20th Century Fox teases Alien: Covenant patch! Rounding out the Alien Day celebrations, 20th Century Fox has teased fans with a small look at Alien: Covenant. Via their various social media outlets, 20th Century Fox are showing off the ship patch of the Covenant!
20th Century Fox teases Alien: Covenant Patch
The patch shows some very obvious connections to James Cameron’s Aliens, utilizing the sequel’s catchline “Building Better Worlds” and the spelling Weyland-Yutani, indicating that the company merger has occurred by the time Alien: Covenant takes place. It also shows off some Alien design influence with the wings, a motif that was present in Sir Ridley Scott’s Alien as the original Weylan-Yutani logo included Egyptian styled wings.
Michael Fassbender was pictured earlier this month sporting a Covenant cap, also featuring stylized wings. Though whether that is a prop from the film or just a cast and crew hat is not yet known.
Thanks to FiorinaFury161 and MattFiler for the news.
Thats it.
I know it's the patch from the picture.
I love it, Enoch! That's great!

It's a planetoid, twelve hundred kilometers.

This one is just made by someone... I thought that it looks
a bit more visible than that originaly posted.
I played a bit inspired by this patch logo, and this's what I made:

I know it isn much but... I like it
Afterall, I m not an expert...
Looks like! http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Friedric_Marcus
Bishop in Colonial Marines was initially going to be Rook but they changed it. Stole my ship name though!
Good question. I'm mostly curious to see how much of an antagonist David is doing to be.
I've been reading up a little more on the Ark and I have to wondering if this'll build into the Engineer's hatred of us more. Apparently the Ark was destroyed by the Babylonians. Perhaps the Ark was some sort of Engineer device or an actual law that they handed down for mankind to follow?
They could also be quite on the nose about it as King David is related to the Ark and we have our own David...
"You're tearing me apart, Engineer!"

The one name I keep in reserve for any fan related project I do that requires an android.
They are making it up as they go.
Interesting name for the one of the Characters...Rook.

I see it now. Not very prominent though.
The Prometheus bridge was also arguably based on an early discarded idea for the Nostromo's bridge.
He didn't pursue the Jesus link because it was a smelly idea! And I hope to god (haha) he still thinks the same.
This is a fine example of how Scott will revisit previously discarded ideas if he sees fit.
If he decides that Jesus was an Engineer - or was created by them - then he's still in the position to go down that path should he choose to do so.

We wanted an alien origin story and how the engineers crashed on LV-426, NOT a dragged out evolution-based hype train and a planet designated 223, HALF the numbers of 426 (Uhoh! bible reference!) and "nods" to his work back in '79 as an excuse to flesh out a mishandled design (Engineer chair had RIBS! a natural fossilized HUGE corpse in the chair!) and make it out as something entirely different.
I guess I'm still seething over the fact that he MADE Alien 5 get put on hold, but had prometheus been a little less forceful on the religious aspect and pointless execution of storyline, I might of enjoyed it. I'll give Covenant a watch when it comes out, but in reality im expecting another pointless, dragged out notion of unanswered questions that we'll partly get the answer to 5 sequels down the line.
I found that Ridley used symbols of Saturn in all patches in Alien and in Prometheus! Symbolic meaning of Saturn (god) could very well have some impact of overall story!
After all, Scott originally had a lot of ideas and concepts for 'ALIEN' and abandoned them. Then those same ideas found their way into 'Prometheus'...
So, was Jesus an Engineer? Maybe. Maybe the more important question is 'Was Jesus created by the Engineers..?'
-Windebieste.
No. Even more interesting is the fact that the Ark in the 1981 movie closely matches the description of the item from The Bible.
I specifically chose to link to an image of the Ark of the Covenant other than that which appears in the movie to not associate it with 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.
The Ark is a genuine and legitimate Historical artifact*; and wasn't invented by Spielberg just for sake of Nazis to plunder and be recovered by our dashing hero, Mr. Jones.
-Windebieste.
*If you're into all that weird Christian stuff, that is.
Doesn't look ringed to me. Plenty of moons though.
I do hope they have another good viral marketing campaign to Covenant. Prometheus' was damn cool.
You could do it without literally showing board meetings. It could even be handled smartly in a few lines of dialogue.
I agree. I thought Ms. Yutani was the best part of AVP:R. Perhaps the only redeeming aspect of the film.
Exactly. Mr. & Mrs. Popcorn aren't going to enjoy sitting through a scene where the Weyland and Yutani CEOs and their lawyers talk business.
I suppose that could work. If we have too much corporate or political intrigue, keep in mind how well that worked for the Star Wars prequels.

Interestingly, the Ark from Raiders of the Lost Ark is an even closer match to the design on the logo. And guess which well regarded concept artist just happened to have worked on Raiders as well?
Like everything so far, hope its good.
Must. Not. As-
Who?
Shit.
We have top men working on it right now.
That might work... But who would be te ultimate threat?
Engineers are not creators of Xenos, not original creators at least; so who created them?
Ridley said that Xenos were created by someone/something in order to defend or attack someone...?
A good story is typically dependent on a good character arc, whereby the character starts on one value and by the end of the story, that value has changed. This is where Alien 3 failed as well. Ripley's arc just ended. She didn't evolve. What would be a good arc, is if Ripley continues her fight against the company, and then half-way through Blomkamp's film she learns why W-Y is searching for the Xenomorph, which is to save humanity. Then Ripley joins W-Y to continue their quest. There's the ending that would have completed Ripley's arc in a more profound, meaningful way.
