===Background===
'''Strategy First''' is a Canadian-based game company. Though it published a number of well-known games, the company itself had not reached acclaim and still exits as a down-echelon brand. In 2004, the company filed for bankruptcy and was acquired by Silverstar. Despite heavy losses (the reason Silverstar closed their other division [[Empire Interactive]]), Strategy First continues to exist in "vegetation" state.

This logo can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z-Oh1sl6oA here].
'''Visuals:''' There is a foundry full of hot molten metal. It then pours down on the {{color|red}}-colored stencil of the Strategy First logo, which depicts profiles of four people (a knight, a military soldier, an astronaut and a football player) inside the circle. From the side is the dripping, then the logo turns firescreen and bursts into flames, leaving the {{color|gold|golden}} form. The company name is above while "{{Font|Serif|{{color|gold|Presents}}}}" appears below.
'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Variants:'''
*The <u>print logo</u>, in {{color|gold|golden}}, was sometimes used.
*On <u>''Disciples II: Dark Prophecy'', ''Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliffs'', and ''Steel Beasts''</u>, the slogan "Let the Games Begin!" doesn't appear.
'''Technique:''' CGI and live-action.
'''Audio:''' A pulsing bass line, later being joined in by a bending electric guitar note, hi-hats. All of them transition into the powerful and loud tech-house music. The music fades to a wind blowing sound and a fiery whoosh.
'''Audio Variant:''' On <u>''Disciples II: Dark Prophecy'', ''Dragon Throne: Battle of Red Cliffs'', and ''Steel Beasts''</u>, towards the end, the music winds down like a vinyl record player being turned off. On the latter, the wind-down comes later than usual.
'''Availability:''' It was seen on ''Empire of the Ants'', ''Legion'', ''Submarine Titans'', ''Europa Universalis'' and ''Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns''. The print logo used on ''Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood''.
