Subject: Design an Emblem Contest Winner Revealed

Here's my emblem, I got 2nd place. Kyle Corcoran

African Elephant

I decided to go with an African Elephant due to the setting of Halo 3. Halo 3 and Halo 2 both include a lot of places from Africa and I thought that an elephant represented that perfectly.

Mine was completely original, I drew it out from my own interpretation of an elephant. I thought the emblem had to do with the halo universe, as stated in the rules, and couldn't resemble any previous emblems.

I guess they like Pimps at Sea more than Africa, haha.

Maybe it will get included in the Final game, or maybe they'll hold a vote for a second winner... either way, that's my entry.

Congrats to Noah for the Pirate, arrrr!

Go Rockets!!!

Yao Ming is back!!!

Why would Bungie pick a pirate and an elephant for the top two entries. Thats dumb. The dice and the skull with the two plasma swords better even if it was too detailed they could have modified it to look cool and less detailed. Bungie im sorry but you picked the wrong winner. ):

Call me Wolfie | My anti-drug
New Flood for life <3

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Damn, I thought mine had a pretty good chance. Too bad I wasn't a runner up D: I think it was the flames that they didn't like because it resembles the Ninja emblem. I was hoping they would change that part or something XD! Ah well.

This was it for those of you who care:
Rock Out

EDIT: Congrats though to the winner! :D

Don't you remember how they called the Beta "Pimps at Sea". Do you remember The New Mombassa from Halo 2, or the E3 trailer where Master Chief was standing looking at the massive forerunner structure? That was Kenya, and that's in Africa.

What better represents Africa than an elephant. African Elephant

And what better represents Pimps at Sea than a pirate.

It had to do with the halo universe, and I think they made a good choice.

I am your shield. I am your sword.

Im not saying mine shoulda won cuz I honestly only spent about 2 mins on it and didnt try any other ideas. And I have already stated my opinion on the winner. But since alot of people are posting links to there entries I figured I would as well.

That is nice and clean but wouldn't be recognizable without the secondary color (whichever color that was).

This was my entry: a demon head with a halo.

  • 06.06.2007 12:06 PM PDT

I like that demon head man. I almost did the same idea. I like it without the halo though, the head and horns are cool enough. Good idea.

I don't know which one they liked... so I'm showing them all.
I personally like the tribal looking one but i did this all on a whim.
Hope you guys like. Also the pirate is cool, Congrats.

I'm just glad I was on the list. Everyone I know was calling me while I was at work and I was ignoring their calls.
I didn't find out untill that evening.

Assassinator of the Assassins, Dictator of the Dicks, Killer of the.....uhhh....Killers....I'm just here to -blam!- YOU!

UMM, BUNGIE GUYS- you do realize that the winning emlem you picked looks just like a copywrited emblem for a profesional football team, ever heard of the Oakland Raiders?, the NFL might be a little mad if you put that in your game without asking them first, and plus the Raiders suck big time!

i like that 1...but u know that bungie knows a lot of wiggers nd preps play halo... i like the flames on that




and i think bungie should really consider putting the elephant symbol...even tho that only 1 can get in, cuz the elephant looks cdool, and like something that would be put in halo.. it just fits

Way to go bungie, you chose another symbol that is plain and has nothing to do with the game... kudos to you

Seriously, guys. People who say its cheating, please go to a dark corner and die of something nasty, or just be quiet, either or i dont mind. The emblem is simple and effective and counterparts the ninja emblem. So seriously, shut up, its a good emblem. Well done Noah.

Oh yeah, wouldnt mind seeing the runner ups at least, would be good bungie.

Fred was born with a pigeon's wing. people never made fun of him, though. one day he looked in the mirror and saw that HE WAS A PIDGEON! he pooped right there as he often did, wherever he was.

I kinda like ninjas better

Ya same here i called Xbox Support and i got some indian dude who told me to wait a few hours then turn my xbox back on, the thought of no xbox for over an hour was proposterous, I then proceded to call him foul words and throw the phone

I really dont think it was that great... :(

  • 06.06.2007 4:31 PM PDT

The info machine should of won, it would of been funny

  • 06.06.2007 4:34 PM PDT

Wow... I thought we were going for something original, since a large part of the judging score would be based on creativity, but i guess I've never seen an emblem like that before. I just assumed that someone at bungie would be logical enough to design that logo themselves but i guess they need to search all over America for something that cool. ;)

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?

Did you just agree with yourself?

Anyways, I think the emblem's alright. I don't believe that there weren't better entries, though.

  • 06.06.2007 5:46 PM PDT

Without God I am weak, but with him I am unstoppable....I know who my lord is........Do you?

Well I personally think they should use them all. They all look great and just because they didn't win doesn't mean they weren't good I've seen some true works of art made by some of the dedicated fans. I personally didn't make one because I will use no other emblem other than my OWN skull king. I am after all the angel of death so my emblem suits me just fine. But anyway congrats to all who participated and I hope that you guys are ready to die when you meet me in Halo 3.

Sincere congrats to Noah for winning the contest! I'm not personally a fan of the emblem because I'm sick of priate stuff (thanks, Disney). But I'm not gonna trashtalk Noah or Bungie.

I suspect my entry fell into the "Everybody's doing it" category 'cause I think it's a good idea, but not a very original one. Did anyone else submit a sniper scope/reticle emblem? Let's see it.

Here's mine: [img=http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4122/h3eye2colorsvz6. jpg]

I agree with the general consensus that it would be great to see the entries of the runners-up!
