Hinos is a company in New Mombasa.  Here are the images in our image gallery and here is more info from the haloped.  We had discussed Hinos before on here, but I should have provided more background.  Sorry!

I can't remember the exact location at the moment, but you can see the images in the gallery, link directly above in my response to Monx.

Now I need to watch FMJ!

Like other Kubrick films, it gets under your skin.  For me, the music esp. (as featured at the beginning of the video linked in the OP).

Hino appears to be a manufacturer of big diesel trucks/buses/chassis, Australian I assume, Japanese it seems.  So if you had multiple Hinos, you would have Hinos....so yea! :laugh:  Though according to the haloped, Hinos products, whatever they may be, appear to be small enough to be sold in a store with other products.  It does look water-related.  As for colors, Night, green and white in the film (Hynos), blue and white on grey in-game (Hinos).  I haven't researched every occurrence in film though to guarantee that the color scheme is consistent.

Update @Night:  The Hinos letters are black with a red dot over the 'i' on the Oh2-Hnzu store sign.  See haloped.

The link brings me to here http:/// which ofcourse is nothing. Ill find it in the gallery and fix the link in this post.

EDIT: fixed it in the quote. Shows both HINOS pics.

Halopedia info:

 ■The company may be a parody of the present day NOS drink, as the company's logo makes the impression that it deals drinks or water in some way.
■The Hinos logo can be found on one of the buildings in the Halo:Reach level New Alexandria.

The Arkaeologist:
@Nade:  Fixed above as well.  I was doing too many links too fast....apparently!  Thanks, Nader!

Yup, I saw that and it does look water-related.  Could be all it is.  What a coincidence since we know they're FMJ fans.  But I'm sort of into going with the most light-hearted explanation these days! (Bungie employee:  It is 2 a.m. and I need five corporate-y-sounding names by morning.  (Glances at desk and history is made!))  Still think it's possible though.... @:

Ark likes making Bungies more profound than they are.
