Symbols and Icons

Those following the discussion of The White Island at Unforums will have noted a new theory emerging regarding the various symbols being distributed to DJs and around the internet (apparently by Bes, according to another post). Investigator "therev" has proposed the symbol on the piece of jewelry given to DJ Sarah Main resembles the Reverb icon on the Pioneer SVM-1000, a DVJ mixer. Further, he has suggested resemblances between other icons and symbols.




There is a potential issue with this theory: only ten symbols have been presented so far, and discussion throughout The White Island has centred on 12 symbols. And although there are 12 icons on the SVM screen (above), the SVM in fact has two screens (below), for a total of 24 icons.



As this is a new theory, a thorough comparison has yet to be performed.
