Thanks, Mark. I see Hoopla has books 1 & 2 of this series -- I'll have to check them out!
You are welcome! I was waiting for it to appear on Hoopla myself.
I didn't see it that way, either, but wish I had. That's some excellent lateral thinking!
When I recognized it as the generic power button, I stopped thinking about it. But I did look it up after these remarks, to see what there was to see. Turns out, I learned something. Maybe everyone else knew this, but the sybol is a combination of "0" and "1," representing on/off in binary. "1" is a closed circuit, meaning "on." "0" is on open circuit, meaning "off."
I've been hitting power buttons for a long time, and never knew what the symbol meant. Now I do.
Geez, I must admit that I missed the power button! I guess I was expecting something more abstract, so that's what I saw. It is a clever play on the title of the series, which I appreciate.
Is it just me or is that logo giving me "the finger"?
Ha! I didn't see it that way, so maybe it is just you!

John Byrne once admitted that he saw Superman's "S" logo as two fish swimming past each other.
I didn't see it that way, but when I was a kid I found it easier to draw the negative space in the S logo, rather than trying to draw the S.
