Background

Acony Games GmbH & Co. KG was a German game development studio founded in 2004 by members of the Winderlich family. They are famous for their massive-multiplayer online first-person shooter game, Parabellum in 2009 (rebranded to Bullet Run in 2012). The studio was closed on February 5, 2013 after Sony Online Entertainment ended development on the game, shutting down all of its servers on March 8 of that year.

Logo (2006)

Visuals: The letters in "ACONY" zoom out one-by-one in a haphazardly fashion at the bottom of the screen, rumbling for a moment when they land. After all the letters appear at the bottom, a silhouette of an eagle in flight quickly flies down and slams into the background, straightening out the letters in the process. The screen then glitches twice, briefly inverting the logo and blurring it out. The entire logo is coloured white.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A quiet reversed cymbal crash plays, leading up to 5 loud shotgun blasts when the letters zoom out, with reloading sounds in-between. A quiet squealing sound that transitions into a quick swoosh is also heard when the eagle silhouette zooms out, followed by a louder explosion. Electricity buzzes are heard with each flickers.

Availability: Only appeared on the pre-alpha gameplay trailer for Parabellum.
