It began with a simple observation and question: Can the Halo logo be seen on these ships? That was back in August '99.
Ok, so i'm going a little nuts with the photoshop and the new clearer movies, but forgive me. Anyways, i caught a really nice shot of the covenant
logo on one of the fly-cycles in the movie and i did a bit of extrapolation and tried to make a 2d version of the logo in black and white.

What is that in there? a ship? a dagger? You tell me, i just work here.

Well, yesterday Bravehamster posted some thoughts on the Covenant logo shown on the scooters, here.
(I'm posting this to a new thread because that one's nearly off the forum... if that link doesn't work, try here.)
According to the Marathon's Story page, Joshua Inglima did his own analysis of the logo, and came up with this.
However, having seen the November issue of Computer Gaming World, I think they're both wrong... it is the Halo "O". (My scanner is currently
offline, so the best I can do is point you to Noctavis' scan of the image in question, which, while good, wasn't done with the intention of highlighting
this image... so if anyone still disbelieves, I'll do my best to rescan.) You can check his image out here. The image on the second concept drawing is
clearly (well, in the original it's clear) the Halo "O", and it can be seen again in its fuzzy form in the screenshot directly below the concept drawing.

Well, after spending about an hour staring at the "Covenant" logo on the crafts, I decided
to try to reproduce it in Photoshop.
Back to our Forums and our very own Louis Wu made this observation:

The supposed symbol on the Alien craft can be better seen on the chase craft just before the Aliens jump on them.
A recent GameSpot UK Halo preview provided us with these
two screenshots showing very clear views of the Covenant logo.
Take a look at the stylised Covenant logo above and then compare it with the logo at
