Too Many Se7ens

This really shows me up as a hardcore geek, but I just can't help myself. An update to the Halo Story Page over at Halo.Bungie.Org today caught my attention. Knight Premier claims that the original Halo logo contains a top-down diagram of the relic from the Halo 3 trailer.

However, the diagram has 8 pairs of open-ended rectangles arranged symmetrically around the perimeter of the circle. The relic has only 7 pairs of ramps (or antennas, or pillars, or reflectors, or whatever they are). Thus the diagram most likely depicts the arrangement of structures on Installation 04 (Halo). Not only were they often found in pairs, but we never saw more than 8 of them in the game. (I think the actual count was more like 5, but I'm not certain.)

Given Bungie's long-standing preoccupation with the number 7, I doubt that the diagram has that extra pair by coincidence. Then again, the last pair is kind of hard to see . . .
