One of the most brilliant pieces of production design (in my opinion) is the choice to make paper octagonal via trimmed corners in the BSG universe. Such a wonderful way of communicating that the world is other, or ours but through some strange looking glass, or to borrow from Gibson, a mirror world, where things are just so barely surreal in their subtle differences. Those paper corners suggest some contingent, divergent history in the development of printing technology that implies some larger world of divergences. The impression of depth! Always loved that.
