The Nine Inch Nails logo (which consists of the letters "NIN" with the second "N" reversed, which looks similar to "NIИ") was designed so that Trent Reznor could have a design that in his own words "looked cool on my leather jacket." According to Reznor, the logo was inspired by the typography of the album cover for Talking Heads' album Remain In Light. NIN's sound has variously been described as alternative, electronica, heavy metal, rock, synth pop, or, most commonly, industrial or industrial rock. Regarding his music being categorized as industrial, Reznor had this to say in a 1994 Axcess magazine interview:
"What was originally called industrial music was about 20 years ago Throbbing Gristle and Test Dept. We have very little to do with it other than there is noise in my music and there is noise in theirs. I'm working in the context of a pop song structure whereas those bands didn't. And because someone didn't come up with a new name that separates those two somewhat unrelated genres, it tends to irritate all the old school fans waving their flags of alternativeness and obscurity. So, I'd say I've borrowed from certain styles and bands like that."
NIN's songs cover a range of genres; as a body of work, they cannot be pigeonholed. "The Perfect Drug" has the flavor of drum and bass, vocals and drum machine beats in "Down in It" seem influenced by early rap & hip-hop, "Happiness in Slavery" is in the vein of Skinny Puppy and Ministry, "The Frail" is a melancholy minimalist piano piece, and most of Pretty Hate Machine could be considered dark synth pop. ...more
