognition.

The album cover differs from the cover of the single DVNO. Even though the same colours are used; black and gold/yellow, which suggests that both CD covers are connected to each other, other images are portrayed. The DVNO cover doesn't show their symbol, but their name and the title of the song. The cover matches their song as 'DVNO, four capital letters, printed in gold' is sung several times in the chorus.
