4 Ender’s Game Movie Battle School Army Logos Revealed Today!
–
Today, Summit Entertainment, the film studio which is making the Ender’s Game movie gave a number of hardcore Ender’s Game sites the opportunity to share with their readers the Battle School Army logos which will be used in the movie (which will be in theaters on November 1, 2013). They shared four different Battle School army’s logos on four different fan websites forcing us fans to go to each of the sites to check them each out. I decided that because I didn’t like having to go to each of the different sites I’d throw them all together in the helpful image you see below:

The various sites and posts where these were found were as follows:
- Salamander Army from EnderWiggin.net
- Rat Army from EndersAnsible.com
- Dragon Army from EnderNews.com
- Asp Army from EndersGameFanSite.com
You’ll notice in the above graphic I maintained all watermarks they added as well as adding a web address for each and their Twitter handles.
As far as I can tell each logo stays true to the information about the army in the book (where applicable). Salamander Army’s colors were listed as Green-Green-Brown and Dragon Army’s colors were listed as Gray-Orange-Gray. The other two armies’ colors weren’t mentioned so I am guessing the production team just went with whatever they saw fit. In ordering the above image I decided to go with the order in which Ender himself was part of those armies with Asp Army being last as Ender was never a part of that army.
Below, I have also included a larger versions of the army logos individually. Clicking them will take you to their sourced blog post:

I hope the sites are cool with me reposting these all in spot. I am excited for the developments of this movie and for its release because, as I have mentioned before, I absolutely love the book Ender’s Game and its follow up series – which is still being written and I am still reading as they are released.
All in all, I think the logos are pretty good. I don’t know why they didn’t bother staying true to the color combinations of the different armies and instead chose one primary color per army to go with but that kind of small change in the book to movie transition is something I can definitely be OK with. I’d also be surprised if we see these logos in anything more than passing and background over the course of the movie so it probably matters very, very little. What do you think about the logos?

Wait. WHAT Ender’s Game follow-up series is still being written??? I’ve read BOTH the entire series involving Bean and Ender in the roles after Ender’s Game. WHAT AM I MISSING, DAN???
But yes, Ender’s Game as a movie? Oh, this is going to ROCK.
Yes Casey, they are still being written! “Shadows In Flight” (2012) is the most recent continuation dealing with part of the story of Bean & his kids who have the three found children with Anton’s Key turned on their relativistic voyage and “Shadows Alive” (Release TBA) will link the Ender & Bean threads together as well as tying up all loose ends in the series.
As well, “Earth Unaware” (2012) is the first book of a planned prequel trilogy to Ender’s Game. The next book in that trilogy, “Earth Afire” is scheduled to be released on June 4, 2013. These books tell the story of the First Formic War and introduce a young Mazer Rackham (although in the first book he isn’t a primary character or even a secondary).
OHHHHH man. There’s gonna be some Achilles de Flandres II action going on!!!
*adds to reading list*
I highly doubt that and due to your comment I am guessing you haven’t read “Ender in Exile” (2008). You’ve got lots of catching up to do in the Enderverse my friend!
By publication date all novels & short stories in the Enderverse are (via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender%27s_Game_(series)#Chronology_chart):
Ender’s Game (1985)
Speaker for the Dead (1986)
Xenocide (1991)
Children of the Mind (1996)
Ender’s Shadow (1999)
Shadow of the Hegemon (2001)

Shadow of the Giant (2005)
A War of Gifts: An Ender Story (2007)

Earth Unaware (2012)
Earth Afire (2013) – Scheduled for Release June 4, 2013 [9]
Shadows Alive (forthcoming, originally planned as part of “Shadows in Flight”)
I was assuming that in “Shadows in Flight”, unless I’ve got my chronology messed up following the events of “Shadow of the Giant”. I’ve read UP to “Ender in Exile”. Looking forward to reading the latest 🙂
Ooooh, I wish they’d given us Phoenix Army instead of Asp Army. Now how am I supposed to make a bookmark with all of Ender’s armies on it? I guess I’ll have to wait until they release the Phoenix Army logo…
You might be able to grab it today! Today’s the day when the first trailer comes out!!!
