Halo 3 Media Contest
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Sep 22, 2007 8:25am PDT
The multimedia juggernaut of the season, Halo 3 rapidly approaches. Microsoft has commissioned commercials, advertisements, trailers and more, all to make sure you know the third coming of the Master Chief is impending. But couldn't Halo be marketed even better? How about some Cortana lingerie? Or maybe a library decorated with never-ending indentical hallways? Mjolinor armor Underroos? I think we can best MS, so we're going to run a little competition. MS Paint or Photoshop an image that illustrates a better or at least funnier way to market Halo 3 and post it here. You have until Monday to create something; the winner will be announced on Tuesday. For said winner, we will award a copy of Halo 3, a Halo 3 "First to Play" shirt along with another t-shirt, a "First to Play" poster signed by Bungie's Lars Bakken and Joseph Tung, four Halo stickers, and a copy of The Halo Effect. Not the winner? Four runners up will receive a copy of the Halo Effect book. So take your passion for Halo, and market this game. Note: this contest is open to people in North America only.

I kind of got lazy when it came to the background...so I guess I'm stressing on the idea of advertising through an army-type reference. I hope you guys like it.
some press junkets involve going this route so....

I have a few more ideas I'm kicking around. We'll see what comes of it.
The Halo 3 font is called Denmark. I found without much hassle with Google.

The LEGO set for the M808 Scorpion Main Battle Tank:

(400KB / 2537x1879)
I originally had a Warthog I wanted to enter but it wasn't all the same colors and looked like crap. So I decided to put together one for my most favorite vehicle in the Halo Series.
This set took me a little over 3 hours to assemble. I like building Legos a lot and I have built lots of other things in the past ranging from AV-8B Harriers to the SA-23 Starfury from B5.
This is my favorite. The more I worked on this one, the more I wanted one. This would be a whole new line of Home and Garden products which would also feature Spike Grenade Mole Exterminators, Covenant Hover Platform FlowerPots, and a Rocket Launcher style Manure Spreader for Gardens which could also be used as a Potato Gun.

Ok, this would bring in the middle aged lady audience that Bungie needs to tip the scales. This would go a long way in getting exposure.
