:I agree, we should get a symbol/flag for the main image ASAP as a counterpart to how the UNSC article uses a symbol. Preferably, we'll have confirmation on it first, maybe when H5 comes out? The dark and grainy Halo Wars images just doesn't cut it - especially since only Elites and Banshees are represented. (I took the liberty of turning The Master Builder's image into a thumb so it doesn't obliterate the screen.)--[[File:1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gif|20px]][[User:Ender the Xenocide|<font color="Gray">Ender the Xenocide]]</font>[[File:1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gif|20px]] 15:05, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

::If the Halo Wars is too grainy and outdated, lets use Halo 2 Anniversary's Covenant depiction. Have a scene from the Arbiter's trial. It shows the Hierarch's (Covenant Leaders) the Councillors (Elites), the Prophets, Brutes, and the leadership and a meeting room. However this symbol has only been shown in the games to depict the post-war Covenant. It only depicts the Original Covenant in fleet battles wich does not work as Fleet Battles is a third party board game, and is a lower hierarchy than Halo 1-3. Thus Halo 1-3 (including anniversary)'s depiction of the Covenant is more accurate.

::The image TMB proposed is currently a photoshoped recreation and not the actual thing, besides I agree with Tucker, the current image conveys the power of the former covenant, use it for Jul's covenant. One more thing, how do we know it means Covenant? it could mean For Victory.[[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] ([[User talk:Alertfiend|talk]]) 18:48, 9 September 2015 (EDT)

:::I don't really see how the current image is good in any way as a representative for the Covenant. The variety and massiveness of the Covenant is what actually conveys their power. Additionally, the Covenant aren't just a military entity, so we shouldn't just show that side either way. And no, it should not be used for Jul since this image is pre-Jul, pre-H4, pre-343. It's so far removed from Jul's covenant in many ways. If you want to represent Jul's covenant, then simply use pictures of Jul's covenant. As for the recreation, I agree. We need confirmation before using it. I'll try to ask a community rep soon.--[[File:1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gif|20px]][[User:Ender the Xenocide|<font color="Gray">Ender the Xenocide]]</font>[[File:1221751884 I-animated-this-for-you.gif|20px]] 12:44, 22 September 2015 (EDT)

:I'm not sure how that's agreeing with me when I said I ''don't'' like the picture. A better one would show more of the Covenant species and perhaps even their starships.
