Since variations of the NTAE album cover are being uploaded and kept track of, this might be of interest on the NTAE page.
There a couple other variations of the black cover. Minor, yes; but if the two white versions with only a minor difference- one from nin.com and the other other from itunes are listed, although the difference is minor, then maybe the alternate black ones should be shown, too?

This example uses the following three images:
1. facebook profile
2. tumblr profile (background and title layer remain the same; adds a layer with more "noise")
3. instagram profile (shifts the image with a different crop)
