The CD covers for Bassnectar albums 'Divergent Spectrum' and 'Wildstyle' follow consistent branding elements to be eye-catching and promote Bassnectar's music and message. Both covers feature the artist's name in the same font alongside his logo and symbol, with 'Divergent Spectrum' using bright primary colors and unique black and white shapes on a black background, while 'Wildstyle' depicts spacemen and an explosion to represent its themes. The consistent branding carries through to the CD packaging and booklets, which list tracks and credits while also promoting Bassnectar's website and explaining his view of duality in the universe.

6. “The whole concept of the bassnectar logo/icon symbol is kind
of a play on duality, in reference to the balance of
positive/negative forces in the universe, and the relative
aspects of these forces (meaning there is not absolute ‘right’
or ‘wrong’…only subjective perspective)
Even though there is no Absolute right & wrong, and even
though even the SUBJECTIVELY wrong will never be eliminated,
nor shall “goodness prevail” …at least not absolutely…. EVEN
THOUGH that is true…. I still think that following your natural
reflex to help is good because it SUSTAINS the balance.”
