Via Stuart Immonen. Signage from Nostromo in Alien. I should get some of those put up around my house.

I love the sign for "Artificial Gravity Absent".

If you're really sleepy, or in a dim hallway, the "Radiation Hazard" symbol and the "Coffee" symbol look alarmingly similar.

I think it's funny that there's a sign especially for coffee!

[sixteenbynine.livejournal.com]

My favorite.

It's not terribly clear, though. I'm not sure what it's trying to say.

I love these signs. I used to doodle the 'vac suit' and airlock ones in my notebook at school. I'm glad someone compiled them. :)

As information design though, they kind of fail. "Galley" and "Coffee" are too vague, as is radiation hazard (which seems like a pretty important one not to mess up). Many of them are a little too abstract. Oh well! Still cool!

[thebitterguy]

I dunno. Coffee seems pretty specific.

Radiation should have used the classical image, yeah.

At this point Bishop might cautiously point out the Sulaco was the ship from the second film, the Nostromo was in the first one. Just sayin'.

The ess was accidental.

A friend of mine wants to decorate her son's room in a 'solar system' motiff(posters/stickers/wallpaper). Do you have any suggestions for that?

I just read Nextwave. If you talk to Stuart Immonen, tell him he is some sort of god. The best kind. The kind with beer.

[thebitterguy]

Well, he is gonna be at TCAF this weekend, so you cold take your cold one to him there.

Nextwave was, indeed, a big bag of awesome.
