[[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> ==Original==<gallery>Image:Nine Inch Nails logo.png|Original logo</gallery>Designed by Gary Talpas, based on [[Trent Reznor]]'s concept.  ===On Tour===<gallery>Image:ontourlogo.png|On Tour logo</gallery>A stencil variant used to mark touring cabinets and equipment. ==[[Pretty Hate Machine]]==<gallery>Image:Fracturedlogo1.png|Fractured ''Pretty Hate Machine'' era logoImage:Fracturedlogo2.png|Fractured ''Pretty Hate Machine'' era logo</gallery>There were a couple of variants of the original, sometimes used on promotional materials during this time, where the logo has a fractured look. ==[[Sin (halo)|Sin]]==<gallery>Image:SINlogo.jpg|''Sin'' logo</gallery>Designed by The Designers Republic, used on the ''Sin'' single. ==[[Broken]]==<gallery>Image:Brokenlogo.png|''Broken'' logo</gallery>Designed by Talpas, used on both ''Broken'' and ''[[Fixed]]''. ==[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]==<gallery>RMlogo1.jpgRMlogo2.jpgRMlogo3.jpgRMlogo4.jpgRMlogo5.jpgRMlogo6.jpgRMlogo7.jpgRMlogo8.jpgRMlogo9.jpgRMlogo10.jpg</gallery>Unused NIN logo art created by [[Russell Mills]] for ''The Downward Spiral'', 1994. ===[[Dissonance|Dissonance Tour]]===<gallery>DissonancePinwheel.png</gallery>Pinwheel logo from the Dissonance Tour. ==[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]==<gallery>Thefragilelogo.png|''The Fragile'' logo</gallery>Original logo partly hidden on ''The Fragile'' cover art. ==[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]==<gallery>Withteethlogo.png|''With Teeth'' logo</gallery>Designed by [[Rob Sheridan]], based on the Talpas original. ===[[Live: With Teeth]]===Many tour posters had variations on the Sheridan theme, glitch manipulation of the Talpas logo.
