What the?!
Nobody told me about those.

ORIGINAL POST
Or Greek (if you include the blank version).
Classical Latin

If you include the blank letter, there's 24 variations of layouts. (Greek)
However if you exclude it there are only 23 variations. (Classical Latin)

We were given 7 of them (check the most recent page of available avatars).
If you combine them with each other you get 23 versions.

Here's the alphabet.
Oh, and the number of squares in each of the avatar letters adds up to 42.
That could be completely irrelevant, I've no idea.

'Destiny' has 7 letters; there are 7 avatars. It could spell Destiny.

Possibly unnecessarily complex developments;
Green on Red
Red on Green
Number system template


Because the letters are all vertically symmetrical, the number system must counteract this symmetry or letters will share values.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

Possibly, nice find!

I don't know if someone has discovered this or not, But I took the number of highlighted squares and simply looked them up on the ASCII chart. Here is what I got:
1 had 4 highlighted squares
2 had 7 highlighted squares
4 had 6 highlighted squares

6 = acknowledge
7 = bell
4 = end of transmission

The only thing that i can think of with this little theory I *may* have created could be a message that may be similiar along the lines of:

Can you acknowledge? Bell, do you acknowledge? Do you acknowledge Bell? Please acknowledge. *end of transmission*

I've tried to implement at least 7 number systems for the positioning of the squares, but it doesn't work. Somehow each of the squares determine a possible letter depending on where they are. Eventually I managed to get a working system, but then the combined letters break it.

I'll find a way. Also, I have produced another alphabet based on the given letters being placed on combined letters from the original image, and a red on green alphabet.

Here's the number system testing ground I use.

Bell would make a good name for an AI, maybe in destiny?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Well, you definitely confused me.

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

I thought we'd settled on them being these?

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

Where did you find this and how long did it take you? And that is super awesome find!

That seriously sucks. I thought I was onto something much more complex than already-made symbols.

It's Bungie, for all we know, there may be multiple secrets behind these few little symbols.
