Strange Seele logo and Spectrum Emission Analysis

I was watching Evangelion episode 23 yesterday and I noticed something I hadn't before. At approximately 19 minutes 50 seconds, there is an odd looking Seele logo at the bottom of the screen. The patterns reminded me of a spectrum graph. So I recreated the logo by tracing it. Next, I removed the triangle. Then I superimposed the patterns over a diagram of the visible spectrum and stretched them to fit the width of the diagram. These patterns don't mean much to me, but I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts on this.

I'd assumed that the bars represented chromosome ideograms, given the nature of the work at the "Artificial Evolution Laboratory".

The two come together at one point

Otherwise the bands are too wide to represent absorption spectra, and too irregular in size to be any sort of simple bar code -- they're not even like the possible signal in the binary soup here

You really may be on to something, alternative images of the seele logo have the spectrum colors inside as well Image
Each of the 7 eyes seems to have all a distinctly different pattern, my assumption is it somehow represents each of the 7 chairmen of Seele uniquely .

But there aren't seven Seele chairmen... The committee has five members. (Six if you count Gendo.) The inner circle of Seele has 12 members.

i'm a molecular biologist, they represents exons and introns, genes are drawn like this. with each block meaning a piece of dna code. in splicing blocks rearranges to give different products from a single transcript. you can see also the 4 amino bases that constitutes the dna A C G T. in sequencing this bases are obtained scanning dna molecules by various means. NGS are the most advanced sequencing systems to scan dna.

Now that's a good thread necro if I've ever seen one. Thanks for your insight! Always good to see a professional shedding some light on obscure topics.
As a followup, does the sequence in particular mean anything to you? Is there some hidden lore hint in here, or is this just generic noise/a lorem ipsum type of thing
I can see why Gendo hired Misato to do the actual commanding. He tried it once and did an appalling job. ~ AWinters
Your point of view is horny, and biased. ~ glitz2hard
What about titty-ten? ~ Reichu
The movies function on their own terms. If people can't accept them on those terms, and keep expecting them to be NGE, then they probably should have realized a while ago that they weren't going to have a good time. ~ Words of wisdom courtesy of Reichu
