Sky above Venus.
A bold new action game, set in a living world
We're blazing a ton of new trails.
Bungie has generally preferred open plan or "war room" designs for their working spaces, and famously rebelled against Microsoft's cubicle culture shortly after the buyout. Desks are all on wheels, allowing for small teams to be configured and reconfigured quickly.
Some teams seem to be arranged around Destinations, such as the one in the center background with the Mars banner; others might be arranged around species, such as the one in the left foreground labeled "Vex".
The Destiny tricorn logo.
"We needed something that challenges and inspires all of us, something, that I think, has enough ideas in it that it'll last us for the next ten years."

One game a year between 1992 and 1998. My, how times (and development cycles) have changed.
Bungie's outer lobby shows their company history, as well as more recent Destiny tricorn logo.
"Don't make us kick your ass" is written above the door in Latin.
If I had to guess... Hunter.
The heavy armor and big gun make this Guardian probably a Titan.
This Guardian's weapon almost seems like an archaic revolver, a stark contrast to the Cylon-like visor.
Another Guardian render, this one armed with another familiar-seeming sniper rifle.
Distinguishing between the three known player classes visually appears to be more complicated than simply examining available gear and equipment. All three classes appear able to carry and use guns, and wear helmets. All player characters are depicted having their faces concealed.
This would presumably be a view from the Tower. It appears to be on the edge of the city, rather than directly underneath the Traveler.
The colored banners seen in this shot and elsewhere may indicate factional associations.
No mention has yet been made of any gameplay mechanic that would involve guild or faction territories, or the taking and holding of territories during solo or multiplayer.
A rearview of the spacecraft shows more than a passing resemblance to the fighters flown by Spartans in Halo: Reach.
...and heads out towards interplanetary space.
...departs from Earth orbit, far above the Traveler...
