Background
Deluxe Digital Studios is a leading supplier of DVD and Blu-ray post-production services, including subtitling and localization, video compression, encoding and authoring, among others. Their clients include major Hollywood studios, most notably Universal and 20th Century Fox, as well as a growing number of online retailers.
Established in the early 2000s, the company itself is a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Inc., an American mass media company founded in 1915 by William Fox (founder of Fox Film, a predecessor to 20th Century Fox).
1st Logo (2002-2005)
-
Fullscreen
-
Widescreen
-
Still
Nicknames: "The Red Globe", "Deluxe Globe"
Logo: On a black/white gradient background, a red globe zooms out while rotating. Then, it becomes solid as the word "deluxe" fades on it (forming the Deluxe Corporation logo). "digital" flies out from the circle letter-by-letter, as the texts "design", "compression", "authoring", and "production services", in white, appear under "STUDIOS", which appears letter-by-letter under "ital". The Deluxe logo then flashes, and "A DIVISION OF DELUXE GLOBAL MEDIA SERVICES LLC" fades in.
Variants:
- A widescreen version exists, which appears on widescreen releases of certain DVDs from the period.
- A still version without the changing text exists, which is seen on the 2002 DVD of The Money Pit and many 2003 DVD releases.
FX/SFX: The globe moving, the letters appearing.
Music/Sounds: A synth drone is heard all throughout the logo. When the letters appear, several whooshes and beeps are heard, and a boom is heard at the end. None for the still version.
Availability: The animated version is fairly common, but the still version is rare. Sometimes paired with the Macrovision logo for Universal DVDs.
- Seen at the end of most DVD releases from Universal (late 2002 to early 2005), 20th Century Fox (late 2004 to mid 2005), and MGM.
- It was also seen at the end of some releases from Artisan Entertainment (before they folded into Lionsgate), Lions Gate Home Entertainment, and HBO Video.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (2005-2006)
-
Fullscreen
-
Fullscreen with byline
-
Widescreen
Nicknames: "The Grid", "Deluxe Grid"
Logo: An iris-in effect brings forth a red/black background with a grid and a continuously scrolling filmstrip that transforms into 1/0 binary codes after reaching the center. The Deluxe Digital Studios logo from before flies faintly from left to right over the background. Then, a transparent square flashes in, where the Deluxe circle zooms out and "digital" and "STUDIOS" slide in from left and right, respectively. The texts "DESIGN", "COMPRESSION", and "AUTHORING" appear above the square, fading in word-by-word while they slowly space out, before ending with "PRODUCTION SERVICES". The codes and text continue to move as the logo fades out.
Variant: On early Universal DVDs with this logo, it is in a crimson red color, and below reads "A DIVISION OF DELUXE LABORATORIES" with a red glow. This variant appeared on October Sky: Special Edition, Ray, Meet the Fockers, The Motorcycle Diaries, David Lynch's Dune, and Assault on Precinct 13 (2005). This variant is extremely rare.
FX/SFX: The binary text scrolling, the flash, the (changing) text fading.
Music/Sounds: A sound that sounds like air blowing, then a loud whoosh sound when the square flashes.
Availability: Uncommon, as this logo was only used for nearly two years.
- It was seen at the end of 2005-2006 DVDs from Universal and 20th Century Fox.
- It made an appearance on MGM releases from mid-2005 (before Sony took over distribution), such as The Ballad of Jack and Rose, and Beauty Shop.
- It also appears on the Lionsgate releases of Saw: Special Edition, The Barbie Diaries and Arthur's Missing Pal, some HBO Video releases from 2005 to 2006, and some New Line Cinema releases, such as Domino and Take the Lead.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo (2006-2016)
-
Fullscreen
-
Widescreen
Nicknames: "The Sketch", "Deluxe Sketch"
Logo: On a white paper-like background, the Deluxe Digital Studios logo sketches itself in at a bottom angle, before angling itself upward as it zooms out to the center. To the tune of the logo music, the Deluxe logo faintly flashes as all the normal colors begin painting in. With the background now bright silver, the Deluxe circle becomes shiny as a duplicate of the text on it shoots out letter-by-letter. The Deluxe circle flashes again as its color "inflates" inside, while the entire logo then raises to fully render in CGI. At the same time, the background becomes a darker silver metal flooring, with a large blue spotlight shining on the Deluxe logo. The logo's shadow moves from right to left as the flooring shines on top from the opposite.
Variants:
- On the pan and scan version seen on full-screen only DVDs, the logo starts at the left side and when it angles, it pans until it's centered.
- On Blu-ray releases, the logo cuts to black instead of fading out.
FX/SFX: Very good CGI, blending both CGI and 2D animation to astonishing results.
Music/Sounds: A piano theme that builds up to a majestic climax and ends with a held-out synth drone and a faint "hiss" with the shine.
Availability: Common. It was seen at the end of 2006-2016 Universal DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as 20th Century Fox DVDs/Blu-rays until mid-2009 as well as Summit Entertainment releases from 2008-2011.
- Like the previous logos, this logo was paired with the Macrovision logo on Universal DVDs until early 2007.
- Fox DVDs and Blu-rays since 2009 no longer have this logo, with the introduction of the region-specific warning screen.
- It does not appear on the original release of Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses, but subsequent Barbie titles from this timeframe do have it.
- It also appeared on the Lionsgate releases of Saw II: Special Edition and The Last Unicorn: 25th Anniversary Edition.
Editor's Note: None.
4th Logo (2016-)
Nicknames: "2010s Deluxe", "Where's Digital Studios"
Logo: On a white background, three red swirls fly into the screen as a bright red light moves in to the center of the screen. The swirls form the Deluxe circle from the previous logos, however "deluxe" is in a different font. There are still some swirls in the circle. The "digital studios" text is also absent.
FX/SFX: Again, nice CGI.
Music/Sounds: A long whoosh accompanied by twinkling sounds.
Availability: Current and common.
- Seen on most Universal DVDs and Blu-rays since March 2016. Some Universal DVDs and Blu-rays do not have this logo, as they go straight to the main menu.
- It does not appear on any Universal Ultra HD Blu-rays as they use the next logo instead, nor on Fox titles in all formats, as they kept using the same region-specific warning screen and then updated to Disney's version in May 2020.
Editor's Note: None.
5th Logo (2017-)
Nicknames: "4K Deluxe", "The Red Globe II", "Universal Deluxe"
Logo: On a white background, a red circle zooms out, which later turns into a globe, and back into the circle with the word "deluxe" in the same font as the previous logo.
FX/SFX: The circle zooming out, and the turning of the circle.
Music/Sounds: A calming three-note string tune, along with some shining.
Availability: Only seen on Ultra HD Blu-rays from Universal. This logo does not appear on standard Blu-rays or DVDs from Universal, as they use the previous logo instead.
Editor's Note: Same as before.
