Earlier today, Nic covered the full release of Steam Families, a feature that makes it easier for families to share a game library and for parents to manage their kids' purchases and play time in the digital store. It's a welcome improvement over the old system.
Unfortunately, I can't think of anything other than the Steam Families logo pictured above, which is a clearly shocked, possibly horrified face. Or so I thought at first. The more I look at it, the more it seems to reveal.
So you see it too, right?
I pointed this out on the RPS Treehouse and everyone on the team saw something different. Ollie saw not a moustache but a tear streaming down his face. “I haven’t watched much of Evangelion but I think this is a kid sitting in the cockpit of a robot whose parents are both terrifying chimeras,” Nic said.
I went back and looked again. And – wait. That's a crab juggling act.
You see it too, right? I mean, I'm not the only one. Right?
I asked Edwin and he told me he saw Sam Fisher, hanging upside down, with three glowing green lights waiting to strike.
Every graphic designer knows that logos need to be carefully vetted before they’re released to the public. First, does it accidentally include a swastika? Second, could it easily be turned into a penis? Check carefully. Look at all the negative space. Then check again. I think the Steam Families logo successfully avoids these pitfalls.
But this is clearly a Rorschach test. Take a closer look at the idiosyncratic family. What do you see?
He was always there. A sad Sonic.
