Trivia

  • BXR appears in Halo: Reach. The abbreviation is a reference to the button combination which ensures an instant kill.
  • Some civilians in New Alexandria wear shirts that bear the BXR logo.
  • One variation of the BXR logo is that of three colored squares, a blue square on the left, a yellow square on top, and a red square to the right, representing the X, Y, and B buttons, respectively, on a standard Xbox 360 control pad, another obvious reference to the button combination.
  • The shape of the logo seems to be a reference to the chemical sign that is seen on tanker trucks, as it is a group of four side-ways squares inside another, larger square, the exception being that the BXR logo only has three, small squares in a larger one.
