Love it. Good work.
A wallpaper section for DBO would be right nice. (Firestream has a few good ones that have been featured on the front page in the past if I recall) The wallpaper section was one of my favorite old HBO pages to frequent back in 2001 with the release of Halo. I still have a soft spot in my heart for the old Phoenix Wallpapers too.
There is a Hard Drive saved somewhere here with my favorite wallpapers, videos, fan inspired music, etc.

Now is as good of a time as any to breach this topic. I have been puzzling over this symbol for a short while. It has appeared in a number of the videos, backgrounds, and "maps". Surely you must have mused over it during your Photochop project?
For a long while Bungie has had a Silent Cartographer in their Studio
Is this some sort of maritime directional device, like that of a compass? A diagram of the Traveler? Marty's infamous spilled coffee, mug ring? Star Wars' Cloud City?

And no Paddy, it is not a Poké Ball :P
