Buddah Label Design Variations
- 1967—BUDDAH RECORDS in stylized black letters at the bottom. Singles were designated with green labels, albums with red labels
- 1968-1972—Multi-color "kaleidoscope" label with silhouette of a Shiva deity (not Buddha) at the bottom of the label between the words BUDDAH and RECORDS (same format for both singles and albums)
- 1972-1978—Maroon label with pink circle around outer edge, BUDDAH RECORDS at top of label in white letters (deliberately borrowing from the font used on Charisma Records' "Mad Hatter" label for a uniform branding). Singles feature the head of an actual Buddha statue at the top of the label, albums show the entire statue at the bottom. When Arista took over distribution in 1978, the Arista logo and disclaimer were added by stamp at the bottom, starting with this label format
- 1978-1983—Black label with multi-colored "B" logo at top in a box, BUDDAH in white letters under the "B" in a subsection of the box, Arista logo and disclaimer at the bottom (same format for singles and albums)

Famous quotes containing the words label, design and/or variations:
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
