That link is for the full size download of the art
I made the text 100pt font but making it any bigger just made it look imbalanced. But readability when it's the size of a postage stamp is practically impossible anyway and I think at that size you should probably be more concerned about it being eye catching and simply looking like it's the art of a professional label and not an internet forum
For a starter please look at this idea and let me know is this is something which you guys feel OK with?
I will need this white text "COLORS" to be remove from original if you like what I did after that (try to remove this white color text but on order to be really clean and HQ I will need to get this remove from original image).
Here we go:
Cheers,
Darek

I really dislike that... why do we need to have the tracks on the art? It's completely unnecessary. You can't even read them and the art would be too small to read them anyway.
And the font choices clash with the art, and the font in the middle of the circle I designed is completely tacky.
I designed this art from the ground up and if we're not going to use it the way I designed it I'd rather not use it at all. I mean, I know it's for the compilation but it's a piece of art I made for the compilation.
I think of it as similar to a track on the compilation. I wouldn't let anybody modify my music if they wanted it different, you know?

uhg. I don't think I have ever seen a compilation with the tracks on the front. I think what Sean did was good enough. We are making this more complicated than it needs to be!
This is one of those times you just go with something even if it might not be perfect, put your fist in the air, yell 'Thug Life' and hope for the best.

Less is more people. We don't even NEED to have the name of the compilation on the art... it's ART. It's being sold through digital distribution which has the name of the album right beside it at any point and time. What we should be looking for is simplicity, elegance and something that actually stands the test of time. That circle I designed is immediately recognizable, and if you guys ever did compilations in the future, simply using that circle again even if the colours changed would be enough for people to know where the compilation came from.
Look at this. This is regarded as one of the best album covers of all time, and it's incredibly simple, but it's IMMEDIATELY recognizable. It doesn't even say the artist or the album on it. and that was in a time where the album art wasn't always immediately paired with its name & artist on a digital distribution site.
i like how it looks can't decide within the 2 Sean has posted but i don't like the tracklist on the front, it's digital distribution, tracklisting belongs to cd covers

Sorry, Darek, but gotta agree with everybody else. The title/artist on the cover and the "Colors" in the middle with the tacky font really detracts from a nice and very elegant album cover.
