[SPEC] Logo 3 * 7 = 21

I haven't seen this anywhere, and a Search for this will get too many hits.

Ok, there is a box logo with a circle around it and it has a digit 3. THere are three facdes of this cube showing.

Additionally, on the Academy Logo there are more of these cubes in a pattern. There are 21 faces = 7 Cubes * 3 faces each.

My thought is that there are two groups of words on the logo.

1) The Latin phrase is three words
2) The Academy 'members' total 7

3 * 7 = 21, which is the same number of cubes and faces in the logo.

Has this occured to anyone else and if so where mught that thread be???

Muchos Gracias !

It seems certain to me, but yes, without a smoking gun it should go under spec.

I would be tempted to say that this is just conicidence, but...

Who knows what's going on in this ARG! Though, if I'm not wrong, isn't 3 and 7 the tolken numbers?

No. Wait. 3 and 7 is Bungie. 3 and 9 is Tolken. Hrm. I doubt Bungie's starting their next ARG already.

Anyone else know what significance to anything 3, 7, or 21 might have?

I must defer to those who recognize the buildings, but no one can verify any of the buildings beyond shape and approximation of location.

The picture may be a composite of multiple skylines to remain a fictional place. It may mean Dawn or Setting of an 'age' (AC & BC)

I think we're screwed until the last newspaper advert clues us in.

I dont think its a composite of images but a skyline of a UK city (I say UK because some of the buildings blacked out look very victorian) the problem lies in how similar UK cities look Crying or Very sad

How are you getting 7 cubes? I see either 10 cubes or 4, depending on how side-less a cube has to be to counted as a cube. Confused

Here's the picture to which I refer. I think you can make out 7 cubes here.

There are other pics of a single cube, the three faces are green, blue and red. In one version a circle surrounds this with a numeral 3 next to it. In another, the 3 is on once of the faces of the single cube.

Someone is using it as an avtar - you'll see it.

Alright, but where is it in-game?

Right, so you're talking about the Academy logo here with the names and quaerere initium sapientiae around it....

OK, I have no idea what you're talking about here Confused I don't see anything patching this description in pp7.jpg and I don't recall anything elsewhere on the sites either. Could you point us in the right direction please Smile

EDIT: Ahhh, Alex's avatar - see below.....

it's the avatar for a poster (sasun? can't remember) it was a custom designed logo for the arg itself which has mixed acceptance... there's a thread discussing logo ideas and which to use, but I'm too lazy to search... Razz

That's Alex Smith's avatar. Not in-game as far as I'm aware.

Oh Guffaw! I am a three day noobie and did find that image early on - there were two versions of his logo and in my ignorance I filed them away hastily into my brain. I have created a herring and I apologize for wasting your collective and individual time. Moving forward Wink

I too think there is only 1 cube, but I wanted to point out the parallel between the number of faces and cubes compared to the Latin and Name words. Three and seven respectively. Symmetry stands out is all . . .

If we think Zeller Cube, Taversen Square, there could be other solids or polygons, segments or points involved. This is a logical progression.

To pun further a 'point' can be a geographical place. Lighthouse Point for example, or Carrick Point, to get speculative.

Oh, I also PMd the onellivewire person (Kristen) to see if she would send one of the postcards to my place of work so we could get a TIFF scan. I told her I wouldn't steal it - but also recogniize it's a leap of faith for her to do this
.
I'm juiced for more googling.

Bank Note # . . . "959" . . .

On the image of the 50 Pound note there is a portion of the serial number "959". To me it looked like a badge number. I emailed Sente with that in the Subject line. I got the usual autoresponder but it took a few minutes. I tried again and it was returned in 10 seconds.
