It's also a fixture in 'movie diary' Letterboxd-style content from cinephiles tracking their watches monthly and sharing reviews across socials. The blue color and movie camera silhouette are international wayfinding conventions. It's used in airports, malls, and tourist information signage in cities all around the world today.
