myk Posted June 30, 2011 Yeah, I don't think it's rock representing Gothic or lunar elements in the game. Look at the CEMENTx textures in TEXTURE2, they have somewhat similar plates over circuits. It the artwork by Punchatz, there are cracks in the material so it transfers into the game well as what those textures end up representing by name, some form of cement panels for walls with heavy tech circuits behind them. Jodwin said: The funny thing is why is the circuitry above the plating and not underneath it (the circuits cast a shadow on the plates so they're on top)?I see a slight shadow from the material we're discussing over the circuits, not the other way around. It may be clearest to the right. Vorpal said: I think there are many people who took their poetry/literature classes way too seriously. An author/artist isn't always trying to have a deeper meaning, it just "looked/sounded cool" so to speak. You mean they took a game too seriously, because if it were art bigtime there would indeed probably be various levels of meaning attached to the work. Still, these threads are cool even if they often start awkwardly. I would have said "you're right" to what Jodwin said but the thread made me make a slight adjustment to my previous and assumed impression after investigating the game content a bit. 0 Share this post Link to post
The_MártonJános Posted June 30, 2011 Pyramids, oh my god! Doom must really have some developers in Egypt, indeed. I've already wondered what the hell is inside, but never had the chance to also look into it thoroughly... so, let's see... A sinister golden skull face... are we going to die?! 0 Share this post Link to post

Notice those parallel lines behind the damaged "plates"? That's tile grout. The raised beading might be metal and to my eye gives the logo something of a "stained glass window" style. 0 Share this post Link to post
Antroid Posted July 1, 2011 I, too, have always thought they were stones. But now i look closer and realise they do look more like metal panels. In any case, i like doom3's logo better :) 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted July 1, 2011 Definitely decorative masonry on top of metal and circuitry. As for the Doom logo pyramid conspiracy, I think that was just accidental.

Maes Posted July 1, 2011 Here's the true mastermind behind Doom's monster invasion: The infamous "stubby bullfrog micro demon", cleverly hidden in the titlepic in plain sight. Worse still, it really DOES give an eerie meaning to the infamous catchphrase "No John, you ARE the demons". 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted July 1, 2011 Well, Peter Chimaera was a prophetic visionary genius. His works transcend the realm of merely engaging philosophical literature into something astonishingly sublime that no interpretation can begin to do justice. 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted July 2, 2011 Sorry - I was looking at the wrong one. The shotgun's closer to horizontal when dropped, so that's either a marine or trooper being gibbed. EDIT - Here we go, I've superimposed PLAYO0, POSSM0 and SPOSM0 on the titlepic. It's the trooper! (620x200 - 14k) 0 Share this post Link to post
