I have a question on a few of the Bungie ensignas, since I became a Halo fan last January, I'm still new to some of the old stuff. If anyone can explain what any of these signs/symbols mean, it would be appreciated.
1) Seventh Column (seven pointed star thingy) Help Bunge take over the world is usually written near it. Any help?
2) Don't know what it's called. (Blue arm holding lightning bolt) I have no idea on this one, but it looks badass.
3)Carnage Zone (yellow sign w/ broken-in-half stick guy) Marathon maybe? I don't know.

So please, if any of you know what these symbols are, mean, or came from, I'd appreciate it if you help a fellow Halo fan out.

EDIT: If this is wrong forum, mods feel free to move it or delete it.

The only other forum this would go in is the Underground, so here is fine too.

1) Look up 'Fifth Column' on Wikipedia. Then 'Sixth Column'. Then you figure out the rest :)
2) Dunno, lol.
3) Again, dunno.

Try Bungiepedia. Google it.

Alright, figured out the Seventh Column symbol meaning, but still don't understand the others.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

The carnage zone thing is from a marathon shirt.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

1) Seventh Column: The only column ever to exist. Synonymous with many users to Ye Olde version of The Bungie.net Community forum. It holds to power within the lead us to the path of righteousness.

2) The Underground - The mark of the Army. The Army through the Seventh Column shall be Bungie's Tool (with Mat Noguchi as head Tool Developer) leading the way to The Great Journey.

3) Carnage Sign - Let's say that Bungie doesn't give tours. Caution - Open Ling-Ling's jar at risk of a-splosion. Shishka will remain only to finish the work of the Grand Architect.

I understand all of that except, who's the Grand Architect?

Being a Bungie fan is like being part of an epic ARG...

Are you sure that you are sure that this isn't an ARG or that you're sure that this is an ARG? If I told you, well, there wouldn't be any fun left for you. Go explore child. You will learn from the ways of the elders.

So wait,
the Fifth Column is a traitorous outsider group
The Sixth Column is a nationalist group that wants to take back whats their's
I can only assume that the Seventh Column is a Bungie related militant group?
Bungie!!!!!!! Why must everything be so confusing?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Ya know, I used to ask myself that. I've been following Halo since it was slated to be for Mac, but all the Bungie weirdness has been going on a lot longer than that. I tried to catch up, but now I've just let it go and I'm a mindless automaton.
