Something I noticed a while ago.

This brief insert shot appears shortly before Dallas is taken. Could this be outtake footage from Brett's earlier search for Jones?

The Weyland-Yutani logo, which I believe was designed by Cameron, is a giant W for Weyland, right? But I never realized the little white shapes are the Y (for Yutani) peeking through from behind:



It looks like others, in reproducing the design, have failed to recognize the Y shape as well (see this version, how the Y pieces are different? ):

Pretty sure Ron Cobb designed it.

The second design just increases the margin between the Y and W, but still communicates the idea.

It's a pet peeve of mine how so many reproductions of the logo reduce the Y behind to simple triangles.

Blame Alien 3.  The WY logo in that used the simple triangles on everything from the EEV's flight recorder to the Fury 161 jackets.

Ron Cobb designed it

The Cruentus

The bottom is not symmetrical either, the lower part of the Y is closer to one side than the other.

They noticed the Y - they just didn't do a great job of recreating it.

HOW TO GET THE NIT-PICKY DETAILS RIGHT IN THE ALIENS-STYLE W-Y LOGO:




Kradan


SM

Hudson's boots.

Local Trouble

That shot raises a couple of questions in my mind: a) how deep do the colony's sub-levels actually go and b) why weren't there any alien corpses at the bottom of that chasm?

SiL

We see Alien bits stuck to the hive walls, so presumably corpses are taken away and reused.

SM

If only someone did videos about that sort of thing...

As for how many levels - there's one below SB.  The one with the water.

Local Trouble

You have an alien corpse video?
