Roses vs Violets

20 Gamerscore icon taken from Xbox.com. Originally a single block colour (with the two circles both being white and the 'G' a transparent cutout), but modified by myself to display nicely on dark *and* light themes, and to be reminiscent of the pre-Xbox One gamerscore icon.

Roses vs Violets is an achievement in Halo 4. It is awarded when a player, in Spartan Ops, finds one of the Red vs. Blue easter eggs. The achievement is worth 20 Gamerpoints. It is represented by a star inside an oval with one half of color blue and the other red.[1]

Trivia

  • The achievement's name is most likely a reference to the Red vs. Blue theme song, Blood Gulch Blues by Trocadero; specifically derived from the lyric "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue", which itself is a reference to the poem "Roses are red".
  • After the player get this achievement, Michael J. Caboose of Blue Team will slip in the radio transmissions between Sarah Palmer, Robert Dalton and the Majestic Squad during Core while Caboose along with fellow Blue team member Church, Simmons and Grif of Red Team will slip in the radio transmissions again during Gagarin.
