What does the graffiti mean?

[AYKO]

Normally, i don't like bumping old threads, but this will be an exception. I'd like to post some of graffitis from the Half-Life 2 and its expansions. I think this will be interesting topic to talk.

I exported from Half-Life 2 vpk files. Some of these graffitis are meaningless, some of'em are really artistic. But they certainly help to create dystopian world of Half-Life 2.

If you have any idea what they means, don't hesitate to write.

Obviously Citadel. But i don't know what "DAWN" means.
"This is where everything begins and ends" maybe?

"Axis" probably refers to fellow resistance forces.

Some people say 24724 is Gordon's graduation number from MIT and some people say it's zip code of a city named Freeman. I don't know which one is true.

Obvious reference to Andre the Giants' Obey poster made by Shepard Fairey.

Evolution.

Man with umbrella. This may be G-Man?

"cuore" means "heart" in Italian. But i don't know what this graffiti refers to.

- - -

9AST? GAST? I can't read what it says.

- - -

Classic Lambda logos that can be found near the supply crates.

Reference to "Oranges and Lemons".

- - -
Resistance = people divived by anarchy?

- - -

"born" poster, my another favourite..

- - -

People fighting to power.

Here are some of other meaningless (?) graffitis.

I'm no expert, but there seems to be some cyrillic writing there. Might be interesting if anyone can interpret it. There is some next to the bombs in oranges and lemons.

According to Google Translate, Дей means "day".
But i don't know about others.

The writing on the GAST. one is apparently 'PFI' written in cyrillics. I have no idea what could that possibly mean though.

Yep, it's the Zip Code. Damn, that's cool.

Oh yeah, and Caste could just be the name of the resistance street artist.
