Insane Clown Posse - First 6 Joker's Cards Raw Vectors

         So, on r/Juggalo, I noticed a post of a very high quality upload of Ringmaster's album art. On that post, the original uploader commented that they got it from a press kit PDF for The Wraith Shangri-La, found on the wayback machine. In the PDF, I noticed that there was album art for the first 6 joker's cards, all 100% vectors. This is important, because due to the fact that these are vectors, that means that these are the highest quality art possible for these albums. 
         Using Inkscape, I extracted all of the raw vectors for each album. I have included 600DPI PNGs, 2000DPI PNGs, and the raw SVG files. As a bonus, I have included album art restorations of Ringmaster, Riddle Box, The Great Milenko, The Amazing Jeckel Brothers (both variants), and The Wraith: Shangri-La using all of these vectors, alongside the original background for Shangri-La, sourced from Getty Images. There is also the ICP logo and Hatchet Man included, as those were also in the PDF file. If there is interest, I can make high res versions of every color variant of The Great Milenko (Green, Purple, Gold, ETC), just let me know in the comments below.


         Some side notes:

  • Carnival Of Carnage seems to have been edited, its ever so slightly different, thus there is no restoration for that one.
  • I have included 2 versions of Ringmaster, one mimicking the original CD cover, and one mimicking the Vinyl cover.
  • I have also included 2 versions of Shangri-La. One has the background color matched to the original CD/Vinyl cover, and one is the color of the original image.
  • Someone mentioned that Milenko's hands have the wrong color outline on Reddit. That has been fixed.
  • All of the restorations are 5000x5000 besides Shangri-La. This is because the section of the original image they used only came out to around 800x800.
  • The raw vector of the logo has a very thick black outline, there was a background layer for that which was black. The one with the deleted background is in the "Thinner Black Outline" folder. The raw vector still has a black background, and I could not figure out a way to remove that. I removed it using the magic eraser tool in Photoshop, which is why there is no raw vector for the outlineless logo.
  • Included in the MEGA is the PDF that I sourced all of the vectors from.
  • If the link goes down, pm me on Reddit at /u/mrgameandwatch09
I mainly uploaded these so that people could make fanart, alternate album art, shit like that. Go wild! Enjoy!

EDIT 5/21/20 - I added an album art restoration for Carnival of Carnage (despite it being edited) per request. I also added every color variant for The Great Milenko as it didnt take very long (raw vectors+album art restorations for those)

EDIT 11/10/20 - I added an album art restoration for the split Jeckel Brothers. The vectors for that one were found in another press kit PDF. Vectors are also included for that one.

EDIT 4/4/24 - I added a version of Ringmaster that has the same colors as the first press CD/Cassette.
