In 1991, before the release of ''[[Human]]'', he cleaned up the logo taking out more intricate details and the "T" in the logo was swapped from an inverted Cross to a more regular looking "T", one reason being to quash any implication of religion. The logo was changed again, between ''Symbolic'' and ''The Sound of Perseverance'', with a more streamlined look and the removal of the hooded reaper above the "H", among other changes (shown right) ==Band members=={{col-begin}}{{col-3}};Final lineup* [[Chuck Schuldiner]] - Guitars, Vocals (1984-2001)* [[Scott Clendenin]] - Bass (1996-2001)* [[Richard Christy]] - Drums (1996-2001)* [[Shannon Hamm]] - Guitars (1996-2001) {{col-3}};Previous members* [[Kam Lee]] - Drums, Additional vocals (1984-1985)* [[Rick Rozz]] - Guitars (1984-1985, 1987-1989)* Erik Meade - Bass (1985)* Scott Carlson - Bass, Vocals (1985)* Eric Brecht - Drums (1985)* Matt Olivo - Guitars (1985)* [[Steve DiGiorgio]] - Bass (1986, 1991, 1992-1994, 1997-1998)* [[Chris Reifert]] - Drums (1986-1987)* [[Terry Butler]] - Bass (1987-1990)* [[Bill Andrews]] - Drums (1987-1990)* John Hand - Rhythm guitar (1987)* Mark Carter - Guitars (1989)* [[James Murphy]] - Guitars (1989-1990)* [[Sean Reinert]] - Drums (1990-1992)* [[Paul Masvidal]] - Guitars (1990-1992)* Scott Carino - Bass (1991-1992)* [[Gene Hoglan]] - Drums (1993-1995)* [[Andy LaRocque]] - Guitars (1993)* [[Kelly Conlon]] - Bass (1994-1995)* Bobby Koelble - Guitars (1995) {{col-3}};Touring musicians* Paul Masvidal - Guitars (1989)* Albert Gonzales - Guitars (1990)* Walter Trachsler - Guitars (1990)* Louie Carrisalez - Vocals (1990)* Craig Locicero - Guitars (1993)* [[Ralph Santolla]] - Guitars (1993)* Brian Benson - Bass (1995){{col-end}} ==Discography=====Studio albums===*''[[Scream Bloody Gore]]'' (1987)*''[[Leprosy]]'' (1988)*''[[Spiritual Healing]]'' (1990)*''[[Human]]'' (1991)*''[[Individual Thought Patterns]]'' (1993)*''[[Symbolic]]'' (1995)*''[[The Sound of Perseverance]]'' (1998) ===Demos===* ''[[Death by Metal]]'' (demo as Mantas, 1983)* ''Live in Tampa'' (demo, 1984)* ''Reign of Terror'' (demo, 1984)* ''Live at Ruby's Pub'' (live-demo, 1984)* ''Infernal Death'' (demo, 1985)* ''Rigor Mortis'' (demo, 1985)* ''Back from the Dead'' (demo, 1985)* ''Infernal Live'' (live-demo, 1985)* ''Mutilation'' (demo, 1986) ===Live albums===*''[[Live in L.A.
