The halo of fog surrounding Bungie's mysterious "Bungie Aerospace" logo/trademark grows murkier with the recent discovery of filings in both Washington and Delaware for "Bungie Aerospace Corporation." HBO.org unearthed the Washington state filing, dated April 27 of this year, which notes the company's initial incorporation in business-friendly Delaware state just one week earlier on April 20.
Unlike the Delaware filing, the Washington one lists Bungie president Harold Ryan and head of strategy and corporate development Ondraus Jenkins as "governing persons" of the new for profit business. Rather than mirroring their current roles at Bungie, though, it appears that Ryan will be acting as "director" of Bungie Aerospace Corporation while Jenkins will be acting "president." Also listed is secretary director Allan Parsons, which is either a joke reference to The Alan Parsons Project, or an alternative name for executive producer Pete Parsons, or an outside hire with no Google-logged experience in the game industry (believe us, we tried).
Bungie Studios is currently working with Activision to develop a multiplatform title. Copyright filings and web domain registrations for several names from the summer of 2010 were also discovered earlier this year, though the studio has provided no clues as to what any of the filings mean. Bungie is also planning some form of private beta for a game (or games) that has yet to be announced.

Wow, that's a pretty big article for 'we have absolutely nothing to tell you about what Bungie is going to do next'

Not content to have surpassed id software and Doom in the FPS arena with Halo, Bungie now seeks to challenge Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace in some sort of games industry related space race.

I knew it! Bungie are working on Guitar Hero The Alan Parsons Project. It makes sense if you think about it. Activision need to give Bungie something to do and with CoD already sorted that just leaves GH.
Mystery solved... maybe... Okay honestly, I have no idea.

I get the willies every time I'm reminded that Bungie partnered with Activision for this series.

I hope they make a space vehicle combat game. We really need one. Can we please get away from FPS for just a little while?
Some of the best parts in halo are the vehicles. That could be a whole damn game.

Dude you guys are all wrong. Anyone can clearly see that Bungie is developing a new bungie jumping from space business.

I'm hoping for an Airplane shaped like Master Chief.

I think it's pretty obvious what they're up to. Step 6 of their plan for world domination (bloody coup on parent company) has been completed, so now they're moving on to step 7: "Take over World. Shoot enemies into sun with giant slingshot."
I for one welcome our new Bungie overlords!

"Also listed is secretary director Allan Parsons, which is either a joke reference to The Alan Parsons Project, or "
Or maybe it's a guy named Alan Parsons, because you know, there was one before. It wasn't a made up band name, it was the guys name, with project after it.

I think they were being serious about that world domination thing.
