But the image sparked bizarre fury from some, who thought the rainbow colours were a show of support for the LGBTQ+ community.
For some reason, this angered them and several took to the comments to voice their rage at the "woke" move.
“Lose the rainbow, you’re making yourself look stupid!” one wrote, with another saying they won’t listen to Pink Floyd again moving forwards.
“Are you going woke with rainbows?” another angry fan added. “Is there a straight flag? I want equal representation, don’t get me wrong, we should all be true to who we are.”

Who knew a rainbow could spark such fury?[/caption]
In response, a number of Floyd fans laughed at the misguided anger, pointing out that the rainbow has always been on the album cover.
One person wrote in the comments section: “I thought it was a joke and had to come see for myself. Are people really having tantrums over the rainbow that has ALWAYS been there in that iconic cover?”
Another added: “You know you’re homophobic when you get mad at the rainbow that has always been Pink Floyd’s logo. It shines out of the triangle; represents the start of life and all the paths taken and influences over a lifetime.”
A third said: "Ironically those complaining about a rainbow are also those that complain that everyone gets offended so easily these days."
Others on Twitter also voiced their bafflement at the rainbow-haters.
