Possible Destiny Easter Eggs in Reach?

I was playing through the Reach campaign today, and noticed all of these strange posters. I'm sure I've seen them before, but the style that they are presented in seems eerily similar to the posters that Bungie used to reveal the 5 enemy races at the GDC presentation. I wouldn't be surprised if the posters have been addressed before, but I imagine that they were thought of the same way we thought of the "Destiny Awaits" poster in ODST, prior to the reveal of Destiny. Keep in mind though, these could be more cryptic. I think if we all reassess these, we may find something interesting. Here are the posters: [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/reach_posters_photo-01-197x300.jpg[/url] [spoiler]I've noticed on this first one that the logo on the bottom right has 5 squares. A number that reoccurs throughout these posters. When people first saw this, it was assumed to represent "One Man Army", referring to Chief. I think this could be related to Destiny. Also, the red figure is the 34th. 3+4=7! [/spoiler] [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/reach_posters_photo-02.jpg[/url] [spoiler]On this second one there is a wave or M through the houses with 5 vertices. The pentagonal houses also have 5 vertices if you don't count the bases.[/spoiler] [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/reach_posters_photo-03.jpg[/url] [spoiler]This poster either says "Arisol 9" Or "Ari Sol 9". The digits of the list count to five twice, while the words count up to eleven once, skipping ten for some reason. Logo at bottom right. You can also make out REACH at the bottom along with AFE and some other digits. [/spoiler] [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/reach_posters_photo-04.jpg[/url] [spoiler]This one may legitimately be a hard hat warning, but there are five words. [/spoiler] These last two are very similar to the race 5 poster at the GDC presentation. [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/reach_posters_photo-05.jpg[/url] [spoiler]A total of fifteen shapes here, a multiple of five. Also there is the five square logo at the top right again. [b]Update:[/b] Bnet user Hunter speculated that this could possibly be the Earth, Traveler, and Moon. I think the triangles may be those pyramids from GDC, also mentioned by user, theboywhoisnt. [/spoiler] [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/reach_posters_photo-06.jpg[/url] [spoiler]I couldn't find any geometric patterns adding up to five, but the logo is at the bottom left this time. Could this possibly be a representation of Old Russia?[/spoiler] Finally, here is the web page with recreated versions of the posters and further speculation as to what they might be. [url]http://www.vis-atk.com/2011/02/22/reach-destroyed-millions-dead-posters-ruined/[/url] Wow. That was a lot of copying and pasting. I have no clue how these are linked to each other, but I have a feeling like there is something hidden here. What do you think these are? Please like the post so that someone who knows a lot about the Destiny lore might see it. Also, thanks to any user for posting their thoughts on this. I would love to see the community figure out what these are!

    I've seen these posters as well. I think most of these are just symbols showing different facilities within the environment, but they do have some resemblance in the art style, mostly to the 5 posters that show the enemies in concept form. For the most part though I don't think any of these are legit easter eggs. I just don't see it.
