Halo 3 emblem winner announced

Remember when Bungie Studios held a contest open to everyone who wanted to design an emblem for Halo 3? They finally chose a winner and it’s called “Pirate” by Noah Watkins. The image you’re looking at to the right is exactly the best of the best among all the entries that Bungie got.

Too bad Noah won’t get a free copy of the anticipated game when it finally ships. But that’s okay because he’ll get something money can’t buy. His emblem will be one of those immortalized in the game for everyone to gawk at. He may not have received cash or kind, but the bragging rights have to be through the roof right about now.

Bungie’s UI designer David Candland scanned through hundreds of images, which he says were mostly good. A lot of the emblems looked nice according to him, but certain criteria in terms of detail, color and concept had to be met, making way for the elite to really shine.

Runners-up were Kyle Corcoran, Christoph Lucasssen, David Phillips, Josh Neave, Kelly Highland, Ben (he only gave his first name), B. J. Privette, and Andy McEvoy. Too bad we never got to see their designs.
