T-Shirt graphic for IRIX 5.2

[wholeo]

---

I'm fascinated by the graphic on this team T-shirt, 1994, for the operating system (Irix 5.2). I was a tech writer when Jim Clark was leaving. Who designed these graphics? I see a cube outline containing two tetrahedrons. This configuration matched artwork visions I was working on that seemed to be about structures of consciousness. It's intriguing to see them with respect to software development.
Are there any other SGI visualizations that relate to this?
Of course from the start I loved the company logo outlining a path describing a cube.
Any ideas or links would be appreciated.
By the way, I'm age 90. I think most of the developers were younger than I was at the time, so I'm sure some of them are around. Many might be following threads that came together at SGI in the '90s but haven't yet completely finished.

The design generally represents a network hyper-cube. You'll see them use this same design for Origin2000/3000 systems like this tshirt: https://www.ebay.com/itm/177077765891

Thanks for the link to a greatly modified cube graphic and the label "network hyper-cube". Maybe I should look for all the shirt designs in-between to see how they relate to my ideas. Did you work there?

Oh no, I didn't work at SGI. I was just a kid at the time. I wish though. I could have done mechanical / plastic / heating/cooling/airflow / CAD stuff. I'm not sure if they outsourced that kind of work or had in-house mechanical engineering. I know the industrial design/surf development was done by an outside firm.

I see that the T-Shirt artist must have worked from this diagram (or vice versa). I'm adding the two inner tetrahedrons and trying to decipher the relationship to my work. So far I see that I have five cubes, each with two tetrahedrons contributing eight faces. Whereas this is one cube with eight 5-noded vertices. Also in the Origin 3000 architecture there is a tower with eight trays and a row of five of them. Hmmm, still pondering.
