I would have never noticed most of these details.&lt;p&gt;Enjoyed the carefully thought out icon design:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;typesetinthefuture.files.wordpress.com&amp;#x2F;2016&amp;#x2F;06&amp;#x2F;alien_semiotic_01_full.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;typesetinthefuture.files.wordpress.com&amp;#x2F;2016&amp;#x2F;06&amp;#x2F;alien...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cryogenic vault -- the blue triangle pointing down to a stick figure. Photonic system -- has the letter F shaped by what looks like fiber optic channels. Radiation hazard is great too -- a stick figure dead on the ground, with the sickly bright orange color filling the top of the square.&lt;p&gt;Then not all details could be consistent of course. And the whole self-destuct French vs English instruction bit was funny.&lt;p&gt;Then the completely off the wall stuff-- 70s psychadelics creeped into the keyboard design, that was fascinating. What else would you put on a self-destruct computer console than &amp;quot;SHAKTI EXCESS&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;PADME&amp;quot; and reference to a phychadelic trip?</text></comment>

Those films don&amp;#x27;t need to use constant music to tell the viewer what to think or feel or notice, which is an amazing effect on it&amp;#x27;s own.</text></comment>
