I definitely agree, and that was kinda my point.  Of two options,

(1) a half-baked abstraction of Mars, where the representation is only clear
to the community inner circle and where an outsider would think "What are
those balls/warts?",

(2) a clear representation of Mars, where the worst the outsider can think
is "what does Mars have to do with D?" (a question that would also follow
your explanation of the abstract representation),

I'd take the latter.  If that's still not good enough because the Mars theme
doesn't make sense, then the only real option is to scrap the Mars theme
altogether.  I wouldn't want to do that.
