1st Logo (August 16, 2005-June 29, 2011)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a blue moon. Below it is the text "HIGH MOON" in a tall font, and underneath is the text "STUDIOS". The logo is surrounded by a glow.

Variant: On the Transformers games developed by the studio, an animated version exists. On a space background, Cybertron zooms out from a light effect, and robotic pieces form a broken copy of the text. Then the robotic pieces turn into the proper text, Cybertron transforms into the moon, and the standard logo fades in.

Technique: A still digital graphic. CGI for the Transformers variant.

Audio: None for Darkwatch. On The Bourne Conspiracy, a synth drone is heard. On the Transformers variant, a synth drone with metallic robotic sounds is heard.

Availability: Seen on Darkwatch for PS2 and Xbox, The Bourne Conspiracy for PS3 and Xbox 360, and two Transformers games: War for Cybertron and Dark of the Moon for PS3 and Xbox 360.

2nd Logo (August 21, 2012-)

Visuals: On a space background, the text "HIGH MOON" zooms out with "STUDIOS" on the bottom right, and a moon on the left side zooms out. The logo shines.

Variant: A variant on a black background with a zooming-in effect exists.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Audio: A robotic sound. On Deadpool, a whoosh sound is heard. Otherwise, the sound depends on the game.
