To look scary and symbolic.

Spoiler below!
Actually the upside down face might have something to do with the fountain of youth you see in the middle of the game

RE: The meaning of the loadscreen...

Most of the symbols are symbols of planets, as you can see here:

If you consider the sun in the center, you might assume that it is a (somewhat unnerving) representation of our solar system. The only symbol I couldn't figure out, is the one under the fork-like one (Neptune).

I think each one of those means a parallel universe, the one under Neptune maybe that old dudes home place, where he wants to get back too

I think he was banished from that realm cause he's so evil

I think you're right, I was going to write that, too, but I wasn't sure if it counts as a spoiler and - shame on me - I don't know how to make spoiler tags. BlushBig Grin

haha best way to do it is what ever you want to put as a 'spoiler' simply highlight it and put it in bold so you get
[b] my spoiler thing goes here [/b]
then all you do is delete the b and type in spoiler so it looks like this
[spoiler] my spoiler thing goes here [/spoiler]
and you end up with this

RE: The meaning of the loadscreen...

There seems to be more than one version of the planetary/alchemical symbols. The version I found explains the the one Childerich didn't regonise as representing Pluto.

RE: The meaning of the loadscreen...

indeed that is correct, so its a map of the solar system

the upside down baby face is creepy, my guess is the baby turned upside down makes the 'third eye'
I cant remember what its supposed to mean, but I might be wrong

Good research work, that symbol was in none of the charts I found so far. Never let it be said that you can't learn something from computer games! Cool
