When this first started popping up, it reminded me heavily of Adobe Acrobat's product packaging and launch screen from the 90s / 00s: http://splashscreens.sourceforge.net/acrobat.php

I had viscerally negative reactions to those as a child. Nothing ever foreshadowed "this is not going to be fun" quite like those shirts & ties. Nor was it clear why one would need to juggle the world to open a text document. (Maybe it was all just a premonition about the malware that is CC.)
