The cover art for this cloud-rap album is very simple. It follows a contemporary art style known as 'Vaporwave', which is art based around internet culture of the late 90s-early 2000s. This album art follows the trend by using the 'tacky' graphic design that many people used on their own social media accounts during the time such as Myspace and AIM.
The background is used as it is prominently dark colours to represent the unknown in Unknown Memory. The pattern of the background is important also as it follows the art style as it is a typical pattern used on websites in the late 90s.
The title text is faded as it also represents the unknowing in the Unknown Memory. The key beneath the title is a reference to lyrics within the song Leanworld, which is in the album. The lyrics are 'The Key and the Gate it's a Leanworld'. The song talks about losing a loved one whilst high and coming down and not realising what has happened, hinting at the title 'Unknown Memory'.
