Kanye & Cudi are deciding on the cover for their upcoming collab album Everybody Wins. They have three at the moment and they have commissioned another one not too long ago. For this one in particular they worked with a German artist. The idea is that the fans can use the cover as their canvas to create their own cover. Similar to something they did with Yeezus. Web integration and everything. There was also talks about including stickers with CDs/Vinyl (yup, looks like Kanye backed down from that streaming only bullshit) for the fans to "play around" with but I'm pretty sure they've abandoned that idea. (Murakami did the drawings for those stickers) This cover is just the plain version without the Murakami drawings. (I really hope they include those them if they choose to go with this cover)
I don't know too much about the other two covers. One of them uses a dark turquoise and a light beige as main colors. The other one is sunset colors(?) Not sure how to explain it. Has a CRT-look to it.
Virgil is back as creative director.
Right now they're having some issues with sample clearance. I remember hearing that they're negotiating with Sigur Rós mgmt right now.
Kid Cudi is signing with GOOD again once his contract with Republic runs out. I don't know for sure but I think the plan is to release the album once he's signed. I'd expect a spring release.
Believe me or not I really don't give a fuck. I know a lot of people got disappointed on NYE so there you go.

Oh yeah, one of the drawings is a running Dropout Bear. Other drawings were lightning, some eyes, some flying creatures, a car and what I assume is a new character made to represent Cudi. (The dropout bears counterpart I guess.) Also a city skyline, a grassy terrain, and some other weird illustrations.

i want to believe Ye
Austin Cooper

Brandon Mitchell
Imagine a bear on the moon. Cudi and Ye fans know what I'm talking about.
Colton Collins
that cover fucking sucks. the quality of the cover WILL determine the quality of the album.
Regardless, you know I'm copping a vinyl
Mason Howard
can you imagine being payed thousands of dollars by some dumb rapper so you can just slap some shit together in photoshop that anyone could make
Jaxon Brooks

this is probably the first thing everybody thought of, please tell me you don't actually think you're being deep
Lincoln Ross
That's the status quo for 95% of rap albums, unfortunately.
Adrian Parker
I'm not being deep but it's a cool concept.
Liam Ward
bullshit
John Wilson
I agree but it could have terrible, terrible execution if done wrong
Logan Price
Is there a website to vote for this?
Xavier Phillips
A quick google search doesn't say shit about Everybody Wins. I think we would have heard about it if this contest was actually a thing.
Camden Thomas
You have anything physical you can share OP? Like something that can cement your claims?
Cooper Lewis
