Wow I cant wait to start thinking of ideas. If I sat down for awhile I'll probably think of about a hundred emblems. Hope bungie has a big mailbox!

"Unfortunately, this contest is not open to everyone (US and Canada only, for starters)".............. OMG how laaaame.. who came up with that idea? I want to try make one myself too. Europe should have its own contest then... You will only get more emblems. Is the problem that you dont got time to take a look at every one? If thats the reason I can understand it.... I just realy wanted to make one ^^ sry my bad english (tough you should be able to understand it ^^ )

if anyone whose outside the US wants to send me their ideas - ask for my email in a PM and i could forward them to bungie so that it would be from the US. i dont know if this would work actually with the rules and stuff. i dont know whose name i'd put just because of the rules and what not. id love to try to help you guys out. if it comes down to it i could say my name was your name. haha. though ive probably just got myself blacklisted from the competition for this post. its worth a shot, so that bungie could get the best emblems possible, by having the biggest pool. im sure it M$ who are freaking out about the rules so maybe bungie would be a little more lenient. anyways, i promise to do whatever i can to get you credit. im an artist in real life myself and as such im extremely bound to the code of honor in not copying or taking credit for others work. anyways, let me know in a PM if you want to try, id just like to see what people come up with too. haha. being an artist ive spent hours trying to come up with new combos for good looking symbols in halo 2.

bungie should pick the best entries they get, ones they would be happy with no matter which one won, then have the fans vote for like a top 3 or something and the 3 get in. just 1 emblem to win seems kind of small, considering the amount of entries you probably get and the more diversity of that symbols you can create in halo 3 the better. no one likes to see there symbol copied by someone else! haha

I wonder if there is a Teabaging Medal?


If there were, it would be called "TESTOCULAR!"

What if it just LOOKS like a shot-glass with a skewered olive? What if it's actually a soda...cup with a um...a toggle-able growth?

Ones more I'm saddened by the restriction to certain territories. I don't blame you guys at Bungie though. I'm fully aware that those rules are made by a higher authority and that you would wish nothing more then to let the rest of the world compete as well.
I am curious though, if it's possible for Bungie (or Microsoft) to take some action that would change these laws that prohibit the people outside the given territories to compete in competitions such as these. Probably a long shot, but hey, you got no for an answer now.. so that can't get any worse ;-)

For those who can compete in this competition.. I wish you folks the best of luck. I'm curious what the winning logo will look like.

Like I said before, you'll get disqualified. The rules clearly state that the work must be orignal and made by you, meaning submitting other's work = a big, fat NO.

First of all, flaming won't make people want to respond, nor will it help you get an answer. As for your question, I can't specifically state that it's law 3 dash 4-A, as I've never studied international law.

If you want proof there are laws against contests like this, go buy a candy bar with a contest on it. It'll say something along the lines "Valid for <country here> residents only. Void where prohibbited." Yes, I realize used a candy bar contest is a horrible example, it's just the only thing I could think of that just about anyone could find. Anyway, it shows that there are many places where there are restrictions. You don't live in the US, so you wouldn't know, but contests actually have many laws concerning them. For example, it is illegal to run a contest where the purchase of something is required, unless it is government sanctioned. I could go on, but this should be enough. If you want the exact laws, go use google, as that's what I would be doing to find them.

You seem to be utterly convinced the only reason you can't participate is because bungie hates you. I don't see why this is, as they've already done tons for their fans. They have a beta for H3, they have contests like this, they actually communicate with fans, and interact with their community, unlike many, many game companies, and all people do is say Bungie hates them. Because you can't enter one contest, you automatically decide it's bungie's fault and there couldn't be any other influences. I'm hope bungie keeps up their good community interaction, as it's some of the best out there.

What's the difference between Beer Nuts and Deer Nuts?
Beer nuts are a buck fifty. Deer Nuts are under a Buck.

Of course it would be better. It's not up to us. It's the law. If you want to blame someone, blame various institutions of government.

YEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

I hope my "Wet Flame" emblem wins. Just sayin...

Also, Frankie, stop neglecting me. I feel sad now because of you.

I feel awesome. At least my skin isn't chafing.

I was simply saying that there ARE laws, as can be seen just about anywhere (I used a candy as an example, if you think laws that apply to 99 cent candies don't apply to $60-130 dollar video games, well, there's nothing else I can say), and I quite clearly stated I've stated I am not a law student, so I can't individually point out laws either in my home country, the US, or in France. If I could tell you specific laws, I would. But I can't, so I'm trying to reason with you to prove, through logic and common sense, that there are. You, however, just flame me in response, so I'm done with that.

Why can't Bungie do a contest for 7 emblems. I mean 7 continents. The holy 7. that mean 1. Emblem = USA 2. EMblem=Austrilia 3.EMblem= Europe 4.Emblem= South America 5.Emblem= Canada (because no one live in Antaktis) 6.Emblem=Africa 7.Emblem = Asin
That would be great, now wouldn't it? Think about that Bungie okey!

1) The official rules mention something about registering, but all I found was the email address to which entries should be submitted. Do I need to register? If so, where? If not, what info do I need to include in the email?

2) The story page (http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&lin k=emblemcontest) uses plurality like "Make sure that your examples..." and "Send jpegs or gifs...", and Rule/Reg #1 states that "...each original emblem you create and submit in the Contest will be called an 'entry.'"

Rule/Reg #5, however, states "You may only submit one (1) entry. If you submit more than one (1) entry, all entries submitted after the first entry will be disqualified." I just want to confirm... only one design per person will be considered, correct?

Thanks!

Man, did my post get deleted? Oh well...I has a flavor, btw.

Oh, and also, I think it's really cool that you Holy Honored Ones have come up with this. It shows that you are completely awesome.

To those who are entered in to this, have faith. One of us will become the chosen one. Good luck to you all!

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Will the person who wins get their name put in the Halo 3 credits?

Im an Enigma i am not a law student too, it's for that i am asking for which laws is bungie talking about or is that just an excuse because you don't want to have too many entries -_-

You disappoint bungie... >_>

And you dont want to replie -_-

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstien

It isnt a specific law, but how the Copywrite laws and such work across different countries. Thy conflict too much to make things simple, and bungie doesnt want to deal with too many legalities. Besides, you guys are getting the Halo 3 beta, why does it matter that you cant submit a 128x128 px image?

Just bored at work so I threw something together. Greek symbol/last letter of the Greek alphabet--- "omega" which means "the extreme or final part" for the end of the series, the end of the war, or *gasps!* the end of the world! Star for my LONE STAR STATE of Texas :D. The "bird of prey" (secondary color) can be an eagle or whatever you want it to be, 7 feathers on each wing, and 7 tail feathers.

check it

So yeah, it's a work in progress, mostly the eagle and the feathers, as I'm not sure if they will show up well enough being that small. Meh, flame on.

P.S. If anyone has a link to ALL of the current emblems in H2 please send it my way. Don't want to waste time on something that might resemble something already in there :D

Awesome. So I sent mine in but its one of those things where you're really excited about it at first, then as the days go on, and you start to think about it, you say to yourself, wow, i cant believe i couldnt come up with something better then that, you know one of those things.

Just wondering, lets say that you guys at bungie get like oh idk, 1 million entries, are you really going to look at all of them???

It's a powerful upright that symbolizes, well, power and uprightedness. The HEPA filter is for ridding the universe of covenant spores, and note the rotating brush- a figurative play on the 360 platform.
