Kosh has designed covers and other iconic artworks for a literal who’s-who of recording artists, including, just for starters, Eagles’ Hotel California, The Who’s Who’s Next, the ELO logo, John and Yoko’s “War is Over” campaign, and covers for James Taylor, Ringo, Rod Stewart and Bad Company, among his scores of projects. The celebrated designer-everyone just calls him by his last name-had already served as art director for one of the most iconic album covers in music history: The Beatles’ Abbey Road, for which he famously, and riskily at the time, omitted the band’s name from its front side.
