The track title "video killed the radio star" appears in large white letters, centered on the cover.

The Island label logo is clearly visible in the bottom right. The dominant colors are yellow, black, red, and green, offering a decidedly retro style typical of the late 1970s or early 1980s. The illustration is inspired by the pop and new wave graphic codes of the era, reinforcing the vintage character of this record.
