Editing 2112 (album) (section)

== Artwork ==
The album was packaged in a [[gatefold]] sleeve designed and produced by longtime Rush cover artist [[Hugh Syme]]. It marks the first appearance of the emblem later known by fans as the "Starman" logo, which was adopted into the band's stage design and future album covers. Peart used it on the front bass drum heads of his kit from 1977 to 1983, and again in 2004 and 2015. The Red Star, a symbol of the Solar Federation depicted in the "2112" suite, represents what Peart described as "any [[collectivist]] mentality", while the man represents the protagonist of the story and to Peart, "the abstract man against the masses". Syme said: "That he is nude is just a classic tradition&nbsp;... the pureness of his person and creativity without the trappings of other elements such as clothing". In July 2013, the Starman logo was featured on a [[Canada Post]] stamp honouring Rush.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canadapost.ca/shop/canadian-recording-artists/p-413899111.jsf;CPO_JSESSIONID=pc84STdfcSKx5hfHJ0L77pMhMMtQlnRbJTLcpV8YVBhGG9n2yvhz!627472088?execution=e1s1 |work=Canada Post |title=Rush Booklet of 10 – Cool stamps and collectibles to honour Canadian Recording Artists |access-date=17 August 2013 |archive-date=2 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210402015114/https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/shop/canadian-recording-artists/p-413899111.jsf;CPO_JSESSIONID=QSiQRvtPoe5uq7GyzL0lzLoiDVQNLOAcxv3KAjSc55FMsaahoIqO!-1272021863?execution=e1s1|url-status=live}}</ref> The gatefold includes a photograph of the band dressed in white and standing in front of a wind machine, and was a shoot Lifeson remembered for being particularly awkward.<ref name=RS2016/>
