 		Not sure that it means anything, but I just checked the source information on the Weyland site and opened up the wc_bg-spheres.jpg and noticed there is a reflection on all of the dark spheres. I have no access to photo software...if someone does lets check it out...please

 		I've checked the bg video to weylands site also, playing frame by frame in VLC and can't see anything suspicious. I've tried inverting the colours, contrast, brightness and still nothing really pops out.

 		I am talking just about the JPG...the quality is better. It's actually HD (1920X108) not the video.

 		Interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winged_sun


That symbol is featured in some Sumerian pictograms, and it's very similar to Weyland's logo. (I actually have no idea what I'm doing right now)

This one:

I can see a reflection but I think it might just be a template PS style colouring to add depth.

 		When I zoom in, it looks almost like a ceiling reflection turned 90 degrees or so, but like I said I have no real software to speak of.

 		If this is not big enough, I will increase the size and re-post. Do the white dots line up with the star pattern?

I'd say learn how to do it better (Like The Dark Knight Rises one at Christmas!)

 		Alright, disregarding the somewhat useless tip I posted above, I just checked my notes from last night on "things to research for later", and here's the full thing:
The other day I was looking for Weyland's birthday, which was in October 1st, 1990. I looked into his astrological sign and found out he's a Libra... So I looked into the constellation. This is what I found:

Quote:
Planetary system

Libra is home to the star Gliese 581, which has a planetary system consisting of at least 6 planets, including Gliese 581 g, the best candidate planet for human habitability and extra-solar life yet discovered,[1] Gliese 581 c, the first Earth-like extrasolar planet to be found within its parent star's habitable zone, Gliese 581 d, discovered in 2007 to be another Earth-like planet, and Gliese 581 e, the smallest mass exoplanet orbiting a normal star,[2] all of which are of significance for establishing the likelihood of life outside of the Solar System.[3] The family of candidate habitable planets was extended in late September 2010 to include Gliese 581 g, a tidally locked planet in the middle of the habitable zone, and currently the most likely discovered exoplanet to be capable of supporting life.[4]


Does that ring a bell? Oh yeah, one of the stars with colonies, and the two planets featured on the banner (Gliese 581 c and Gliese 581 e). Before jumping on that, though:

Quote:
Radio signal sent from Earth

A Message From Earth (AMFE) is a high-powered digital radio signal that was sent on 9 October 2008 toward Gliese 581 c. The signal is a digital time capsule containing 501 messages that were selected through a competition on the social networking site Bebo. The message was sent using the RT-70 radar telescope of Ukraine's National Space Agency. The signal will reach Gliese 581 in early 2029.


So there you have it, another message sent to a planetary system, just like the Cosmic Call message sent to Orion (HD 245409) in 2003, this time sent to the very first planet in the banner, and should arrived in 2029.

Also GJ 667CC happens to be the first planet where terraforming experiments were made successfully according to the timeline:

Quote:
MAY 28TH, 2039 - GJ 667CC
Using the Weyland Atmospheric Processor, the first functional and breathable atmosphere is produced on planet GJ 667CC, clearing the way for further terraforming activities on other planets.


So this makes me believe they chose those three snapshots in the banner for a reason. Two of them in the Libra constellation (Gliese 581 c and e, and the other in Scorpius (GJ 667 Cc). Perhaps we could explore this further?

David 8 Video
In the slightly better version of the video it looks like there is text between the triangle & barcode, that I didn't see before. Can someone get a better screen grab of that?

Yeah, I already mentioned the Libra/Gliese 581 thing. Might wanna start to work together on this.
