Crash Site Perspectives

One day, when I was getting screenshots from "Whatever Happened to Della Duck?!"(or checking a scene, I'm not sure which) , I noticed some pretty interesting things about the rocket's crash site:


When you look at it regularly, the crater and the trail running through it, 
makes it look like the Spear is passing by the Moon. 

Even more so when you adjust the angle.


If the crater in the center is supposed to represent the Moon, maybe the rest could represent other celestial bodies. The one at the top could be Earth while the last two could be Venus and Mercury.  I considered the Sun being one of these two craters, but perhaps it's being more literally represented by the amount of lighting present on this side. Venus and Mercury are much closer to the Sun. And if the Sun was being represented as a crater, it would be a LOT larger in comparison to the ones shown. 

When the crash site is rotated to a 90-degree angle...


It sorta resembles The Sunchaser when it got caught on a rocky peak in "Last Crash". 


This feels very intentional, considering this was the episode where we found out about the Spear being a rocket and how it ties into her disappearance. This episode was also about the cast getting side-tracked from their desired destination and a character, similar to Della, chasing after the missing piece to a family-oriented picture...  

Thinking about all of this reminds me of an old fan discussion about how the Gizmoduck logo looks like a simplified representation of The Spear and a crescent moon.


The DT87 version looks even more like these things.
I haven't seen any of the Gizmoduck episodes in the original series yet, so, I don't know if there's any moon or rocket-related reason as to why the logo is shaped like this. But for the most part, it's supposed to be a stylized "R". His name was going to be "Roboduck", as in Robocop, but due the showrunners couldn't use the name. (In America, anyway.) In the reboot, the logo was flipped and slightly modified to be a "G".

Even though the logo is pre-existing, the resemblance pretty hard to ignore...there's enough evidence to determine that the idea of Della being on the Moon mostly came from a combination of her piloting backstory in the Dutch comics canon and the showrunners wanting to use The Moon Theme from the show's NES game adaptation.

But, like...they did make Gyro the Spear's builder like the Gizmosuit. And it was compared with the Spear by being a project that was taken by someone before it was ready to be used...AND the newer logo does look like the curve of crater that Spear is leaning against...🤔

I would definitely say it's possible that the reboot showrunners noticed this too and could have integrated it into the catalyst for the show. There's a lot of other little, seemingly insignificant things they've done to help us understand what they were doing with it.

launchpad wears the gizmosuit in the s3 finale
yeah, it was a reference to a DT87 episode, but it gave him an electrical sequence
if the moon and rocket resemblance in the logo was utilized, it's connecting him to the incident
he was showing guilt in situations that resembled it
it connects him to the "x was y this whole time" trend
it also connects him to huey in "trickening", which continued them matching clothes with each other
