Semiotic Standard: the icons from Alien

Following on from our Solar System transit map, we settled on this as our next vector art project: recreating the "Semiotic Standard" icons used to decorate the Nostromo spaceship sets in the 1979 film Alien.

We also thought it'd be fun to make them usable as fediverse emoji, so we did that.

Find the full set in emojo form here: https://lexie.space/post/blogstuff/2019/12/16/semiotic-standard.html

See the attached image, or https://noisy.lexie.space/@alexis/103322172832060183, for examples.

We'll be publishing large SVG files of these, too - as soon as we get the source file sorted out so we can export them easily. (we still suck at illustrator lol) In the meantime, we hope you enjoy these, and watch this space for more!

The Solar System: A Transit Map

Ever wanted to take a bus from Earth to another planet entirely? Us too! If we could, this is the map we’d use to get from here to there. Now you can use it to do that, too!

We want to make this into a depiction of a solarpunk future, designed by consensus, that we'd all love to see! If you have ideas or thoughts on that, please add them to this thread: https://tilde.zone/@alexis/103294731882121379

no seriously i don't want to hear how you took your bad car software and ported it to run on a new platform i want to hear about more actuators. y'all were the youtube i use to get to sleep for like five minutes there

more! actuators!

they have the robots doing VR training

the guy giving the lecture in biomechanics seems like the only person so far who wants to be here

it's weird to me how amateurish the audio mixing has been so far on this. like, these are the kinds of mistakes i made as a 14 year old behind the church mixing desk that nobody had taught me to run

"humans are inefficient" okay but then why doesn't neuralink say anything about implementing proper S3 sleep support

oh they build it like they do the car? that explains so much!

seriously. donald pleasence blofeld, all he needs is the cat and the chair

i've met guys like this at parties. usually in a corner. do not make eye contact, if you do he'll try to draw you in

you could hear a pin drop in this auditorium

"it's very important i not be able to do whatever i want," he says, panting

has no one ever told this man to rehearse his creepy libertarian utopia engineering fantasies, they wouldn't go over any better but they'd at least be engagingly presented

no wonder he's so scared on stage. he knows it's going to go like this

it's all really just cybertruck isn't it. that one wasn't special it's just always like this

okay what am i watching this chorus line has NOTHING

she just had to kick him on stage omg

engelbart did it waaaaaaaay better

"hey this is the best youtube video you gotta watch it you gotta you gotta"
