to it." Title and artwork will.i.am revealed the title of the Black Eyed Peas' third studio album to be Elephunk on June 11, 2002, explaining: "An elephant ain't the fastest, swiftest animal, but it walks smoothly. It's fat. It's heavy. Thump, thump. You can just picture an elephant's movement. That's the sound of the album. We have a lot of trombones, fat basslines, fat grooves, and nice, thick horn layers and arrangements. Just fat funk." The album cover for Elephunk was designed by Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri and uses images of the group members photographed by Markus Klinko. It features each member in a corner and an artwork of an elephant's head in the center against a light blue background. The cover marked the first time the group was credited as The Black Eyed Peas, the name they would retire in 2018, when they removed the prefix.
