OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

It's a nice emblem don't get me wrong, but I see no "Halo" in it, I won't be using it.

I hope mine was at least sent in enough to get in. Go ODSTs! Feet First Into Hell! Flaming Boots of Doom! Not the best art, but I thought they might have edited it for the game.

I am your shield. I am your sword.

I'm not saying that I don't like this picture, but I'd have to say that it's a bit of a rip off of the Oakland Raiders emblem.
Put the two side by side and you'll see far too many similarities for this to be considered an original concept in my opinion.

Wow you're right. I didn't even notice that till you said it but your def right.

I like that one actually. Put some flames like the flaming ninja had instead of all the angles on your flames, and that would be badass.

Oakland Raiders and the winning emblem overlapped

Whether it's superbouncing or interrupting weapon animations, just because we don't personally ban you for it doesn't mean it isn't cheating and extremely poor sportsmanship.

YARRR!! Finally!

I considered entering this contest but I just couldn't think of a good emblem. Its harder than it sounds. I'm really happy with the winning emblem though, nice work. I wish it showed the 11 runners up to see what else people came up with.

I'm guessing they probably received lots of designs like mine:
Spartan


Instead of the weird triangle you should have made the headdress thing a separate color. Its a cool design.

Good point. I was going for the Lamda symbol... the symbol of the Ancient Spartans.

I love you guuuuys....

It's pretty obvious that Mister Chief made it, considering I'm sure at least 500 people sent in one depicting Mister Chief and no doubt one of them was worthy of posting in this news section. The only reason I can see for not posting it would be because that would spoil the surprise of seeing it in the final game.

A pirate? Seriously? Out of all of the designs that were sorted through, this was the best?
Wow, Im sure alot of people that ACTUALLY did good, as pretty ticked off. Im sure there could have been a really awesome emblem, but instead, we get a pirate. The most idiotic and unoriginal concept ever. And I also agree, the emlem looks really close to the Raiders.

$50,000,000,000 REWARD!!!

Santa Claus must be stopped! He is a menace who is not only guilty of billions of counts of breaking in entering, but also runs an illegal sweatshop of midgets forced to work for no pay using stolen materials to make gifts that infringe on every company and manufacturer around the globe, causing world wide economic disasters. He is to be taken dead or alive!

HEATHEN!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!

i love the new emblem! As a Pastafarian (look it up on Wikipedia), i believe in a Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) who created the universe. PIRATES where the origonal Pastafarians. In fact, Pirates where devine beings who gave candy to children. Unfortunately declining the numbers of pirates have lead to world wide disasters such as Global Warming, because FSM is angry with us. Maybe now if more people use this pirate emblem, the Earth will cool down and humanity will be saved. USE THIS EMBLEM! THE FATE OF THE WORLD IS DEPENDING ON IT!!

I'm always going "Arrrrrr", but I don't think I'll pick it as my emblem.

My Real Entry:

Mine fell under the "I'm not fooled" category...but I said as much in my email. I REALLY want a Dreamcast swirl emblem...it would be so sweet!

EDIT: to Don Da Mon

Awesome joke entry! Red ring of death = awesome.

My name's Ben, I remember not putting my last name on there. Would you mind showing us the other 10 contestants creations? Anyways, my last name is Van Bergen, just stating that if anyone sees this that can change it.

It's OK but I really would have liked to see something different. That one just reminds me of the Spartan helmet.

Looks Okay, but Pirates, ninjas, swords, patch over the eye...that's original? I thought we'd see something that would stand alone from all of the other emblems. Looks like Bungie is sticking with what works. Maybe the Bungie team really liked Disney's new movie. Sorry this emblem looks too much like five other emblems from Halo 2. Contests cannot satisfy everyone. Congratulations to Noah Watkins! I know you must have flipped out, you're design is going to be forever charished by a world of Halo fans. Yes, I'll use it.

Bungie should have picked their favorite emblem, then Bungie should have picked ten runner's up, then allowed bungie.net users to decide from those ten. Have one new emblem decided by the creators of Halo, and one emblem decided by the fans of Halo. Congratulations to Noah Watkins!

I agree, the runner's up should be displayed for Bungie.net user's viewing ejoyment, and to give props to those that were recognized. Like Ben...what's his last name?
