Changes

Several rumors have persisted about the origins of the name "[[Nine Inch Nails]]", one being that [[Reznor]] chose to reference the story of Jesus' crucifixion with nine inch long spikes. Others claimed that [[Reznor]] was inspired by the sight of nine inch fingernails on Freddy Krueger.[8] [[Reznor]] asserts that he coined the name partly because it "abbreviated easily", rather than for "any literal meaning". [[Gary Talpas]] and [[Reznor]] designed the [[Nine Inch Nails logo]] that first appeared on [[NIN]]'s debut, "[[Down in In It (halo)|Down In It]]" (which consists of the letters "[[NIN]]" set inside a border with the second "N" reversed), inspired by [[Tibor Kalman]]'s typography on the [[Talking Heads]] album cover for [[Remain in Light]]. [[Talpas]] would continue to design [[NIN]] packaging art through the 1997 double VHS [[Closure]].
