Looks like Thor/Zeus/Jupiter's hand holding lightning bolts to me.

If you look it without the bolt, it looks really the comunist simbol.

EDIT: Never mind.

Yeah and if you look at it without the hand it looks like the electricity symbol. And the main communist symbol is a hammer and sicle, right? Are you sure you're not confusing communist imagery with that of something else? The Ulster Unionist party perhaps?

Wiki the Seventh Column... I can't remeber what it said, but the 6th column had something to do with some political stuff I think...

It's just there to symbolise Bungie's quest for a new world order, a quest for world dominition; one that is apolitical as far as I'm aware.

The Soviet flag... the Chinese flag... the Vietnamese, the Angolese and the Mozambique flag. All of those have/had it, and all of them were governed by Communist parties. Along with the pentangle, it's the universal symbol of communism.

I logged into Bungie.net and all I got was this lame member rank.

It shares simmilarities, but I don't think the aim was for the symbol to be Communist. I think they were shooting for 'We're the 7th Column, and we're coming'

if you look at it without the background, it doesn't look anything like the communist symbol.

I thought we weren't supposed to talk politics here? This knee-jerk negative reaction to the concept of communism is kind of screaming out for a political debate that I know I can't start. I have to listen to people ignorantly bash a political system with sweeping generalities, without being able to contend them. I feel isolated... :(

It's just a logo meant to evoke general megalomaniacal concepts in a satirical fashion. Let's just leave it at that...

Sounds about right.

I'm actually surprised that fist with the lighting bolts isn't an Emblem in Halo 2.. (or 3?) :D I just realized that.

Wonder what this guy would have thought of the old "Revolution" Theme from Pre-New Hawtness back in 2003-2004.

All bright red with yellow, Cyrillic styles to the letters, and of course the lightning bolts in the fist.

Damn stosh, bring THAT one back....
