Background
RenderWare is the massively-used game engine developed by Criterion Studios.
Contents | ||
---|---|---|
1st Logo (September 9, 1999-December 29, 2000) | 2nd Logo (June 28, 2001-February 4, 2005) | 3rd Logo (May 20, 2002-June 26, 2009) |
1st Logo (September 9, 1999-December 29, 2000)
The video of this logo may be too loud or severely distorted. |
Visuals: On a white background, a C-shaped row of yellow balls appears moving on and surrounded by another row of red balls, which just fade in. Then, the text "RenderWare" materialises next to the rings and a grey number "3" zooms back rotating next to "RenderWare".
Variants:
- There is a still prototype variant which takes place on a black background, and the colour rings face down and have a 3D effect. The name (without "3") is below it.
- There is a still version of the logo with a copyright notice below.
Technique: 2D computer animation. A digital graphic for the still version.
Audio: A harsh electronic jingle, followed by a rather loud whoosh. The still variants are silent.
Availability: The animated version can be seen on Deep Fighter for Dreamcast and Aqua Aqua for PS2. The still black-background version appeared on TrickStyle, while the still version with the copyright notice can be seen on Rayman Revolution for PS2.
2nd Logo (June 28, 2001-February 4, 2005)
Visuals: On a light blue background, three coloured shapes appear, each accompanied with a name of a RenderWare component, which dissolves immediately. Blue comes first with Graphics, green with Audio and pink with Physics. Then the shapes zoom back and "RenderWare" in a black, shiny font zooms in below them. There is also "PLATFORM" below.
Variants:
- There are still variants. One of them has a yellow background, and another has a black background and is missing "PLATFORM".
- On Grand Theft Auto III for the PS2, the logo blurs in on a black background with the "PLATFORM" text. Also, the text is in a light grey font. It then blurs out after a few seconds.
- On some games, it shares the screen with other logos.
- Sometimes, the logo is in-credit, in the case of NFL Blitz 20-03.
- On both Outlaw Golf games, the logo is glowing white and is next to the Bink Video (for Outlaw Golf) or GameSpy (for Outlaw Golf 2) logos.
- On Tonka: Monster Trucks, only the blue part of the logo (RenderWare Graphics) is shown.
Technique: 2D computer animation. A digital graphic for the still variants.
Audio: Three "bing" sounds followed by a synthesized charging-up-like sound.
Audio Variants:
- On the PS2 version of Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights, alongside the still variants, the logo is silent.
- The latter variant also have the opening theme of the game playing through it.
Availability:
- Appeared on MX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael, the first Burnout, City Crisis and MegaRace 3, among others.
- The black-background version was seen on Frank Herbert's Dune and Outlaw Golf 1 and 2, while the yellow-background variant appears on Antz: Extreme Racing.
- The RenderWare Graphics variant was only seen on Tonka: Monster Trucks.
3rd Logo (May 20, 2002-June 26, 2009)
