Some of them are similar to Chinese words.

At the bottom right, the pattern is similar to "ä¸¦".
At the top left, the pattern is similar to "æ¥".
At middle, the pattern is a bit similar to "éª¨“.

參考: I'm Chinese.

Years ago (sometimes still, but not so much) when Westerners wanted to convey a sense of China they'd make up "characters" that they thought had the right look. You find this quite often in movies before the 1960s where signs along a street in China or Chinatown would all be totally unreadable by anyone who knew the language. Apparently people never thought about hiring a Chinese to make it more realistic.
