The logo/crest which can be seen in the lower left of this image has been found over at unFiction forums. Click here for a close up of the crest off the poster (provided by PostLarval from unFiction).

The ‘logo’ is actually crest of Gauteng which Johannesburg is capital of. Few modifications have been made from the actual logo, but it is clearly the same concept.

SpaceAngel from unFiction provided an article which talks about Gauteng and has a picture of the crest which can bee seen below. He/she also pointed out an excerpt from the article.

The pick symbolises the mining activities on which the wealth of the province have been built. A pick also appeared in the arms of Southern Rhodesia and the Republic of Rhodesia, which was also built on mining activities – or at least the expectation of great wealth.

Many of the comments made on George’s blog talk about the MNU mines. There are also refrences to mining on the D-9.com website.

Thanks to everyone from unFiction. And don’t forget to register at the MovieViral.com Forum (Official District9News forum).

This is a summary up to 7/28.

The marketing began after multiple signs like the one bellow were scattered around Comic Con.

This obviously led to D-9.com.

Once you go there, you are given 2 options; Human or Non-Human. If you click Human it takes you to a satellite image and small locations on which you can click. Then it tells you about an incident that took place there. If you click Non-Human, you must translate things by clicking the blue sound icon. Its the same thing as the Human, accept the incidents are different.

Once you enter (and for this I selected Human) you are shown the satellite image of “District 9″.

Once you fig-it around a bit, you can proceed to the next website which can be accessed by going to the upper-right ad that says “POWER THE EARTH – Join the cause!”. That takes you to MultiNationalUnited.com. Once you get there, a video plays, which tells you a bit about MNU and their services.

This website was made with great detail, as you will see. Going as far as creating jobs and advertisements. If you register your email on the homepage, you can access their privacy policy. By doing so, you are exposed to another website, which is MathsFromOuterSpace.com.

This website is made very simply and there is a test you can take. If you get all the answers right it takes you to a 404 Error screen. If you miss one, it says you are not qualified.

From graffiti found on D-9.com, the website MNUSpreadsLies.com can be seen. This website is written in all non-human language. There is a translation button. You can read through those.

That’s it for this post, I hope all of you go over to the District9News forum (MovieViral.com/Forum) and register.
