It's just SV's take on the Superman \S/ shield. The infinity symbol ("8") correlates to the letter "S" in the DC comics created Kryptonian alphabet, so the SV folks just ran with it, and in a big way. I love it! It's different, but still very appropriate. I'm looking forward to see how they will eventually morph it into the more familiar \S/ logo.

Oh, and btw, Dr. Doom, listen to the commentary track on Memoria. They may not have been totally successful, but the memory tank WAS indeed constructed to resemble the Superman diamond shield, albeit elongated for the actors to lay inside of it. There was an awful lot of water in that tank, so they couldn't make it to scale - it would have been too massive, not to mention dangerous. A rectangle tank big enough to hold a person, say 6 feet long by 2 feet wide by 2 feet tall, holds 180 gallons of water. Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. Do the math. That's 1500 pounds! Factor in the glass, which would weigh about 310 pounds, and the person inside of it, and you have a TON of weight. I'm not surprised they had to skimp in areas, just to be safe. As it is, the tank they used probably had way over a ton of water in it alone. Look at the size of it compared to Welling. He's a big guy; it looks like you could put TWO of him in there - comfortably! LOL

Resurrecting an old thread because I wasn't sure where else to post this.

Not a \S/ or an \8/, but when I see a big S.M. next to this guy, I think SuperMan.

You know something gross though? I've seen people walk around with self-done scars that looked like that... not the \8/, mind you but big yucky scars all the same. Blech... how could you do that to yourself?

Technically, not a crop circle, but nice anyway
