I went back to play some Halo CE campaign, I found some instances of the marathon symbol.

Im pretty shure there is more than the two I have found, so if you can find one post where it is, and if someone has a capture card, they can get some pictures.

1. Asault on The Control Room - the control room platform Pic from HBO

2. The Maw/ Pillar of Autumn - In the opping seen (it the maw it is easier to see) look closely at the Pilliar of pillar of autumn when the lighting is right you can see the symbol on either side of the ship. sorry for crappy picture, Im no good and this stuff, but here it is

I know this might be old, but if the the marathon symbol has been found before in other locations, please still post it.

I would've liked Quarantine Zone better if it was called Blaspheme Quarantine.

Halo trivia masters may recall a single player level whose name was originally Blaspheme Quarantine.

I've always felt that "Light Match, Run Away" should have been "Frogblast the Ventcore!"

Its either something that is vastly important and mysterious, or something to create the impression of being important and mysterious.

Any ideas as to the purpose of it? or are we just looking for something to read into, and yet again Bungie have supplied it (not that I'm complaining, we want to have a deeper aspect to the game).

anybody found any instances of se7en's in halo?

I rest my case

I haven't seen any Marathon logos other than the ones posted already.

Sevens?
External access junction 4C? C is the third letter in the alphabet. 4+3=7
Wow, I just felt like a huge nerd. hahaha

Ok I'm not a Halo expert so can someone tell me what level (or stage of level) this is?

as a member from the marathon story page i shall enlighten you on the connections between marathon halo and the sacred numbers 3, 7 and 10
-343 Guilty spark 343 =7^3
-2401 Pentient Tangent 2401 =7^4
- 7 halos
-there are 3 drop ships in both cutscenes Arbiter and outskirts.
the pilots in dropship look like marathon man.
there is S'pht writing in the waiting menu or at end credits in the backround.
- "g" as in Guilty is the se7enth letter of the alpahbet and T as in Tangent is the seventh last letter.
-That same familiar feeling that you get when u draw your pistol like youve done this before but can't remeber where.
-Cortonna and Durandul are swords.
-SPNKr rocket launcher
-colour coding baddies. Phfor and elites.
-Rampant AIs
-There where BoBs on the PoA

This is off the top of my head so ill come back.

You have provided more examples. But you haven't "enlightened".

I'm not denying that there may be symobls and iterations of the number seven all over the place, my point was why?

If you explain that, then I will consider myself enlightened!

In my opinion there are two possibilites,

(I) There is no tangible reason for the symbols and numbers, they are only there to provide people eho are obsessive with something to do.

or

(II) It is avery deep part of the story and all will be explained in the future.

I'd go with the first one
