''' Logo:''' On a black background, the camera swoops underneath a strange molten steel structure, floating over a white plate. As the camera pans above it, the structure is revealed to be a strange-looking man made out of a deformed H for its body and a G for its head. The man has also cooled down to a normal steel color with some rust patches. Below the man is the text " HOTGEN" with the H and G larger than the rest of the letters, in a steel Arial font and "S T U D I O S" below that in a smaller print. The logo then transitions to the print logo. |
