I was wondering what each of these means, so I tried to do a bit of deep thinking. Tell me if I'm wrong;
The Fist
Quote on quote from Wikipedia, "The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a symbol of solidarity and support. It is also used as a salute to express unity, strength, defiance, or resistance." That seems pretty easy to understand. It's supposed to show how we, the Community, have to unify and work together.
The Lightning
This I'm having some trouble with. So lighting is normally something used to show fear (in horror movies) or power. I don't know why Bungie would try to scare us, so I'm assuming it shows power. And also seeing as the Fist is holding the Lightning, I'm assuming it shows that if we, the Community, unify and work together then we will achieve great power.
The 7th Column
This one, although seemingly simple, is actually pretty complicated. It shows 6 rectangles pointing out, with a 7th one that is unconnected and is pointing up. So, does this mean that we (the Community) are the Seventh Column? If so, then it shows that we are the balance and that without us the "structure" would fall. However, one could look at this from a different point of view. They could say that each Column is a specific part of the Community. Something like; our love, criticism, feedback, e.t.c. Yet another possibility is that the 7 rectangles each represent a part of the Plan for World Domination. The last rectangle, which is unattached, could represent the last step that could be completed with our (the Community) help. Pretty complicated.
Yeah, pretty deep. So do you think I'm right, or completely wrong? Feel free to post your own ideas on what each symbol means!
EDIT: Community Thoughts (not mine!)
-Fist is also symbol of Anarchy
-Lightning could hint towards Greek or Norse mythology
-7th Column could show that the Community is the foundation, and Bungie the leader
-Lightning representing immortality
