This album cover by the offspring is another example of punk which uses the standard red white and black colour scheme, although this particular album cover focuses more on the red and black, leaving white out for the most part. By focusing mainly on these two colours, they have created a picture which is different from the original punk colour scheme, showing its own deviance, but also paying homage to the original idea. This helps to show their own punk ideals, by taking something they have done and changing it slightly enough that it is their own, they have let their views shine through their album cover.

The text is in a red colouring, and the font is of a vaguely military style. The fact that it has been chosen like that suggests to me that it is a rigid ideal, and that it is playing to a counter-type of punk, By doing this, they are further diverging from the original punk ideals, but are still playing on the same beliefs and ideas original punks had,
