[[Image:Logo_History.png|thumb|Overviewof some of the logos]][[Nine Inch Nails]] has had many logos throughout its history, and while the original logo is still considered the band's "main" logo, this is a list of all logos that have been used over the years. On the visual strength of the standard logo, an article from ''The Fader'' magazine[https://www.thefader.com/2013/09/23/nin-design-artifacts-trent-reznor] stated:<blockquote>"The NIN logomark, which was created by Reznor and graphic designer [[Gary Talpas]], first appeared in the "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" video and has been used, largely unaltered, since 1989. It is practically flawless. It utilizes uniform line weights, mathematic spacing, bold letterforms. "NIN" is a true acronym, as opposed to an initialism. Its abbreviation is an alternate spelling of the first word it represents. The mark is symmetrical. It is graphic. It is containerized. It is legible. It is easily recreated from memory. It reproduces well at all sizes. And the list goes on."</blockquote>
