 When thinking of a band name , someone suggested " corn " , but the band rejected that name , so Shaffer had the idea to spell the name with both a " K " instead of a " C " , and a backwards " R " , so the band 's name would appear as " KoЯn " . The logo was designed by vocalist Jonathan Davis . Silveria explained , " the music makes the name , because Korn 's a dumb name . But once we get established , it makes the name cool . "
