Where did the "Art" from the "Art Series" come from?

I have been a long time fan of the ever popular PPI "Art Series" amplifiers. My first system ever I got a hand-me-down A300.2 on two 12" Polk EX II's. The gain was not even half way up and it was blowing both of the subs. However over all the years I have never found out exactly what was the reasoning behind the funky worm, 3 moons and random triangles that make up the art on the amps. Does anybody know what was the real reason for this? Was it just random? Or was there actually a purpose.

DEI's venture into the power amplifier world didn't work out so well for them. What are they down to now, Orion only?
