Here's something I've found. These are clearly docking ports, and the same upward "C' shape is found under the Triangle. That may imply that those are coordinates?
http://norse-mythology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Valknut-1-300x263.png
that;s the Valknut (val-noot)
[quote]This explanation is all the more plausible since the form of heathen Norse magic that the sources mention the most often, namely seidr, consisted of reaching a heightened state of consciousness wherein one could discern the web of destiny and re-weave particular strands in order to accomplish the practitioner’s purpose. Weaving in this symbolic sense and spiritual power were almost synonymous, so it should come as no surprise that a symbol involving power over life and death would be visualized as a knot.[/quote]
furthering this look closely there's a circle with an arrow poitning upwards, that arrow points towards Tower North (where the Traveler can be seen)
[quote]A less satisfying explanation that some scholars have invoked is that the Valknut could be the “Hrungnir‘s Heart” (Hrungnis hjarta) mentioned in Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda: “Hrungnir had a heart made of hard stone and pointed with three corners, just like the carved symbol which has been called Hrungnir’s heart ever since.”[5] All that this description tells us about the visual form of “Hrungnir’s Heart” is that it had a triangular shape. That’s such a general description that the idea that Hrungnir’s Heart and the Valknut are the same symbol could only really be taken seriously if the archaeological context in which the symbol appears were to match Snorri’s description. As we’ve seen, this is far from the case. The “heart made of hard stone” is utterly incongruous with Odin’s ecstatic magic.
So, given the present state of our knowledge, we can reasonably assume that the meaning of the Valknut has much to do with death, the transition from life to death and probably back again.[/quote]
So now look at the original image again. It has a circle (a flat sphere) with an arrow in it, pointing towards Tower North (which is where you can see the Traveler) Could the Traveler be...waking? in the Taken King? maybe even a new breath? giving us hope?

[quote]The crescent represents the powers of the moon- reflective and receptive. (An example of this symbol taken to its highest symbolic meaning would be the Holy Grail) A reversed crescent often represents emptiness and illusion.[/quote]
"the Holy Grail" a similar quest we could be on?
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/downward.jpg
[quote]The downward pointing triangle is sometimes referred to as the chalice. It is the symbol of water (as it flows downward), the grace of heaven, and the womb. it is one of the most ancient symbols of female divinity, as a representation of the genitalia of the goddess.[/quote]
"female divinity" I personally believe the Traveler to be Alpha Lupi, the Alpha she-wolf, could this be referring to her?
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/vertical.jpg
[quote]First, a vertical axis, representing man, the body, and our upright posture, which is unique in the animal kingdom. The vertical line symbolizes the path from earth to heaven and the realm of spirit, symbolizing the dual nature of man, who embodies the spiritual and the temporal. The vertical axis equates directly to the human spine and to the tree of life, as well as to the axis mundi, the great pole around which the constellations of the zodiac revolve. These seemingly disparate ideas share a common idea- they link the earth and heavens. Thus is the concept of the connection between earth and heaven established- and also the divinity of man, who alone is built on this axis.[/quote]
"tree of life" and "connection between earth and heaven" these two are referring to my next point....
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/circle.jpg
[quote]The Circle is the most common and universal signs, found in all cultures. It is the symbol of the sun in its limitless or boundless aspect. It has no beginning or end, and no divisions, making it the perfect symbol of completeness, eternity, and the soul[/quote]
"eternity, and the soul" Guardians can't die because they were given a new soul....
I'll be taking a break for food, but my current conclusion on the data i've found is that the Nine are playing their tricks again. Toying with our lives and our destiny. I think the Traveler is healing more and more, and that this is a foreshadow to her reawakening.
GAMEPLAY SPOILER[spoiler]I Just received my first encrypted patrol mission, it started with kill enemies, then critical kills, then nothing. I threw grenades melee heavy secondary crits, no improvements. But then i thought KHARRIS! i had to go to the Breach and fight him! and thought how awesome a little mission that was. Upon entering i didnt find him, but did get an update to my encryption. It read[quote]?ee?in?s ?x?r?ss??[/quote]
I moved further in. and it updated again![quote]?ee?ings ex?r?ss?d[/quote]
I went all the way back to our original revival point. danced, and it finished. then my ghost said this exactly.[quote]So that's what the message was about. Wait...Could this have been a signal sent by...Nevermind.[/quote]
Sent by...the Traveler?[/spoiler]

just came back to the tower and what do i see? Flowers. The only planter with flowers, and its where this symbol is. This symbol that suggests fertility, and new life, is the only planter with flowers. The stars are aligning Guardians.
Where will you be when the Traveler wakes?
-
It has pretty flowers too
-
The Deathly Hallows in Destiny?
-
BUNGIE IS SECRETLY AFFILIATED WITH THE ILLUMINATI! *Drops controller, walks away*

1 ReplyHas anyone noticed the little dot symbols next to the planets in the director since the update? What are they about, does anybody know?
-
1 ReplyIt would be funny if it just told you where Xur was located.
-
2 RepliesWow thats cool how you you figured all that out
-
Destiny is very engulged with norse mythology and magic, even Gjallerhorn is in Norse Mythology
-
The nine created the traveler by going back in time
-
I'm going to laugh very hard when Bungie comes out and says "Yeah our lead designer for the symbol was a big Harry Potter fan so he made it look like that. Nah, there's no in game reason for it it's just to tell you when Xur is here"
-
1 ReplyI love you
-
Not sure if you know already but that logo is to say where xur is
-
I feel like they put that there just for you Anon you know everything about Destiny
-
2 RepliesChrist, is there a tl;dr?
-
Probably took the designer less time to come up with the idea and draw it.
-
Idk all I know it means xur is here
-
1 ReplyCould someone explain these encrypted patrols?
-
1 Reply[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/152987166/0/0/1]I figured it was just a sign that xur is currently in that particular social space.[/url]
-
2 RepliesI figured it out! This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows! Destiny is actually in the same universe as Harry Potter. Voldemort's return is confirmed.
-
1 ReplyMy guess is it's just a marker to indicate that Xur is in this area. I saw something where they were going to make it easier to know if he was in the tower or reef. Kind of subtle for that use but maybe.
-
Ya i looked for it today and saw it was gone. Due to it leaving with Xur i really think it has very much to do with The Nine and plus the roman numeral IX. I'll definently be looking out for it next weekend. Anybody know if this symbol has appeared before 2.0?
-
Dude, I love you and all, but you do know that this is just an indicator as to if Xûr is in the Tower or not?
-
[b] [/b]
-
Or..... [spoiler]illuminati[/spoiler]
-
TL;dr
-
You do realize that this symbol just shows if xur is in the tower or not? Damn people warch way to much moovies and shit to come up with such theories.
-
2 RepliesO_o It's the symbol of the 9 How in heavens name have you managed to come up with about 20 ridiculous theories for a symbol of the 9 that has the f$%king roman numeral for 9 right on it!
