The album cover of the Clash's London Calling has become an iconagrpahic one for its genre of music.
The font is borrowed from that of Elvis Pressley's debut album - and was used to replicate the 'danger' that rock n roll ideology demands.
To synergise with the Elvis style font - the image of The Clash's bassist smashing his guitar onto the floor during a live performacne aims to re-inforce the rock n roll ideology.
Finally, the clothes worn are iconagraphical of the time with tight jeans, sleeveless jackets and leather boots.
