I just realized the Combine logo is the dyson sphere
DEEPEST
Nah it's a wrench.
And the lambda is a crowbar
No it's a guy leaning on the left with his arms up, the round being his head.
>>388222536
Damn... Really makes me think...
>>388222536
That's just for Earth, who knows what those slugs made the logo look like for sentient fungi that are too complex to describe with our limited vocabulary.
In reality though it's a simple enough logo that can look like anything, props to whomever designed the logo and other Combine related things for not going full retard and making yet another evil empire with faux-national socialist imagery.
Why would a dyson sphere be a giant pentagon with one of the sides missing?
>>388224106
because that's where gordon drove the boat into
It's the end of the steam logo.
>>388222536
its a meteor
>>388222536
no. it's a person surrendering
>>388222536
>can't unsee
>>388222536
I thought it was a planet in a vise.
>>388224654
Holy shit cannot unsee it. And its amazing!
>>388224654
I guess you mean with their arms up, but now you mentioned it, I see a guy kneeling into the floor as a sign of submission, as being seen from above.
>>388222536
>>388222536
It stands for "we have your balls, mud-dwelling monkey faggots".
>>388227651
Balls in a vise rather than planet in a vise then.
>>388227967
Can be both, really. It's a versatile logo. Really well designed, like most of visuals in the game.
>>388222536
no it's a guy prone to the ground, desperately trying to reach that HL3 from the distance
Do you think the Combine have graphic designers?
>>388228301
Yes, they were assimilated when the Combine arrived at the Graphic Design universe.

They could had 'hired' some human to do human-friendly iconography.
>>388228390
keked loudly
I bet that place was a shithole.
At least they have cheap labor for McDonalds.

>>388222536
It's a white benis
>>388228390
That explains why the logo is so minimalistic
I feel like a large portion of /v/ just learned about the concept of the Dyson Sphere.
>>388222536
It's suppose to symbolize the artificial (pointy shit) encompassing the biological (sphere) which is the whole theme of the combine. A dyson sphere fits pretty well with that theme.
>>388228301
>Combine took over The Designers Republic
>>388229234
Well, you know marios and personas usually don't use those, so that's something new.
>>388229390
So the Combine are making Autechre's album art now?
>>388229482
No the Combine wants to compete in AG racing
