Trivia
- The Princess portrait on the cover of the L42 album has become an unofficial emblem of the group. It appears in silhouette on the Strategy / Early Tapes album; on the labels of the UK vinyl editions of The Pursuit of Accidents; and in outline on the backs of Standing in the Light and True Colours. A modified version appears on the cover of 2006's Retroglide. The Princess also adorns the cover of the band's 1982 single "The Chinese Way" and 1983 single "Out of Sight, Out of Mind." In 2002, Status Graphite, a maker of custom basses and a company associated for more than two decades with Mark King, issued a "Princess" version of its KingBasses with a colour rendering of the famous logo.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
