Hey everyone! This is my first topic here at Bungie forums, and what an awesome way to start it off! I spent almost 15 minutes going through the forum pages, reading rules and trying to figure out which section would be suitable for my topic so that it doesn't get locked immediately :p
I've been wanting to make my own custom painted console for a long long time and finally i pulled myself together to make one. Ladies and Gentlemen....Drum roll please! :D

The reason why i chose the "O3" logo is because it looks alot sexier than the simple "Reach" in my opinion. This doesn't mean i liked Halo 3 more than the other games...Reach is still THE best Halo in my opinion.
The overall design is the same exact one i drew on my first Xbox 360 over 2 years ago. Back then i drew it on top of the casing using a mere Pencil (lol)...Please note that this is the first time i've done this so don't mind the noticeable bumps in the silver base coat, thats mainly due to my inexperience on how to properly handle a spray paint.
I spent almost an hour properly drawing the logo on a piece of paper and cutting it out accurately, making sure i don't screw up the curves in anyway (cut me some slack, i am not someone who can draw properly. I am just a nerdy gamer lol). The logo is actually multiple pieces of paper stuck together to make one hard piece. Its "stickiness" to the surface is made more permanent when i applied the base coat....The Blue color on it was added later.
If you see this, Bungie, this one goes out to you. I've been a big fan of the series and I wanted to honor you as well as my love for Halo with my efforts, i hope you appreciate it. Its been some really awesome 10 years. We love you! :)
