What´s that SIGN ???

Before entering the NPGMusicClub, but directly after the intro (when song Glasscutter is playing) I´ve noticed a weird sign. It´s on the purple background in the very left on top and down. Available also 4 Non-NPG-Members. BUT it´s only visible when U enlarge the web browser screen on 1280x1024 resolution!!!. Anybody knows its meaning? It´s the web designer´s logo? Or P playing games with us? biggrin

just c it: -> http://www.npgmusicclub.com/home.html

I can't see any sign. If you 'select all' there are 4 white rectangles, but these just seem to be spaces for positioning the central flash file - website building stuff. Is that what you mean?

no, it´s not what I mean. the sign is black. It´s only visible when U C the whole purple background graphic. When I maximize the screen of my browser I c it on the very left top and very left down (its there upsidedown). The sign is like a chinese letter or sth.

It took me awhile, but I just saw it too. It's hard to see because it's black and can't be highlighted. I'm not sure what it is, but it's very interesting looking. Maybe just some sort of parameter marker for the background.

I don't know how the heck you managed to spot that!

Anyway, I took a screenshot, zoomed in and put it through some brightness and contrast filters and here is the top left one:



As you can see it's... well, nothing really, just a few smudgey lines that almost make a shape but not quite. It is mirrored along it's central axis and the whole purple background is mirrored horizontally, so this 'symbol' appears upside-down at the bottom - mirroring is often used by webdesigners on graphics to save loading time. The 'butterfly effect' makes it look more interesting than it really is - if you just took half the symbol it doesn't look like anything.

I don't know, this is almost as disappointing as when that face on Mars turned out to be - a random bunch of shadows on some rocks.

I´ve got this sign now, too. Made my maximum resolution 1600x1200 on my 21"Monitor - but this isn´t the whole sign. It´s still cut on top and side. I´m not sure, if there´s a surprise more in this sign, when it´s complete. Is anyone able 2 get the whole sign?

The 'sign' starts to mirror at the top - therefore complete it would look like this:



Still doesn't look like anything. Maybe it's a treasure map to Prince's Vault! Or Prince's design for a helicopter.

WOW! Thanks metalorange 4 the whole sign. Never thought our sign analysis biggrin get so far. The more I suppose this sign has a meaning. I guess Prince knows about this sign and want 2 xpress sth. treasure map or P´s helicopter design biggrin biggrin haha - it really looks like a map, maybe symbolic meaning.

You're right! I blew the thing up with some highly sensitive pixel decompression software, and this is what it ends up looking like:
