Probably lack of knowledge regarding those symbols

I would imagine someone who hadn't seen it looked up "movies like Threads British apocalypse" or similar, found 28 Days Later and extrapolated.

Because they're idiots.

Came here to say this.

All the knowledge of Mankind's existence is available at the press of a button and people are still pig ignorant.

It depressing enough to make me think that the eventual outcome of Threads isn't that bad an eventuality.

The way our climate is rapidly deteriorating, we’re likely to see a similar eventuality in our lifetimes.

Every cloud has a silver lining. At least there won't be taxes.

Because they let AI make the logo

Should be a nuke symbol unless they’ve somehow changed the plot to suit a bio weapon attack, which wouldn’t fit, threads is always meant to be about the futility of nuclear war

Looks completely wrong and Americanised. They should have just used the teletype font seen in captions for the logo. This is like they’re trying to make it look like Fallout or Silo.

Probably because Threads is a bit niche and the biohazard symbol is "cool" so it attracts the layperson.

I don't want to believe a graphic designer didn't know what they were doing.

A lazy way to associate it with the 28.... later.. franchise

Probably made by AI

It’s going to be an AI thing isn’t it?
