Subject: The geometric symbols appear on the new shirts. indication of intent?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I got my Dead Orbit T-shirt and on it was one of the seven symbols.

I think that each shirt has a corresponding symbol that could possibly give us insight as to the role whatever that symbol stands for plays in the game.

That is the geomantic symbol for Rubeus, latin for Red. It is a upside down chalice (glass) that means good in all that is evil and evil in all that is good.

Do you like Yax? I do.

I just checked and my FWC and New Monarchy shirts have the same symbol.

My name is John and you will mostly find me on halo 3 so just hit me up if you want to play.

Good catch

Really? I wonder if people got other symbols, why would Bungie put that specific symbol there?

It clearly means that the 6 Geomantic Symbols each represent a different pillar of the Destiny Universe society, this one representing the factions or separation.

How did you not get this, ken?

I know but I am trying to see what symbols are for what shirt. Based on what the Geometric symbols mean we can try and piece together the intent or part of the story each "faction" or whatever symbol means.

I mean I know what you are trying to say. All the symbols on the shirts have some significance on them and having it appear on the shirt means something.

No. I'm saying that the one symbol appearing on all the shirts means something. That something is that it's the symbol that represent factions in the Destiny Society.

Here are the meanings of all the Geomantic figures Bungie realeased as avatars.

Via
Latin for "the Way". The figure resembles a road or path. It is considered bad of most things, but good with concerns of roads, travels, or journeys.

Laetitia
Latin for "Joy". The figure resembles an arch, fountain, or rainbow. It is good in situations that concern potential, joy, or happiness.

Rubeus
Latin for "Red". The figure is an overturned glass; an inversion, meaning good in all that is evil, and evil in all that is good. Like the Tail of the Dragon, the figure is considered so unfavourable that if it were the first in a reading, the reading would end.

Fortuna Minor
Latin for "the Lesser Fortune". The figure is symbolic of success coming down like beams of light from the Sun.

Amissio
Latin for "Loss". The figure is of two bowls or cups turned upside-down.

Carcer
Latin for "the Prison". The figure is the outline of an enclosure, a link in a chain, or prison cell. It is usually bad in situations and denotes delays, setbacks, or bindings.

Conjunctio
Latin for "the Conjunction". The figure resembles a crossroads or joining of two figures. The sign is neutral in meaning (good in good things, evil in evil), but good with joining or recovering things, especially marriage or relationships.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

It's not on the Lab Rat shirt.

Rubeus is also associated with passion. Anybody on these forums and bought a shirt can definitely be described as passionate about Bungie and their games.

It is also associated with war and conflict which lends more support to separate, competing factions.

I'm still waiting for my shirts Ken. Stop rubbing it in.

And my Dead Orbit Shirt also has the same symbol. I imagine all the shirts have this symbol on it.

*high fives*

Also: If the symbol is Rubeus, that only makes me think of Rubeus Hagrid, which confirms that Destiny is a Harry Potter MMO.
