How would the aliens see Barnard's Loop if they lived inside it? No, if the logo is Barnard's Loop it makes far more sense that the region is somewhere, maybe on the opposite side of Barnard's Loop, where it would be prevalent in the sky of their homeworld. That seems more logical, it's prominent in their sky and they identify with it.

That would still put them very close to us, relatively speaking
Someone earlier proposed it was the symbol of a genaration ship, and while i love the thinking, it just doesn't seem like the answer.
Can anyone get a screenshot of barnards loop from Sol? Or from any other angle where it matches the symbol, i've yet to see one

The same way we see our galaxy even though we live inside it?
Plus if it is aliens and they got to Merope to put the barnacles, then maybe that way..? Anyhow I still don't think the barnacles are alien related.

As someone else pointed out previously, plenty of sci-fi "future earth" logos are a graphic of earth, and we even do this today to a degree with map drawings of countries in news stories in the like.
Your interpretation can be valid, but it's also equally valid that it could just signify they have enough awareness of their place in galaxy to identify that region as "home".
The flag of the United Nations was adopted on December 7, 1946, and consists of the official emblem of the United Nations in white on a blue background.

Are you trying to draw a link between Aphex Twin and the logo on the Barnacles (the logo that morphs into the barnacle logo is Aphex Twin's), or are you just taking part in some casual stalking?
You may not be able to see gravitational waves but you can feel the biscuitial wave all over the barnaclesGravitational waves from black holes detected - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35524440
Michael Brookes and DBOBE: I demand you model them in the game or I'm ragequitting

Said it before, Caine Massey have taken him to find out what he has found out...

Never seen the aphex twins logo before, their posts are rather strange though and it really does seem like their kickstarter account was the source of the symbol on barnacles

Unless they got that symbol FROM the game, i can't exactly tell when they set their kickstarter avatar
I've said it before (on the old thread) and I'll say it again, I really do believe that these barnacles are human created organisms, specifically from the Caine Massey corporation. This theory is based on the Logo.
If the logo is analysed from a human perspective, as if it was a company logo, it contains the initials of the company name "Caine Massey". The "C" which is the central part of the logo, and the "M" which is rotated 90* to the right and overlayed on the "C". However I believe that the logo depicted on the barnacle is not how it was supposed to look, mainly because the barnacle is organically grown which could cause some distortion.
If anybody else can see what I am talking about please let me know.

Hey guys, just a quick heads up:
The Canonn TeamSpeak is being replaced by our Canonn Discord server. For those of you unfamiliar with Discord, it's pretty big within the Elite community. In fact, you can find the official Elite: Dangerous Discord server by following this link
https://discordapp.com/invite/0V5hfT4eO8gB0nIz
There are typically 300 to 500 players active there at any time so it's only natural that we follow suit. The Fuel Rats have also done the same. You can use discord in your browser or with the App on your PC or phone. Anyway, the Canonn TeamSpeak will be shut down for good on March 1st. I invite anyone looking to keep in touch and jump on the Discord bandwagon to follow this link to the shinny new Canonn Discord server

* Tinfoil needed *
My current theory: the barnacles are being formed by the thargoids in response to the AI threat!
So we have the lost. People who have left sol for the purpose of colonization. These people developed and eventually became/succumb to thier artificial intelligence creations. The AI are spreading their influence throughout space and the human bubble is next. This is season 3. Confronting the AI threat from the lost. Season 4 is the thargoids. The thargoids are aware of the real and present danger that the AI faction poses. They will offer an alliance with human kind for the purpose of defeating the AI threat. Season 4 ends with the human / thargoid alliance defeating the AI threat.
**superhypermega tinfoil ahead**
Season 5: This is when it all falls apart. The alliance between the thargoids and humans dissolves without the mutual AI enemy to bring them together. War consumes the galaxy. With resources on both sides are exhausted trying to wipe each other out, the weakened but still alive AI reemerge in a last offensive to eliminate all biological life in the galaxy.
That's my theory. Correct or not, I'm looking forward to the coming seasons of ED.

Wow, book needs to be written.
At the beginning of this thread i posted a picture from 'vela dark region rt-r c4-0' that somewhat matches the logo. Also its proximity to the locked regor sector is interesting.

Seriously - they set their logo shortly after the logo on the Barnacles was discovered. It happened last thread.
Funny, I was considering a connection with the barnacle symbol and the UN logo just yesterday too.
On the assumption that the barnacles are a product of a branch-off culture of humanity from a long-ago generation ship, I considered that the symbol is a corrupted/evolved mission-patch/ship-logo that has now taken on a new meaning to the descendants of the original pioneers.
One possibility I considered was that it was a variant of the UN logo:
This line of thought also made me wonder if the UA/barnacle owners and the forthcoming engineers aren't one and the same; their tech has advanced to the extent they engineer life, and that 'DBX' that scanned the Obsidian Orbital was one of them investigating what the heck had happened to their mineral extractors.
Another idea I had struck on was that the symbol was an image of the Debris Disk of a home-world solar system, the central blob being the sun, and the broken arc being the debris field, with the gaps in the ring formed by planetary gravity capture and solar emissions.
I poked around in a few image archives for something that looked like the symbol, but couldn't find anything definitive. I don't think debris/accretion disks are simulated in the game either. (Note to the developers: it would be awesome if we could happen across really young solar systems that only contain a giant debris ring around the central star, 1000s of Ls across. Unless this is an unrealistic depiction of what it would really be like?)

I think this is one of the best matches we have for the logo. There are other images that match quite well also.
Still, I don't intend to hunt for Barnacles based on any of them. The reason for this is that I think it's not narrow enough to do a legitimate search. Even down to a single planet, it's a huge task to find a barnacle (or permanent wreck).
The bread crumbs will come. We are just not there yet.
First we take Varati, then we take Palin.
