This album marks a return to the artwork of Russell Mills, whose work was previously used for ''[[March Of The Pigs (halo)|March Of The Pigs]]'', ''The Downward Spiral'', ''[[Further Down The Spiral]]'' and ''[[Closure]]''. There is a different cover for each of the five editions. Reznor stated in a radio interview[http://soundcloud.com/q877/walt-talks-with-trent-reznor] that he couldn't choose between the various covers and decided to use them all. He also stated that Mills had suggested the album title.The typeface used is DINEngschrift in lowercase (the same typeface was used on the previous Russell Mills designs and in all caps on ''[[The Perfect Drug (halo)|The Perfect Drug]]''.)
Some of the alternate covers are used within the packaging of the other editions, i.e. the cover of the standard CD is inside the gatefold of the vinyl, the cover of the iTunes Deluxe Edition is on the booklet of the standard CD, etc. The covers of the international and Japanese standard CDs are a variation on the cover of the US standard CD, with the painting oriented sideways and, in the case of the Japanese cover, photographed from a slightly different vantage point and lighter in hue. The digital Audiophile Mastered Version cover is a variation on the standard digital cover, with the painting again oriented sideways.
