I'm not here to flame or to be stupid. I entered the contest, and I admit I lost for probobly good reasons. I put creativity into mine, but the graphics probobly didn't get up to par or it just didn't feel Halo-esque, that's perfectly fine.
Pirate symbol? To combat the Ninja symbol? My friend, you didn't miss the opposite twin of the ninja symbol... You've had it there. Jolly Roger, anyone? The official pirate symbol?
Also... I must say that that's as smooth as Bungie's own artists could possibly get, and admittedly that does make it look quite nice. But it does bear alot of similarity in design to the flaming ninja (Bungie acknowledgement here), jolly roger, and especially the Oakland Raider's symbol. Also.. the long war between ninjas and pirates? That's not original in the least. That war has been going on probobly since I was born.
I agree with a previous poster.. Let us see the runner ups and have a community vote on that... Or at least pick the next best.
Seriously, Bungie already has a pirate symbol. With this addition, it'll be one ninja symbol and TWO pirate symbols, and Bungie, I don't know if you wanna get in a war with all the ninja fans out there (OR the pirate fans, for that matter), so, if -I- were in that position (But hey, this is me, not the long time game company), I would either add in another ninja symbol or take out this pirate symbol and replace it with something neutral.
Oh, and because as fair and neutral as I've tried to be in this, I really can't help but want to display my icon like so many else have... Peer pressure? Too much self respect? Maybe.
