1st Logo (1999-2005)

• 

Logo: On a white background, multiple lines, either transparent or red, thin or thick, are seen moving from the top and bottom of the screen with multiple copies of a white "HanWay" in either an outline or bold format seen. The lines and the text copies meet at the center where the thick and thin red lines move and fade up and down respectively and the unfilled "HanWay" gains a red color. The company's website link in red then fades in below

Variant: On To Kill a King, the website is omitted.

FX/SFX: The lines and text copies sliding.

3rd Logo (2019-)

• 

Logo: A closed hand emerges from a black background, revealing a set of letters on its palm. It tosses the letters onto the screen with them rearranging to form "HanWay".
