      It is literally Epstein's island. That single dot off the coast confirms this.

        Dot isn't a dot, dot is in the wrong place, the shape of the blob is different.

        The Nickelodeon foot logo on the other hand, that's 100% Dan Schneider being a creeper.

        If you told me whoever came up with the nickelodeon blob logo had a fetish for slime though, I wouldn't question it.

          Bordiga-level pedantry. It's true that the dot is "in the wrong place" when comparing the pictures, but did you know that you can actually view the island from any side? As for the island shape, the four-pointed design is distinct, where of course there will be differences with the slime stylization.

          The logo is OBJECTIVELY roughly based on Epstein's island, either due to the designer's trips to the area (purely for snorkeling) or their Paul Atreides-esque dreams of the future of the company. It could also be that mother earth formed the island itself around the logo design in order to signal the issues within both entities, but humanity ignored this warning. And now here you are like a heretic yelling "he cannot be Lisan Al Gaib, as there are small differences between reality and how it was written," confusing prophecy and symbolism for perfect recreation.

            Ehhhh I'm not seeing it. Even if you ignore the little island and rotate them around it doesn't really match. It's a blob with four points but that's about where the similarities end. The curves are different, the size of the "points" are different.

            Here's the logo rotated and overlapped on an image of the island from google maps:

            I'm rotating and scaling it around but I can't make it work.

            edit: there's a level of irony going over my head isn't there

            but did you know that you can actually view the island from any side?

            Here comes the “I can rotate 3D shapes in my head” vs the “I can’t rotate 3D shapes in my head” debate.

      One time I threw a sticky hand at the wall and when it went sploot on the wall it was sploot shaped and it looked JUST LIKE EPSTEIN'S ISLAND

    My inner puzzle solver is screaming because they could have at least rotated the island picture so it kind of lined up with the Nick blob

        I always think of Dana Sneider when reading about him and Master Shake doesn't deserve that association

      Schneider has never actually been accused of sexually abusing children (although at least two crew members on his shows were), but his shows were full of borderline sexual innuendo involving child actors so it seems very likely, and approximately nobody will be surprised if allegations do eventually come to light

    I don't fuckin know--- the same guy made the logo a goddamn foot. And he constantly made all this abuse completely public as part of the thrill. Was he on the flight logs?

      I don't think Dan Schneider designed any Nickelodeon logos, he was a writer and showrunner not a graphic designer.

            I mean if he had enough influence to actually assault all the kids he could influence the temporary corner logo is all I'm saying

              No I don't. Those are very different spheres of people to influence. The clout needed to get away with sdx crimes is significantly lower than that required to make network exec level decisions related to promotion and advertising which was not his job. You can be powerful in a company but still not be involved in every decision. It's senseless conspiratorial thinking. This stuff wasn't his job.
