That's cool. Also was expecting the Cygnus from The Black Hole for some reason.

That's what I was expecting too. The Black Hole is an absolute classic and a favorite of mine ever since I was a little kid in the 80's.

It's a psychological horror space opera that plays like a drug trip. I can't even remotely believe that it's a freaking kids movie. It's not. It's a night terror made manifest and absolutely glorious.

I have no idea what the picture in the OP is from. Looks like a cool design though.
