AltaVista Pentagram.
DooM 3 pentagrams.
The blue one is the orange one Paintshoped.
Badly.
I wish that I'd taken a screenshot of the ghosts corridor full of pentagrams / spawn points, it really was beautiful.
As to the meaning of the pentagram symbol?
Well in Doom3 and in Quake3Arena, the pentagram, the five-point-star, is a type of portal.
In Doom, the nasties warp in from hell on these red-orange devices, whilst you warp into and out of hell via blue ones.
In Q3A, spawn points spawn power-ups, the Quad etc. This indicates that the Quad is a demonic gift...Or some such...That the demonic power of the ID [see Forbidden Planet] can be used to great advantage by one fast and sure enough to seize the opportunity.
It is a lot of fun to treat all things as metaphoric-symbolically true and imbued with great and wondrous meanings.
But if you take another look....
ID actually stands for- ideas from the deep.
