Some of those are absolutely fantastic! The 3rd to last ("spiders") and 2nd to last ("neon") could be reworked into some interesting alien ship control room designs. I used to draw control panels onto play-blocks as an adolescent and tried to give them an aesthetic tilt. Reflecting the style of the times, they looked like R2D2 mated with Max Headroom: "B-b-b-beep, Ch-ch-chirp"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
I remember reading somewhere that the control room at the Chernobyl nuclear plant looked like someone had taken a grab bag of knobs and dials and thrown them at the wall. The report concluded that the design of the control room made safe management of the plant more difficult.
