: I know with all the glyph stuff this may be a bit random... but its just too
: cool not to post: I was browsing through the database at symbols.com when
: I came across this: http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/20/206.html

: look familiar? What's *very* interesting is this is a symbol for Pluto-
: didn't Marathon's original plot involve a mission to Pluto? Maybe Bungie
: got the Mara-logo way back when Marathon was first started... they look up
: the symbol for Pluto (the then-setting of Marathon) add a line and volia!
: the darling little symbol we all know and love...

Aye. One early backstory was set on a hollowed-out asteroid near the planet Pluto. See the link below for a report of Marathon at Macworld Expo San Francisco Jan '94.

Interesting find thanks.

Cheers
