gago Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I've been watching Star Trek - The Next Generation, season 7 episode 17 ("Masks") on TV today and noticed something familiar.. [hide=This][/hide] Took me a few seconds to realise that i know the symbol on Data's chest from RuneScape. It's very similar to Zamorakian symbol: So, could it be possible, that Jagex has "borrowed" that symbol from Star Trek or is it just a coincidence? _________ Some info on the symbol: In Star Trek TNG, S07E17, the Enterprise crew get to know about a race called D'Arsay. They communicate with the crew through Data, who is "possessed" by the personalities of D'Arsay people whose archive he had scanned. While talking to Captain Picard in one of the personalities - Ihat - he suddenly changes to a scared child who has that symbol on his chest. "Happines only real when shared."

Grimy_Bunyip Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think it's just a coincidence. The zamorak symbol was simplistic to begin with, it's not hard to imagine that something like it has been used elsewhere. I always thought the zamorak symbol was an image of demon's horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quorra Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 RS Wiki says it looks like the lowercase letter for Omega, although it doesn't say if that is where the symbol came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecuttingyews Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh dear! A zamorakian symbol on his chest and a Zarosian symbol on his forehead! SPOILER ALERT!Next quest Zeros and Zamorak both possess the same person and take over the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 That symbol is fundamentally different to zammy one. First and foremost it has a circle in the centre, zammy does not.Second the ends of the shape are flat and turned in upon itself, Zammy has pointed ends and the point at each other.Third tht shape has a vague dip in the top, and rounded corners. Zammy has squared off edges and points.

Zammy has squared off edges and points. Similar and exact are different. I didn't dispute that.I just said there are a lot of fundamental differences hence it is unlikely it was based upon that. I mean you get a lot of symbols in real life that are stars (for example) but they aren't related or based on each other.

Kalafai Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Zamarok seems to be demon horns, the one on data's chest there seems to be a double ended snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 It also looks like the letter 'm' or a slanted '3' but nobody seems to mind that. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
