New planet discovered?

Spotted in the shopfront signage at Ivan’s International Deli in the Dandenong Plaza Shopping Centre, this depiction of an earthlike planet reveals breathtaking detail of alien landmasses.

Note the marine abyssal trench just below the center, which can be clearly seen from space. The topographic design can only be by the master himself, Slartibartfast. All in all, another opus deserving of the highest award!

UPDATE

Oops. Silly me! The above picture is in fact intended to represent our Earthly home viewed from the North Pole. Compare the following Google Earth image:

What bamboozled me was the unearthly disproportion of some of the land masses in the Ivan’s Deli artwork; particularly Greenland, which resembles more a spectacular bug strike on a car windshield than the Danish island dependancy. Oh, and Iceland appears to have merged with Greenland.

So perhaps the Ivan’s Deli artwork is Slartibartfast’s Earth Mk II?
