You don’t see this sort of “atom means science-y” stuff in The Day the Earth Stood Still or Forbidden Planet.
It’s my understanding that Universal was considered a “minor” studio during that era and more or less embraced that role, thus their productions tended to fall more on the “B movie” side, and consequently, more schlocky.
Nice self-reference, though. 
It was originally planned to have “three-dimensional” instruments on the bridge of the starship Enterprise. These presumably would have looked like the ones in Forbidden Planet.
I was sure there were more of these – the Rutherford atom logos were ubiquitous in the 1950s.
