Check out some of the production artwork for Serenity by graphic designer Geoffrey Mandel.

Well, at the request of Alliance commanders, I can't show this no more. Sorry, guys.

Fruity ooty bar.. I wonder if it's made from mice! And why does the writing look like it's Japanese?

A news broadcast with a character named Nadia Surapanpong? And are they showing several other languages in the ticker? I guess they still exist.. heh.

I wonder if that big red planet is suppose to be Londinium.. or Sihnon.. or some other core planet.

So there are 4 founding/core worlds of the Alliance?

Serenity looks mostly the same except for the bow, which looks a bit "sleeker", for lack of a better word.

Hmm.. I'm a bit confused by the last 2 pictures on the bottom. The one on the left (minimap) looks like it has multiple stars but the one on the right of the monetary bill looks like it has only one large system.

Because it is. I guess no one explained the difference.

Yeah, so from this is looks like the Verse is a multiple-star-system setting, probably with slow FTL travel. (The single-system on the currency could be the first system they colonized, and the rest were expanded from there. At first I thought it might be the Earth system, but there didn't seem to be enough rings. ;))

I think the bat is 'fruity oaty bar', so it's probably some kind of oatmeal bar...

As to Japanese... well, their culture probably didn't get completely wiped out, maybe they have sections where it's still in use.

Heh.. I just noticed... is that Mr. Sparkle, the Japanese product mascot that resembled Homer from that episode of the Simpsons? (What was it for, 'Super Lucky Clean Wash'?)

The Serenity model is the same old one, but I think that the new art-people dont know it's supposed to be chinese and not japanese

If that's the case. . .we have a potential 'suck' factor.

Just to sync up with the other speculations on the art.
