for the conclusion of the 'skulls' theme i was following:

a wallpaper.

1600x1200

sorry, i did not want to use the actual excessive plus logo in italics on these because i felt it wouldn't have looked right.

maybe if i can find some good screenshots i can make some actually relevant images, not just abstract stuff. Winking

seems attachments are full Sad

there's no pentagram, it's only a geometric design. i don't promote that sort of activity. but yes, i understand what you are saying regarding dark looking artwork. after all, this game revolves around shooting people. i'll make a pink one for you? Big grin .. only joking.

... but i understand what you are saying.

The pentacle appears on almost every stock Q3 map. Not to mention just about every Doom map ever created.

Also the pentacle is not a Satanic symbol. Akkadians borrowed it from the Sumerians who used it as a symbol for their goddess Inanna, and when the Akkadians assimilated her into their pantheon they called her Ishtar. From there she was worshiped by the Assyrians and Babylonians, who passed her onto the Egyptians and called her Ashtaroth, but connected her with Isis who they'd worshiped for about 2000 years before this in connection with the five-pointed star as well.

Since Isis and Ishtar had much in common they found the symbol was a nice thing to attach to her. EDIT - Isis was the mother goddess who gave birth to the avenging child-god, Horus or Hoor, who is also considered an aspect of his father - Osiris. Osiris died and was resurrected with the help of Isis and his avenging son. Interesting story that was written about 4000 years before the birth of modern Christianity as we know it. Does the story sound familiar?

This assimilation of the five-pointed star of course continued for several thousands of years until even the Hebrews took the symbol into their own hands and used it to outline five major names for their god Yahweh, whose name is abbreviated YHVH, by surrounding the five-pointed star with a cipher which means "Fourfold Name Of Our Lord of Hosts Elohim Sabaoth" - or Tetragrammaton for short.

Please do not try to discuss this any further.
