Don't bother PMing me about rating your screen shot.

I would have no problem with it if it really was the best, but it isnt. I'm disappointed in your decision of the winner bungie..

@Dynamite's horde of would-be assassins: Now that you've heard the voice of reason, can you just shut up about it? Please? Seriously, if this thread was an indication of what all Bungie.net members behave like, I'd have no choice but to believe tons are conceited, prone to envy, and paranoid to boot. Prove me wrong, pleeeeeease ;).

I'll pass your message on to this "Boltolf" ;)

In what way, exactly?

I don't know, maybe it did, but it was still off-topic. Maybe talk about the emblem instead?...

Off-topic? It was concerning the behavior of posters in this very thread, that's not nearly as far off-topic as accusing the winner of plagiarism, in my opinion.

Oops. My bad, AGDTinMan. I appologize to ya on that part. ;)

As for the:
"Work smart, not hard. I do believe these were judged by their idea, not by how many hours it took to create them. And the idea of this one was to create the perfect foil for the ninja, which is obviously a pirate.

Isn't it reasonable that an emblem would be picked that matches the style of the previous ones? Why would we have one emblem stick out like a sore thumb?"

That was kindda the point of the contest. To allow the COMMUNITY to design a ORIGINAL emblem. Not a REMAKE of a current one. Should it "stick out like a sore thumb?" Yes. The last think a artist (any self respecting artist) wants is their design to MERGE into that of someone else's work and thus forgotten.

Sometimes working Hard AND Smart pays off. And in the case of this case, it clearly didn't. It's clear to me that for anyone to even think of entering one of Bungie's contests, it has to be pretty much a rip off of their work. The entry did NOT follow the rules fully and you've gotta admit it WAY to close to the Ninja and Spartan to be concidered "Original." I'm getting more and more deepressed with each post so I'll end here for a while. I've got too much ORIGINALart to work on before before Wednesday morning (for work). Talk amungst yourselves.

I think the size is similar because they made it that size. How about you put the mc pic over the ninja pic and see how they fit. What? They are almost the exact same size? oh my. Bungie is riipping each other off.
You lost. Too bad. I say it's good. Nice work.

Like I said before, the emblem looks great. I guess I just got a different interpretation of the rules when the contest was posted. Honestly, I like the Pirate emblem a lot better than the Ninja. I will definitely sport it come this Fall.

Job very well done!

Couldn't bungie have posted the top 11 or whatever it was and let us vote on them? Because that one's kinda boring.

Not really, though it's not the most visually striking of all the entries I've seen. Here's mine:

Congrats to the winner, though I don't see the appeal of the design, I will not question the wishes of the Bungie's. LOL.

Shame though, I thought my cyper ounk take on a sparta helpmet would make it.

Amidst waves of entries, one swashbuckled and spliced its mainbrace above the rest. That's not to say other entries didn't inspire us, though.

Expect a whole new war to unravel on Xbox Live. Team Ninja vs. Team Gold Dabloons.

It's an awesome emblem. My compliments to Noah Watkins. Congrats Noah! Yo Ho!

For those of you who were saying it looked like the Ninja symbol, that was sorta the point of my design. It just made sense if I was making the nemesis of the Ninja.


You don't need to defend yourself Dynamite, you did a kick ass job, congrats. Most of the other entries I've seen were Halo related, which is fine but if people would stop and think of all the symbols people are using on live, they're the symbols that have nothing to do with Halo. Ninja, Jolly Roger, bomb that looks like a wang, etc.

Most of us want unique, crisp, clean and cool looking. I for one shall wear your bad ass pirate emblem with Troll pride.

There is no free speech here. There is no due process.
Welcome to Bungie. You have no rights. Play nice.™

Total rip off of oakland raiders symbol...You may not use any existing corporation’s logos, trademarks or other identifiable images...thats what the rules were.
Bungie just picked it cause of pimps at sea.
They should of modified it to not be a "corporations logo"
I liked my rendition of soffish, though I know they could of tweeked it (I'm not that good at drawing on the computer).

Oh, BTW, it might of looked cooler if instead of swords toggled, they would of put in a pimp hat to replace the swords.

This is orginal, it has alot to do with the game, and can't really be compared to anything else in the game. And to everyone saying It shouldnt stick out like a sore thumb. I would just like to point out that there really isnt anything to stick out from. I mean there is a grenade, bomb, wasp, brute head, grunt, delta, etc. So what exactly are you trying to match up. I think the real purpose of the contest was to have a different looking emblem.....but i guess i was wrong.
