They didn't take it from the band. Pretty sure the team photo was created as a response to everyone referencing the band.

Oh that's interesting, would you be able to name your project The Beatles and make an Abbey Road team photo, or maybe Radiohead is a better example as it's not a real word, if you had a similar acronym ahead of time? Or is it just that Slint doesnt have the legal team of the Beatles? Genuinely curious how it works.
