Hugh Syme is a Canadian Juno Award-winning graphic artist and member of the Premier Artists Collection who is best known for his artwork and cover concepts for rock and metal bands. He is also a musician and has appeared on some Rush albums as a keyboard player. Syme is notably responsible for all of Rush's album cover art since 1975's Caress of Steel as well as creating Rush's famous Starman logo. In 1983 he told Jeffrey Morgan that he never imagined the band would use it as their main logo. One of his most notable works, 1980's Permanent Waves, depicted Canadian model Paula Turnbull smiling as her skirt flies up to reveal her underwear; the photograph was taken by placing a fan under her skirt. Turnbull would reprise her role on the live album Exit... Stage Left the next year, wearing the same outfit with her skirt hanging down. Syme also plays piano on the album Thrilling Women, which Morgan recorded with Dean Motter.
