Earlier today, Nic covered Steam Families Full Releasea feature that makes it easier for families to share a library of games and for parents to manage children's purchases and playtime in the digital store. It's a nice improvement over the previous system.
Sadly, I can't think of anything other than the Steam Families logo, which appears in the image above and is clearly a shocked, possibly horrified face. Or so I thought at first. The more I look at it, the more it seems to reveal.
I mean, you see it too, right?
I mentioned this at the RPS Treehouse and everyone on the team saw something different. Ollie didn't see a mustache but a trickle of tears running down his face. “I haven't seen much Evangelion, but I feel like this is a kid sitting in the cockpit of a robot that's also a horrible chimera of his parents,” Nic commented.
I looked again and… wait… it's a crab juggling.
You see it too, don't you? I mean, I'm not the only one. Or am I?

Every graphic designer knows that logos need to be carefully studied before they are published. First, does it accidentally contain a swastika? Second, can it easily be turned into genitals? Check it thoroughly. Notice all the negative space. Then check it again. I think the Steam Families logo has successfully avoided these problems.
However, it is clearly a rorschach testTake a closer look at this idyllic family. What do you see?
He was there all along. He's a sad Sonic.
