OK, so apparently, Omolon is the manufacturer of the Hard Light. But I've noticed something interesting...
There are also a few shotguns that have the same style, colors and even symbols as the Hard Light. Check this out:

Crash Casket 81 : http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150112012456/destinypedia/images/3/3e/CrashCasket81.png
Look at the Hard Light, you'll see the small symbol on it as the one on the shotguns. It's the small white teardrop shape with the circle in it: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141217212816/destinypedia/images/5/55/Hard_Light.jpg
The only difference I've noticed is the small pattern of squares. It's on the Hard Light and a few other weapons, ones which don't have the teardrop or the similar color and design scheme. I'm not sure what the squares are for exactly... Just a design I'm guessing.
So, if Omolon actually makes these weapons, why aren't they Legendary? Also, Why are there no matching Auto Rifles, Machine Guns or Rocket Launchers? I love my Hard Light and I love the matching shotguns, but I'd love to see more from this manufacturer in the same style as it is now. I hope House of Wolves will have something to offer that matches, I'd love to have a matching collection.
I'd also like to see the weapons manufacturers play a more prominent role in Destiny, like they do in Borderlands, where we learn more about them and so forth. Maybe even have their logo and name on the gun screen...

A few months later and it looks like you got your wish. Weapon manufacturers are going to play a more prominent part in the new DLC. I'm excited to see that Omolon makes the Hard Light! I really like their design aesthetics.
-
Well SUROS makes the Regime, yet it also makes rare junk as well
-
the omolon logo is the symbol for the hard light perk.
-
Looks like someone is going to be happy with the new dlc :)
-
Vision of confluence, the raid scout rifle, also has the teardrop symbol.
-
Dam u str8 babygurl
-
They're adding legendary weapons for suros and omolon for the taken king
-
The rare symbol is on a 45 degree angle, the Hardlight on 0 degrees
-
Bro SUROS makes a few rares aside from the regime. Shotguns from what I've seen.
-
I'm really glad to see there are still a couple of sensible topics like this on the forums. Tex Mechanica supposedly made the Last Word. I've also seen the symbol for Daito on the tower which leads me to believe that Daito had a hand in building upon the city.
-
There's a Suros emblem...
-
Its just like. suros or Feizel/Cruz (the made the gally and truth) on the bounty board, when there is a bounty for killing enemies in crucible with a rocket launcher in the description it says something with Feizel/Cruz
-
-
Almost every weapon in the game has that symbol, man. Look at every legendary scout rifle (even crucible and vanguard). It isn't the manufacturing symbol.
-
There's also a rare scout rifle which mentions omolon in its description
-
The Phalanx shields also have the teardrop symbols...

Edited by Ozone14k: 4/15/2015 4:48:52 PMThis is a very interesting topic. I agree with you that I too would love to see the manufacturers play a much more decisive role in the Destiny world, even if they went so far to have vendors for each in the tower where you could buy their weapons and logoed accessories. For some time, I thought too that the distinct tear drop logo was Omolon's signature. But it appears on virtually every scout rifle, and I've now seen it on weapons from totally different manufacturers like Suros: http://planetdestiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1-MRVeJxI.jpg and Nadir: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_qNgoDq1Ix4/maxresdefault.jpg The squares you mentioned I've also seen on two vanguard weapons so far: http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141220222804/destinypedia/images/2/2c/Coiled_Hiss_1919.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KcL8U17yeUI/maxresdefault.jpg I can't seem to find a pattern. What do you all think? So, I have this running theory that the weapons sold by the Vanguard and Crucible Quartermasters are weapons made by these manufacturers and then customized by the Vanguard and Crucible to a certain look and specs. Even if they give them their own name, they are still ultimately a modified version of the manufacturer's original for example: http://desimg.zamimg.com/static/upload/screenshot/resized/1402.jpg?1428439074 http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141224072946/destinypedia/images/f/fc/Do_Gooder_V.jpg Note the strange logo on both of them. Is that the Crucible's signature?
-
You can also buy an emblem from Eva Levante with the same logo. I believe there are other ones as well, like SUROS and Tex Mechanica or whatever
-
Hardlight was made up of better equipment scavenged from the Golden Age and all that junk. Just like Suros Regime was.
-
Do you even realize how many rare suros weapons there are?
-
I just saw another gun with that symbol! I'll get back to you when I find out which gun it was.
-
I get rare weapons called suros all the time. Not the suros i want
-
Good observation. I love the style of those weapons as well.
