Shortly after Destiny was officially revealed, DeeJ changed his avatar from his trusty revolver to a mysterious symbol that featured many black squared arranged into an Octagon Pattern. We were able to link his Avatar to the Character Select Scene from the Vidoc (pictured on the right), but today when I was rewatching the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKOY8zJx2Q4]Destiny Character Development[/url] video, I noticed DeeJ's symbol again, this time on the magazines of the Hunter's and the Warlock's Rifles. More importantly, the symbol was accompanied by the word "FOTC", a word we had previously seen on rifles, and presumably they are a weapons producer in the Destiny Universe.
It's pretty minor, but I'd thought I'd point it out.

[url=http://www.bungie.net/7_What-is-FOTC/en-us/Forum/Post?id=59882217]Violet[/url] also drew a connection between DeeJ's avatar and FOTC a while back, and that speculation is proven convincingly with these newest screens.[/quote]

Edited by Oddball: 3/30/2013 1:47:53 AMThanks for the mention :p I had an idea that I touched on briefly in another thread; what if what we see here is the product of some sort of Logo Creation Tool? As you can see in Deej's emblem, there would be a 7 by 7 grid of dots. You can toggle these dots to be black, white or invisible, for instance you can see that Deej has the outermost 3 dots of each corner invisible and his centre dot white. You can then apply this logo to your gun, it might also explain why we saw it in the character selection scene. As for the FOTC, could this be a four character service tag, the likes of which we have seen previously in ODST? Just a bit of wild speculation of course, but I think it would be cool to have a unified emblem across bungie.net, the game interface and in the actual gameworld itself. Edit: I forgot to mention, Hylebos, nice Paint skills :p
