True, Dust, but according to the websites, merrick is a company owned by the pb-sales. Pb-sales has also supposedly just purchased the company Oceanic Airlines, from LOST. Probably a mix of using the old The Island company for some alternative means in the ARG of LOST. Globespotter.com connects to that site, the Hanso Foundation, and has tons of repetitions of the LOST numbers. So, it is at least worth looking into. (the same for oceanicworldair.com and pb-sales.com)
I think that is just an example of really nice framing/scene-composition (one of the less talked about but most impressive aspects of Lost,) perhaps with an effort to employ certain patterns, shapes, and other visual references to the i-ching and what-not. It's dope, but I don't know that it means anything specific.
That said, Brian as a Dharma connection is a good thought, and I'd bet there's definitely more to Vincent than we know so far.
They seem to allude to the possibility of human cloning in LOST and the idea of a new world. Check it out.
It's a collection of links all found within eachother.
