'''Hugh Syme''' is a Canadian [[Juno Awards|Juno Award]]-winning graphic artist and member of the Premier Artists Collection (PAC), best known for his artwork and cover concepts for rock and metal bands. He is also a musician and has contributed as a keyboard player on several [[Rush (band)|Rush]] albums. 

==Career==
Syme has been responsible for all of Rush's album cover art since 1975's ''[[Caress of Steel]]'' and is the creator of Rush's famous Starman logo. In 1983, he told [[Jeffrey Morgan (writer)|Jeffrey Morgan]] that he never imagined the band would use it as their main logo.<ref>Morgan, Jeffrey. CREEM Magazine, 1983.</ref> Syme also plays piano on the album ''Thrilling Women,'' which Morgan recorded with [[Dean Motter]].<ref>[http://bongobeat.com/JefMo_ThrWo.php ''Thrilling Women: The Lost Air Pirates Sessions – Toronto: 1978 – 1980''<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

His client base includes major record companies such as [[Geffen Records]], [[EMI Records]], [[Mercury Records]], [[RCA Records]], [[Capitol Records]], [[Sony Music]], [[Atlantic Records]], [[Warner Records]], and [[A&M Records]].<ref name="hughsyme1">{{cite web |url=http://www.hughsyme.com/test.html |title=Hugh Syme |publisher=Hugh Syme |access-date=2014-07-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140730192150/http://www.hughsyme.com/test.html |archive-date=2014-07-30 }}</ref>

[[Iron Maiden]] fans remember him best as the designer of ''[[The X Factor (album)|The X Factor]]'' cover, which depicts the band's mascot [[Eddie (Iron Maiden)|Eddie]] in a dissection. It is noted for its gritty realism. While all previous Maiden albums featured oil paintings, the ''X Factor'' Eddie was a puppet with some digital enhancements to improve its appearance. In some countries, the cover was deemed so gruesome that a less graphic alternative was offered (the alternative cover is actually the back of the original CD booklet).

[[Def Leppard]]'s ''[[Retro Active]]'' album cover, which he co-designed with Nels Israelson, features a woman sitting at a dressing table, gazing into a mirror. From another perspective, the image takes the form of a skull (a type of vanitas art), with the woman's head forming the left eye socket and her reflected head in the mirror creating the right eye socket. The mirror itself shapes the skull, while the accessories on the dressing table form the nose, nostrils, and teeth. This design was inspired by [[Charles Allan Gilbert]]'s most famous work, ''All Is Vanity'' (1892).

Other bands for which Syme has created artwork include [[Megadeth]], [[Saga (band)|Saga]], [[Styx (band)|Styx]], [[Altered State (band)|Altered State]], [[Fates Warning]], [[Whitesnake]], [[Queensrÿche]], [[Aerosmith]], and [[Dream Theater]].

==Controversy==

=== Clip art and stock imagery usage ===
Syme has been criticized for his usage of clip art and stock imagery. In 2011, heavy metal music-themed news website [[MetalSucks]] called attention to the clip art Syme used for Dream Theater's ''[[A Dramatic Turn of Events]]'', as well as noted the same clip art image appears on [[Norway|Norwegian]] [[progressive metal]] band [[Circus Maximus (Norwegian band)|Circus Maximus]]'s 2005 album ''[[The 1st Chapter (album)|The 1st Chapter]]''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Neilstein |first=Vince |date=2011-08-08 |title=DREAM THEATER USED CLIP ART FOR THEIR NEW ALBUM COVER |url=https://www.metalsucks.net/2011/08/08/dream-theater-used-clip-art-for-their-album-cover/ |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=MetalSucks |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2010-02-14 |title=Circus Maximus Official Website - www.circusmaximussite.com |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100214212724/http://www.circusmaximussite.com/discography.htm |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=web.archive.org}}</ref> As written by ''MetalSucks'': "Dream Theater might’ve gotten away with it if wasn’t for those pesky kids in Circus Maximus, whose 2005 album featured the very same $15.00 clip art image on the cover."<ref name=":0" />

=== Double-selling artwork allegations ===
Upon release of Dream Theater's ''[[Parasomnia (album)|Parasomnia]]'' in February 2025, allegations quickly emerged of Syme potentially double-selling artwork, as his ''Parasomnia'' artwork appeared identical to his artwork on Orion's ''The Lightbringers''<ref>{{Cite web |last=wookubus |date=2025-02-10 |title=Artist Called Out For Allegedly Licensing Same Piece Of Artwork To Dream Theater & Orion |url=https://www.theprp.com/2025/02/10/news/artist-called-out-for-allegedly-licensing-same-piece-of-artwork-to-dream-theater-orion/ |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=Theprp.com |language=en-US}}</ref>, released six-months prior on August 16, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mind |first=The Prog |date=2024-08-14 |title=Orion – The Lightbringers |url=https://theprogmind.com/2024/08/14/orion-the-lightbringers/ |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=The PROG Mind |language=en}}</ref> Taking to social media on February 7, 2025, Orion's Ben Jones called out Syme in a [[Facebook]] post: "Is this for real?! A piece of artwork in the new Dream Theater deluxe edition is the EXACT same piece of artwork that was in ''The Lightbringers'' booklet for the song 'The Ghosts Among Us' ... Hugh Syme did the artwork for my album and theirs, so I think I can see where this is going..."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Seneca |date=2025-02-11 |title=Dream Theater’s Artist Accused of Selling the Same Artwork to Multiple Bands |url=https://themosh.net/dream-theaters-artist-accused-of-selling-the-same-artwork-to-multiple-bands/ |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=The Mosh Network |language=en-US}}</ref> While Syme remained silent on the matter, Jones followed up: "I’ve never suggested plagiarism – in fact, I’ve repeatedly emphasized that Dream Theater are also victims of Hugh’s negligence." As Dream Theater's manager Frank Solomon reached out privately to Jones, Jones recalled: "We had a very amicable exchange ... Despite owing me nothing, Frank made a very kind offer, which I plan to accept. I want to be clear – Dream Theater committed no wrongdoing in this situation."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mäenpää |first=Arto |date=2025-02-11 |title=Artist under fire for allegedly selling same artwork to both Dream Theater and Orion |url=https://chaoszine.net/artist-under-fire-for-allegedly-selling-same-artwork-to-both-dream-theater-and-orion/ |access-date=2025-05-16 |website=Chaoszine |language=en-US}}</ref>
