"NORTH WIND" ist ein Word-Art-Stück mit gefrorenen Gletscherbuchstaben. Kantige Eiskristall-Versalien mit Frosttextur, Schneekappen und Eiszapfen leuchten hellblau auf schwarzem Grund, in zwei Zeilen gestapelt. Wort oder Name, Eiston und Hintergrundfarbe lassen sich austauschen.

Album cover artwork, square. The words "NORTH WIND" are the whole design, stacked on two lines and centred: "NORTH" on top and "WIND" below, both in the same width so the two lines form one solid block that fills about 85% of the frame width. Lettering is sharp Elder Futhark-inspired capitals built only from straight horizontal, vertical and 45-degree strokes. Tall and narrow, with no curves, and every terminal cut at an acute blade angle. Each letter stays clearly readable as its Latin letter. The letters are solid glacial ice with deep clarity. Blue-white light scatters under the surface and glows from inside each stroke. Micro-frost needle crystals grow along the stroke direction on the outer faces. Edges are cleaved into flat mirror facets with crisp geometric boundaries. Small prismatic rainbow flecks sit where strokes meet. Each diagonal throws a pale ghost double of cold light beside it. A thin dusting of snow rests on the top edges only, and a few short icicles hang from the bottom of the letters. Neither covers the letterforms. Background is a plain deep midnight navy-black with a faint cold blue radial glow behind the lettering and a soft vignette. No scenery, no extra text, no border. Light is cold and dramatic, from behind and above, with crisp white highlights on the facets and a dark, heavy metal mood. Everything sits inside a safe margin of about 6%.
