David Candland, our UI artiste extraordinaire, asked, “Wouldn’t it be fun to have a Bnet reader design an emblem and include it in the shipping game?” Well wouldn’t it? Of course it would. So we’re going to give one lucky Bnet reader the chance to design an emblem to be emblazoned forever in Halo 3. Below is a template of a typical emblem. The rules are simple:


Your emblem must consist of only two colors.
Your emblem must be able be identified if the secondary portion is toggled off. See below for examples.
Your emblem must look good when it’s tiny.
Your emblem must be original art. Do NOT copy anything. All entries that look remotely like other logos or corporate images will be ejected. Same goes for National flags.
Nothing offensive. Nothing rude, racist, -secks-ual!- or otherwise stupid in nature.






Remember, we’re looking for something cool and original. Maybe your Halo clan has a cool original logo, but this will be used by folks outside of your clan too, so don’t send us something you don’t want others to use. And obvious as this sounds – don’t send us one you made in Halo 2 please. We have those already…


The winner will have their emblem design featured in Halo 3, and we will pick the winner based on purely aesthetic considerations. We will pick the one we deem best suited to appear in the game and if we don’t get one we like, we won’t use one.


Make sure that your examples are 128x128 pixels and in either gif or Jpeg format. Don’t worry if you’re not an artist – we will redraw the winning image anyway, so if it’s not pixel-perfect don’t sweat it.

Send jpegs or gifs, with file sizes NOT to exceed 128k to:

7themes@bungie.com


And if you’re not au fait with Photoshop, Paint or whatever, then simply draw your entry on a piece of paper and send it to:


Emblem Assembly
Bungie Studios
One Microsoft Way
Redmond

i dont do photoshop and i dont like paint
but i love to draw and i love Halo so this is really sweet

time to brainstorm and draw
once the winner is decided, everyone here should post their emblems
but if you post it too early, someone may take your idea

[Hero]

DoX should give it a try! That would be sick!

AutumnR as well...I think if they put time and effort into it their symbols could go far...

[Tattie]

Damn I was hoping to do this, but I cant because I dont live in the US or CANADA.

BOO!

I guess I'll give it a go, sounds pretty cool.

[CANDYYY]

I'm working on one now. That's stupid though you can only submit one. If I make more, anyone wanna claim it as theirs and submit it for me?

[SuperSlayerXXX]

I don't think anyone from here will win. I bet like all gfx sites only know about this and they are like pro. lol But give it a shot.

remember though, it cant be too complex b/c you have to be able to see it on your TV like a 1 milimeter by 1 milimeter
so you have to be able to see it when its small
the GFX guys dont have that much of an advantage besides being able to use photoshop
im pretty sure a lot of people that can draw good actually have a much more advantage over the GFX guys, besides sending it in b/c GFX guys can just e-mail it while the drawers have to mail it or scan it then e-mail it

it basically has to be simple and a cool concept enough to be in Halo 3
and im pretty confident with mine, i just have to pick the right colors to make it more appealing
