i think it's very important for the artist to keep this in mind.. 
and, to be passionate enough about his/her own work that they would 
consider NOT releasing a cd on a label with a "similar packaging 
theme".. if they felt it didn't represent them...

so, i don't think ADSR is wrong at all in his concerns... it's a 
decision that should be made by the artist on a release by release 
basis or some kind of career decision..
