New logo, trademark lend credence to Bungie 'Destiny' project

Doing the detective work of any good fansite, HBO.org has turned up more evidence of the rumored "Destiny" MMOFPS in development at Bungie Studios / Bungie Aerospace / whatever Bungie wants to call itself. The site discovered that a company named "Podophobia Entertainment," formed by Bungie head Harold Ryan and music composer Marty O'Donnell, had registered a trademark for "Destiny" with the image seen above. The filing is classified under "Computer game software; Computer game software downloadable from a global computer network; Video game software; Virtual reality game software."

"Destiny" is just the latest in a series of filings by the Halo dev studio, most recently incorporating "Bungie Aerospace" and trademarking "Crimson" for use with "Computer game software downloadable from a global computer network; Computer game software for use on mobile and cellular phones; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices." As you might expect, Bungie has remained quiet on the filings and has yet to respond to our requests for comment.

I see a person throwing his/her arms out and exclaiming, "Hooray!"

@bigdonny

Did you call?

Everyone I know named Destiny is an exotic dancer. Sounds like a project to make stripper poles out of space-age aerospace industry materials.

@Epoque

You know a lot of exotic dancers?

Podophobia is the fear of feet. Wonder what that's all about.

Always looking up? Skyward? Or maybe because in some FPS games the player character has no feet?

bungie has never made a good game who cares

@ORTHROK

Oni, Marathon, and the Myth series says

HELLO!!!!

@ORTHROK

Wow, another Halo hater?

Go back to exclusively playing artsy idie games that no one has ever heard of.

@ItsameMatt03

Clearly you aren't a fan of bungie.

@xiLeShadow
I miss Myth...

@ORTHROK

c'mon dude, get with the program. all the cool kids have moved on to hating on CoD.

MMOFPS.... ummm

why don't I see this coming to consoles??

but who knows, to early to tell. We all know this will most likely come out on Mac and PC due to Bungie's roots and the MMO part of the genre.

@xiLeShadow

"why don't I see this coming to consoles??"

Because you've ignored the fact that their next franchise is multi-platform and they've been hiring up PS3 devs?

@Xcrucio

Who says that project is the same as this project?

Um? They are working on multiple projects....

Anyone else see a ball sack in that picture?

@matthugh Great, now I can't unsee it.

Skynet?

I wonder how the console version will compare to the PC version. I love my Xbox but if the PC version is superior I'd probably get it on there instead.

@Tommy758

Well its an FPS, so mystery solved! :)

@Draugdraugr

That doesn't solve anything... infact now I am even more confused

Pretty confident that the logo is an inverted tea-bagging.

FPS with crouching ability confirmed.

That looks like a Vagina to me.

@arnavdesai
Yeah, I see a uterus with an eye. Perhaps for spotting intruders.

Well that's obviously a handle for a delta faucet...
