1. Look at the newly released Titan concept art. It is very similar (the belt even looks exactly the same) to the character in the selection screen with the unknown symbol.
2. The unknown symbol and the Titan's symbol look pretty similar too. It's just a little detail that sets them apart.
3. The unknown symbol is also on the chestplate of the Titan in the recently released character trailer (he wears the previously mentioned belt too). This could be the Vanguard armor which was mentioned in the latest OXM issue.
4. When the Titan is shown in the character trailer there is a "V" and an "S" in the sign in the bottom left corner. Maybe "V" stands for Vanguard and "S" for the second subclass.
4. These are quotes from different sources (IGN, Polygon, Mail Sack) describing the same situation:

A shotgun. Sounds a lot like a Titan, doesn't it? Apart from this the name Vanguard would suit a close-quarters combat subclass quite well.

Bungie has mentioned a Vangaurdian in Destiny before, the only time they have is when they've had people test Destiny for them. So I think if you play the Beta, you will get a special title the pertains to you being a Vangaurdian.
