As a huge fan of Fringe (on Fox), I've come to love the little glyphs they use at every commercial break. I was floored when I found that it was actually coded messages. Now I have the codes and made some film messages in Fringe Text. Just for the fun of it!

Well I tried translating your coded messages from the information I got from this site:

AIMOEAAT :cool

Later: I just found out that each glyph doesn't always have the same letter value. Urg!

Ah! Missed this part.

Each glyph and position of the yellow dot indicate a different letter.

I knew the GC'ers would get it! So much fun! I have the whole first season of Fringe on DVD and my son started watching it with me. He became so hooked, he got the second season. Then we caught up with the third season online. Now every Friday night we are catching it together. It's an awesome show, a fun code to play with and a good excuse to hang out together!
