'''Gary Talpas''' was the original art director for [[Nine Inch Nails]] from 1989 to 1999.  He designed the iconic [[Logo History|NIN logo]], as well as most of the sleeve artwork for NIN releases.  He also served as art director more widely for [[Nothing Records]], as well as working on merch and catalog design for [[Object]].  He was succeeded as NIN art director by [[Rob Sheridan]].

Talpas also appeared briefly in an early live NIN performance lineup.  According to [[Trent Reznor]], they "needed an extra body" on stage.  Even though he didn't know how to play the keyboard, they had him mime playing it.
