Okay i've looked for a minute. I see what appears to be an eye and and ear between the white highlights of the flame. Is that what you saw? Anyway, it is a confusing image.

Yes, I can see a face in the top left corner, but it's not a very appealing image. Without the title it wouldn't work very well. Nice idea though

Don't know this UL or Sup... but, I have a very creative mind, and can't see the devil your talking about. If you have to look closely.. the mind will always find something to create. Doesn't do it.
