The image of a U-2 was used on the cover of the band [[Negativland]]'s controversial 1991 EP titled ''[[U2 (EP)|U2]]''.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Berry |first=Colin |date=1995-01-01 |title=The Letter U and the Numeral 2 |url=https://www.wired.com/1995/01/negativland/ |access-date=2022-08-11 |magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] |archive-date=11 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811170907/https://www.wired.com/1995/01/negativland/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
