It would be cooler to have a PC program that lets you design your own emblem then use windows connect to send the emblem in to the game would make a great step towards more individuality on xbox live. But I guess that could arise complications in stopping people attaching mods to the files and stuff but a guy can dream of an ideal world without those people. Being overseas I suppose I should wish luck to you lucky people able to enter. How will you decide which one makes the cut? or is that on a need to know basis? (AKA. Rock paper scissors till one of the emblem designers wins).

...
One more time Europe is left out, i hate that, i started making some logos, i have made 10 logos and now i come here to read more about this competition, and suprise! I cannot participate :D

Could you explain me better why we can't?
Which law specify that Eurpoeans people can't send images to bungie??
Ok it's probably not exactly that, can you tell me which laws prevent Europeans to participate?

I am tired of those kind of things, always a poor excuse, i am sure you can do something so we can, Europe, participate to this small conpetition, please.

Thank you and sorry for my poor english...

We~eell... If you guys at Bungie can get the contest open to UK residents I'm in. I have an entry made and ready to send in... I think... ^_^" There'll probably be something quite simmlar to mine anyway. It's not like I'm the only one to want an eye-like emblem. XD

Although it does look really crappy on my current Avvie background. I'll fiddle with the colours to get it to look better.

Honestly people...elighten yourselves before directing hate at our beloved Bungie!!!!
It is not their fault...as there are many many laws around this type of thing and specific international laws, regarding any contest.
Do you honestly think Bungie would prohibit other coutries from submitting anything??
please give me 1 (one) valid reason they would not want submissons from anyone that would want to participate.....


Also.....agreed that Bungie deserves a cookie for community involvment.

I never said that i think that bungie doesn't want Europeans to participate.
It's easy to say that but the only one who can do something are Bungie and Microsoft not us -_-

What the hell is the difference between an American who send the email with logos and a European who send the same email???

Why!!?

What's the difference between an Amercian ho wins and a European who wins?

I don't see what could stop you bungie, you are not going to send anything to the winner so you don't need the postal code, city of the winner or whatever, this is a poor excuse, tell me what laws which laws prevent us from participating to this contest?

I am client, i have the right to be informed...

It probably has something to do with keeping the art or using it for certain purposes. Like Frankie said, it's certain branches of the government that make the rules. Maybe your gov't laws say any art chosen in a contest must be compensated. Or, your art must be returned and only used if bungie/MS gives youroyalties or whatever. Who knows what law says what, but I know that if lawyers were not holding Bungie back, they would open it up to everyone.

Responding to serveral questions I see.

You can send in one, and only one, entry. Any entries after your first will be disqualified. If you used different emails to send in several entries, this rule will still apply, as the rules imply it is on a per-person basis.

Don't worry about using transparency. You can only use two colors, and those are gonna be changed by the player in the settings menu anyway, so it's really not important. Heck, let's say you were submitting a skull and crossbones (already exists, don't bother) You could color the skull pink and the bones neon green and it wouldn't change the in-game look, as that's controled by the player.

If you sent your emblem to an American friend and they turned it in, they would obviously get the credit, not you. You would also be disqualified if bungie found out, as the American would be taking credit for work not his, and you can't participate as it obviously said in the rules. There may also be legal troubles. Just don't do it!

I think this is a great idea! Not only do we do your jobs for you, we actually WANT to do it :P
Maybe.. if I have time I will submit one, however I do believe with the mass potential there is out there that picking one out of thousands is going to be TOUGH. I do say however, that you guys should post up the winner, and runner ups, and special ones you guys thought looked good.

Hell! I'm still sending in mine. Frankie didn't answer my question(I knew he mightn't) so to heck with It. Not like they could charge me for anthing, but Bold-Face-ness! They are gonna see it and like it and say:'damn I wish we could use that, and do there own variation of it. When I see it in the game, I would know, only I, I tell yuh, IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-P



p.s. just blowing of some steam! GR8 idea though. 3 points!

Nice idea for some community involvement. Shame it's only open to US & Canada. It seems like something that could be open to anyone, as you submit by email and there's no prize to be mailed or anything. I assume it's something to do with legal.


I wish. It's all legal requirements, I'm afraid. Even Quebecers can't enter.


Frankie can you possibly explain why this is a legal issue? I'd love to enter but as a UK resident I'd have to get a friend from the US to enter mine for me or something. Then of course they would get the credit!

I'm wondering when you'rer gonna shut up and make my dinner.

So I set about making an emblem in MSpaint and finish it before I had really read the rules. Does anyone else find this part particularly BS? " Entries may not contain, as determined by us, in our sole and absolute discretion, any content that: promotes alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, FIREARMS/WEAPONS (or the use of any of the foregoing) or a particular political agenda;" I am fine with all of it being against the rules except no promoting firearms or weapons? Are you F*kin joking me? The game is a violent FPS and we can's have any emblems with guns in them? I made a sweet a** emblem with an assault rifle and BR crossed and a cross-hair above it but now I can't sumbmit it because "we wouldnt want to promote violence". Dah-nile ain't just a river in egypt bungie, your game is violent and promotes guns, face it.

Anybody else notice the "do not promot firearms/wepons" part? Are you flippin kidding me? ITS A FPS! What is wrong with you bungie? Are you really barried under that many layers of denile? I already had made my emblem before I read the rules and yes it has two key weapons from halo 3 in it, I guess I will be disqaulified for putting weapons IN THE GAME in my emblem. There IS a grenade as an emblem in halo 2, gee, I think that might just be thought of as a weapon maybe! Bungie you are officially full of it.

Let's put it this way, if you read the rules, then you know the emblems are picked like this:

[50%-] Creativity and originality;

[25% -] Design of the emblem

[25% -] Suitability for use as a badge of honor and decoration within the Halo 3 multiplayer universe.

This being so, even if you could make something with guns and such in it, you probably wouldn't get very many creativity points, which make up half of the total percentage. So, don't sweat it, and think up something more original. You wouldn't have won anyway.
