    I submitted an emblem to the Halo: Reach emblem contest, as I'm sure many others did, but it didn't even place! This surprises me a bit, because I thought it was well made alongside the winners. Thoughts? Help my dignity?

    EDIT: It's supposed to be a test tube, but looking back.. if they thought it was a phallic symbol.... >:C

    Personally I thought it was a sweet emblem and knew straight off that it was a test tube, not a phallic symbol :lol: End of the day though, like he says, it was just decided on his opinion.

    That emblem is actually really cool but I still reckon the "Cawned" emblem should have won.

    You should've made your emblem a doctor mario pill.

    I do like your emblem, but the X behind it seems more like a background instead of part of the emblem. It doesn't seem necessary. Also, I bet that there could be a million sexual emblems made from it. It isn't if it looks like a phallic symbol, it is if a phallic symbol could be made easily that makes the submission void.

    Also, I doubt that Bungie checked every emblem submitted, they probably only selected from a random group.

    The test tube alone looks cool, so I would have just done that and removed the X part behind it. Notice the two first place ones are quite simple. And as loscocco said they probably prefer to minimize the possible number of sexual emblems.

    Yeah it looks vaguely phallic. I submitted some great ones, including two crossed katanas and a grifball guy. Its unfortunate i didnt win either :(
