I think the question of the site getting a new logo came up back when we were discussing the new site background, but there was never a consensus about it (that I know of, anyway). Now that Halo 4 is approaching and we have good images of the newest iteration of the Chief, I think it might be time to update our site logo.

I'm not sure about others, but I always saw the current HCE/Anniversary logo as a temporary one that we used due to the ten-year celebration of the first game, but it's not exactly something we'd want to keep forever. By now, the focus has already shifted on Halo 4 and the Reclaimer Trilogy, so updating our logo accordingly seems like a good idea. It's not just for the sake of novelty, but I believe the logo should be something more iconic and persistent than an image showing the difference between a game and its graphical remake. Moreover, it might serve well to reflect what the Halo franchise itself is going through; from Bungie's Halo 3 to the transitory stage and finally, 343's Halo 4 and the upcoming trilogy. It's like poetry, so that they rhyme...

Luckily, I noticed Soul reaper has already uploaded a few images which seem like good candidates for a new logo. Out of his versions, I prefer this one this one, as it seems to best mirror our earlier Halo 3 logo. There's also one which is darker but might do the job, and a couple of others; this, and this one which are more radical departures from the original formula.

I'd just like to see what people think about this. Should we keep the current logo or move on to a new one? If so, which one, or none of the ones we currently have? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 01:13, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm just going to put up a gallery section according to your list. I like the third one the best, but I think we could request Soul Reaper to make a new logo with this image, which is somewhat brighter than the others. —S331 _{(COM • Mission Log • Profile)} 01:57, 23 April 2012 (EDT)

I really like the idea of using all three, and randomising which one is displayed with each refresh of the page. Why do we have to choose? -- Specops306 ^Autocrat ^{Qur'a 'Morhek} 06:17, 23 April 2012 (EDT)
