LucasArts as everyone knew it died a long time ago, the most upsetting thing was that the company that was left had no vision past the Star Wars license, leaving all the other IP to rot.

Sorry in advance for being negative, it's not these particular buttons that are problematic, they're technically very nice, its animated icons/buttons/logos in general that I think we should consider visually upsetting.

I would implore you to investigate whether its your own discomfort that you're trying to avoid, rather than upsetting children who will invariably see penises before you want them to.
