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>
In response to a [[Access#2004_07_21|question posted]] in the Access section of [[nin.com]], Reznor stated that during creation of the logo, he was inspired by the type on the Talking Heads album ''Remain In Light''.
