Aperture 1980 background

Description

This is a background for the 1980s and onwards logo for Aperture Science from Portal 1 and 2.

There's a secret message on this background that's in binary.

I was going to make a timelapse of this, but guess what?
IT DIDN'T RECORD.
I was using a program called Camstudio (a program I will never use again for anything) and I hit record, but guess what? The program decided to not record the video.
It's as simple as that, it just said "nope, I'm not recording this crap!" and that was that.
It didn't even give me an error message, it just said "nope" and that was that.
I am now adding Camstudio to my list of programs I am NEVER going to use again, along with Zwei-Stein (which was just waaaaay too hard to use) and...well, actually that's it.
I actually have a pretty high tolerance for computer programs, especially crashing-wise (heck, I still use and tolerate LMMS, which crashes more than a blind drunkard on a freeway on my Windows Vista computer). But I draw the line when a program doesn't do what it's explicitly told to do for no reason at all. ESPECIALLY if the task in question is as simple as saving a file which I spent over half an hour on even though it's saved 1 hour long timelapses in the past, and in pretty good quality too (but only really if it's on an absurdly low frame rate like one frame every two seconds or something, otherwise the quality is worse than even the most poorly encoded and over-compressed .gif file).
I really gotta get the paid version of FRAPS...I really do.

Program: GIMP 2.6.4

Anyway, the vector graphic of the Aperture Science logo was from somewhere else, but I can't remember where (I got the SVG over a year ago).
