Tantric’s logo was based on a modified script from the Thai alphabet (handsomely redrawn by young Glen Nakasako). At the desert photoshoot we discovered the band was going au naturel underneath their rented $5,000 leather pants. So we drove into town and found some boxers and giant ladies underwear for them to put on. They chose the ladies underwear (because we “forgot” to tell them about the boxers). That inspired the grunginess of the package.
