'''Emblems''', first introduced in ''[[Halo 2]]'', are small designs that are associated with a character profile and used to represent a player's identity in [[multiplayer]] games and online play. They consist of a two-colored design or pattern overlaid upon a background (typically a geometric shape), with a user-selected color scheme applied to the result. The feature was later carried on into ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.

In ''Halo 2'', when a character profile is created, there is an option to make an '''emblem''' for the player's in-game avatar. Emblems are the primary means of identifying players in multiplayer games and online play; they also appear in the game type [[Territories]], where they are displayed on the flags that denote captured territories.  In-game, a simplified version of a player's emblem can be seen glowing on their back and shoulders.

The primary and secondary emblem colors are selected directly in the options menu. Unlike subsequent games, the two colors of the emblem background are determined by the primary and secondary armor colors. Also unique is that all emblems in ''Halo 2'' are displayed with a complete secondary background, resulting in a square image. In subsequent games, the secondary background is transparent.

There are 64 emblems and 32 backgrounds, allowing 2048 basic combinations. With 18 different color options for each of the four elements of the emblem, there are more than 204 million possible emblems.{{Ref/Note|1=One of the backgrounds is "Solid", which eliminates one colour option; therefore total options are: (64*1*18*18*18)+(64*31*18*18*18*18)=204,645,632. These calculations do not account for emblems in which the same image is achieved despite different options due to overlapping of the same colors.}}

Emblems in ''Halo 3'' are less prominent than they were in ''Halo 2''; in ''Halo 3'', a [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan]] player's emblem is only shown on their right shoulder, whereas in ''Halo 2'', it could be seen on both shoulders and the player's back. [[Elite]] players' emblems are shown on their right shoulder and upper back. Emblems are no longer used to uniquely identify a player; that job has been taken on by a new, user-customizable call sign composed of a letter followed by two digits.

The 80 primary emblem designs, the 80 "toggles" of those designs, and the 48 possible emblem backgrounds allow for a combined total of 7,680 basic emblem possibilities in ''Halo 3''. Taking the 30 options for primary, secondary and background color into account, the number of possible emblems exceeds 104 million.{{Ref/Note|1=Due to one "Blank" background, total options calculated at: (80*1*30*30)+(80*47*30*30*30)+(80*1*30)+(80*47*30*30)=104,978,400}}

Emblems are also featured in ''Halo 3: ODST's'' [[Firefight]] mode. All emblem designs from ''Halo 3'' are available save for one, along with 17 new emblems and four new backgrounds, bringing the total to 96 and 52 respectively. The only emblem which does not return from ''Halo 3'' is "OhNoUDnt", which is replaced by the similar but distinct "Peaceafist".

Emblems are far less prominent on player armor in ''Halo: Reach'' than in previous games. Very small emblems appear on the upper right side of the player's chest piece; a UNSC logo is found in a similar position on the left side of the chest piece. In addition, some of the unlockable chest pieces obscure the emblem entirely. ''Halo: Reach'' also marks the first appearance of emblems in campaign, being found on the player-customized [[SPARTAN-B312]]. The emblems are not present on Elite armor variants. Emblems only appear on player armor in campaign and Firefight; they are not visible in multiplayer.

''Halo 4'' features a total of 109 emblem foregrounds (of these only 37 return from ''Halo: Reach''). Three more return after being absent in ''Reach'' (ONI, Snake, and Cube [now called Ordnance]). The remaining 69 emblems are all new. Emblems are once again displayed on the shoulder pauldron, though now on the left side. The game has 50 emblem backgrounds.

''Halo 4'' is the first Halo title that requires emblems to be unlocked before they can be used.  The Recruit emblem is unlocked by default. Ten emblems are unlocked at SR-4, ten more at SR-19, ten at SR-28, and eight at SR-36; with one each at SR-50 and SR-130. Each of the [[Specializations]] unlock four emblems each. The remaining emblems are unlocked by through in-game activities such as [[commendations]], as well as through the [[Halo Waypoint Classified]] feature. Because of the reliance on commendations and [[Halo Waypoint]], emblems cannot be unlocked offline, even for single-player activities such as campaign.

Five emblems and backgrounds were originally offered only as exclusive emblems for players who pre-ordered the game from specific retailers.<ref>[http://www.halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/05/30/The-Halo-Bulletin-53012.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' ''The Halo Bulletin: 5.30.12'']</ref> The [[Halo 4 Limited Edition|''Halo 4'' Limited Edition]], [[Xbox 360#Halo-themed editions|''Halo 4'' Limited Edition Console]], and [[War Games]] Map Pass also each come with an exclusive emblem and background. Eight of the nine emblems were later included with the [[Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition|''Halo 4'' Game of the Year Edition]]. The "Unicorn" emblem and "Fotus" background, exclusive to the console version, was not included. More emblems were exclusive to the Xbox Live 12+1 Month Gold Subscription and the app ''[[Halo 4: King of the Hill Fueled by Mountain Dew]]'', though they were later made available via the GOTY edition.

There are 30 actual color options for both the primary, secondary, and background elements of each emblem. Toggling of emblems this time takes the form of the 31st "Transparent" option, which allows players to toggle off any element of any emblem.

When the ''Collection'' was first released, emblems appeared in the matchmaking lobby and post-game menu and on a player's scoring HUD in campaign, but otherwise did not appear in gameplay. In ''Halo 2'' classic multiplayer the "Bullseye" emblem was used for all players in the in-game scoreboard and as their player identifier. In ''Halo 3'' the "Grunt" emblem was displayed in the scoreboard, and also appeared on all players' armor; in all other games the players' armor remained blank. In ''Halo 4'' the scoreboard assigned all players the "Recruit" emblem (interestingly, the only emblem from the original ''Halo 4'' not available to players in ''The Master Chief Collection''). By design, emblems did not appear at all in ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' multiplayer matches. This was updated in 2019 so that the player's emblem is displayed in all in-game scoreboards and as the identifier image in ''Halo 2''. The armor remained blank in ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' and ''Halo 4''; it displayed a random emblem in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach''. Another update in 2020 resulted in emblems being displayed on players' armor in ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 4'', ''Halo 3: ODST'', and ''Halo: Reach''; it remained blank in the other games.

An additional update in December 2022 added in-game emblems to ''Halo 2'', in an even greater role than in the original game. Players' MCC emblems now appear on their armor, in full color as with other games in the collection, rather than the simplified glowing emblem seen in the original game.
 
A new gametype option was also added to ''Halo 2'' [[Capture the Flag]] [[custom game]]s that displays the emblem of the player with the most kills on their team on their team's flag. In Neutral Flag, it is the emblem of the player with the most kills out of all teams. The option is not enabled in [[matchmaking]]. According to [[343 Industries]], this CTF emblem behavior was originally prototyped during the development of original ''Halo 2'', but was incomplete and ultimately cut from the game.

Of the 294 emblems, only 70 return from previous games; the remaining 224 are new.

At launch and until the release of Hammer Storm, players could not choose the individual colors of the emblem. Instead, players had to choose from one of 33 colors, and then one of seven styles ("Sporty", "Elite", "Classic", "Muted", "Contrast", "Analagous", or "Inverse") which was a pre-set color combination (or "harmony"<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/hammer-storm-preview '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo Community Update: Hammer Storm Preview'']</ref>) for the emblem.

Following the release of Hammer Storm, players can once again choose individual primary, secondary and tertiary colors for their emblem, just as they have in previous instalments. In addition, the number of colors was increased from 33 to 60. This change exponentially increased the number of possible emblems, however the continued absence of backgrounds and toggling means that the total of 63,504,000 possible emblems{{Ref/Note|1=294*60*60*60=63,504,000}} remains the lowest of any emblem-featuring ''Halo'' game until ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.

As in ''Halo 4'', emblems must be unlocked before they can be used. The "117" and "Helmet" emblems are unlocked by default. Additional emblems are unlocked with [[Requisition system|REQ packs]]; some are included with specific packs awarded for achieving ranks and completing [[commendations]], while others are awarded randomly.

Emblems rarely appear in their complete form in ''Halo 5: Guardians''; instead each emblem is featured a cropped rectangular image which is also incorporated into a [[nameplate]]. The rectangular image is used to identify each player in matchmaking lobbies. Emblems do not appear on players' armor.

== ''Halo Infinite'' ==
{{Main|Emblems and Nameplates (Halo Infinite)}}
Emblems return in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' as preset designs that may be unlocked and applied to [[armor customization (Halo Infinite)|chest armor]], and the player's [[nameplates|nameplate]] . Additionally, emblems may also be individually applied to each customizable [[weapon customization|weapon]] and [[vehicle customization|vehicle]]. Players are now free to equip any emblem of their choosing on weapons, vehicles and armor cores, rather than being limited to a single emblem like in previous titles.
However, players can no longer choose their own colors for an emblem. Instead, each emblem has a unique set of color palettes which can be used to adjust its color scheme. Since emblems are categorized by nameplate, armor, weapon and vehicle, they are treated as separate unlockable items. This means that unlocking a nameplate emblem, for example, will not necessarily reward the vehicle emblem as well. However, the same emblem in other categories will typically always be unlockable via the same process (i.e. through a [[Battle Pass]], [[Shop Bundles|store bundle]], campaign etc.).
Players' emblems in the multiplayer scoreboard are determined by the Nameplate chosen in the player's Spartan ID. These background designs are unique to the equipped emblem, and may be customized via the color palettes available for that nameplate.
