Interesting Notes:
- Asklon appears to be the only corporation with accessible buildings. Levels with open buildings or other interior spaces related to Asklon: Mombasa Streets, Tayari Plaza, Kizingo Boulevard, Kikowani Station, Coastal Highway.
- There is a Jotun building with NMPD and UNSC banners above the front entrance.
-
Oooooh... those are niiice! Thanks, Apollo! We'll get 'em in the Gallery. The queue is a bit backed up atm, but they will get in there!
-
Have we seen a better version of the Optican one?(it's sideways for some reason?)
It looks as if there may be words or code between the two parts.(Is that the reason? Or is that one in the game like that?)
-
Thanks to the Arkive Task Force, the images have been transmitted into new Companies Sub-Album (http://www.gruntspajamas.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=542).
-
The Optican, Hinos and Jotun logos were taken from the side of their corporate buildings instead of from posters/ads.
There's two great posters for Asklon also. One of them has a list of cities, presumably their major headquarters. The other has a picture of the earth and a caption that says "Destiny Awaits". They appear in several interior spaces but I forget where at the moment.
The cities on the poster are: Dusar, Nairobi, Chiba, Pelion, Crisium, Seven Hills, Essex Jct, Sydney, Chicago
-
Thanks for clarifying the shooting locations of some of those. I'll update the gallery.
The location of the Asklon logo sign is through the door just east of the Supply Cache in D04. I've passed through there way too much.
The "destiny awaits" poster... if it's the one I'm thinking of... is above the infamous "Glyph Unlock" door in D08. You see it in the daytime if you use this area for sniping during the Tayari Plaza campaign. It shows a line graph rising into infinity. Is that the one you were describing?
I think the list of cities sign is in the first building you enter in D05... the building with the Dare's Helmet clue item.
This is all from memory, so please forgive me if I'm in error. I'm heading straight for bed after this.
I hope.
-
On the Tayari Plaza level, you can find the Nomolos Refining banner. It's on the right hand side of the road coming up on the infamous District 6 glitch area.
I took a pic: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=96785127 (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=96785127)
I've only been able to find it on this level, not in MS.
-
I noticed you don't have one that I think has some importance. I believe it is an advertisement for the train stations. It says in the middle "Relax, you right on time". I have noticed also that some of these posters change. It might be timed or random, but it does seem that the "relax" poster appears while the super tri-glyph is activated. Also not sure if thats what it says exactly, but it's close. Also noticed that the "relax" sign often appears when the "BELIEVE" graffiti is activated. Could these be linked to the other electronic 'screens' that say "connection lost"?

These two posters are usually found as a pair, either down the hallway from each other or in facing hallways (as in the Crater and Crater-clone rooms where you spawn for FF)

Aha! I had totally forgotten about that sign. I was originally just looking for corporate signs and logos but I'll throw in municipal and UNSC recruitment posters also.
-
Maybe the UNSC recruitment kiosks as well?

Im sure someone probably has already posted this. The only thing I could really read was: "seized by reinforcements new keys for order Kaiser flees to"

Also I didn't see anyone post this.

"Ousted Kaiser Flees to Holland"
Thanks for the photos!
:)

As I've been traveling through the city I've noted that the most ubiquitous signage is from Asklon. It occurred to me today that I didn't recall entering any buildings that were not Asklon Buildings in any of the missions. Excluding NMPD, ONI and if you count Uplift Reserve as property of New Mombasa Uplift. With this in mind I began to wander the streets to all the buildings I remembered entering.
I looked enough to find 5 open buildings on MS, they're shown on the map below. Each building contained at least the 2 basic Asklon posters, some contained monitors showing the Asklon logo or Asklon graph poster reaching infinity.

Update:
Added HuCiv, Nomolos Refining, Sinoviet, Atlas Communications Corp., and an unknown Corp.
-
I took the liberty of updating the spelling of "Traxis" to "Traxus." :) Thanks for keeping this updated!!! I need to catch up with gallery photos. Sinoviet's name appears on a tanker truck in CM:TP. I'll have to look and see if it is there in MS as well.
-
I noticed yesterday while replaying the game from the begining that after you exit your pod and make your way to the first building painted with the glyphs that the Uplift mailbox to the right of the door is Upside down. I replayed the game on easy and this is the only mailbox in the game so far that is upside down.
-
Damn, I was just going to talk about it. But upside-down? DIdn't notice that, I think that the logo was rigth and all (Screenshot pending).
-
Nice find, John! Looking forward to Impaa's snapshot for proof. I have to catch up on posts and then crash, unfortunately.
-
...It's Imppa, CG, not Impaa :(
Aaanyway, john was right, the Mailbox near the cache is upside-down. Here's some pics:
Mailbox (upside-down) (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=98777626)
NM Post logo (upside-down) (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=98777561)
I alsoo took pics of a regular mailbox and -logo in case you want to compare them
NM Post logo (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=98777704)
Mailbox (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=98777714)
It's nice to know that people still use letters in 26th century :).
Oh and some other stuff: "Mainz Traiger" is not "Traiger", it's "Träger". The link in OP was also bad, here's another if you Apollo can't fix it:
Mainz Träger banner (http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=98777438)
"Mainz" Is a city in Germany, and "Träger" is also German, meaning something like "lazier". Pretty weird, wonder what it means? Is it even a company, or is it perhaps some sort of sports team ?(the banner seems suitable for one)
"Mainz - Lazier"...
-
Oops... sorry, Imppa! It was almost 3am and I was nearly asleep when I wrote that!
Thank you for the images! I'll try get them in the gallery as soon as I am able. Busy, busy night!
"Träger" actually doesn't mean "lazy"... you've confused that with the adjective träge. Träger is a noun meaning "carrier" or "supporter". I believe Apollo spotted a tanker truck with the Mainz Träger name written across its length, much like similar trucks bearing the company names of Traxus and Sinoviet.
So I think the meaning is something more along the lines of what we might call "Mainz Logistics Corporation".
-
Ooh... Well, we all make mistakes. Expecially my free internet-dictionary. :)
So it seems like a normal NM company along the others, expect it has a german origin. Yay.
Maybe we should get back to the upside-down Mailbox? What's the big deal? I think we can agree BUngie rarely makes something that does'nt make any sense, so what's the idea in this box? Some covenant or Citizen could no have just flipped it, because it's infact inside the wall... ???
By the way, john, why made you think that it's Uplift Mailbox? The logo, perhaps? Or do you have some info to share?
-
I just assumed that the uplift took the mail up too. ;D
Seriously though I have no idea why I thought uplift was responsible for mail, except that there are several different banners for Up-lift and I thought I saw one refrencing mail service. (Don't go qouting me yet I'm going to have to find that banner again.)
And.. I tend to agree that its very unusual for Bungie to make a mistakeof this type, especially considering I have methodically checked every mailbox I could find and all the rest are properly oriented.
-
Actually thanks to the galleries on this forum I found the banner it says New Mombasa Uplift "taking your packages to new heights"

-
Fixed a lot of broken (old) and just plain messed up links. Also, I believe the "Unknown Corporation Wing" is Misriah Armory.
EDIT: I believe I have found a new company, "Fueder Construction". You can see their building while looking East-Northeast from the 93 building Dutch looks at at the end of Uplift reserve in District 9. Screenshots may be incoming, hopefully.
EDIT2: Nope. I'm behind on Bungie dropping Halo support :(
But I did find this image on Halo nation. It appears to be from the other side.
