Has anyone noticed that the Dharma Initiative Logo, shown on Lostpedia, has triangular shaped pieces without the points of the triangle incorporated into the logo, and there are slots in the pieces which when matched to the corresponding piece in the logo would be able to fit together to make 4 standing bases? Don’t know what it means, but I think it must mean something.

If you go to Comic Con and look at the list of exibitors there is one listed for Dharma Initiative Booth 3529.

If Agent459 is correct about their decrypted message: If you take the decrypted message and get rid of some possible junk repeated letters (B,N,U)
Considering Comic Con is open 10-7 on Thursday July 24th..in San Diego…..

If this is a correct decryption than it could actually be in reference to the “W” Hotel which is in downtown San Diego and hosts numerous events and parties when special events are in town. Just a thought.

Taking the first letter of each occupation starting from the bottom and going up, gives:

DHARMA INITIATIVE EABEJNCHDBEBMPZPPM

Not sure this is quite right, but here is one attempt to decode the last part:

Vigenére Autokey : http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/vigenere-autokey.php
Decrypt
passphrase : dharma initiative
encrypted message : EABEJNCHDBEBMPZPPM
decrypted message : BTBNXNUUVIWBTHELOT

Could “WB THE LOT” be some kind of clue for a location at Comic-Con?

If you take the decrypted message and get rid of some possible junk repeated letters (B,N,U)
you get…T X VI W THE LOT…which could stand for Thursday 10-6 W THE LOT.
Considering Comic Con is open 10-7 on Thursday July 24th..in San Diego…..
