Glitching
It was useful to lean into the glitchy tech clichè as it provided a way to show transition from one state to another. To constantly hammer home the idea that the systems we've built are changeable and fixable. 'Code can be changed'.
Easter egg
The mark itself while providing an anchor and recognisable symbol is also somewhat of an easter egg. Referencing a 205 Error Code which is a 'content_reset request'.
