Sunflowers Logo (2000)Sunflowers Logo (2004)Sunflowers Logo (2006)

Logo: On the surface of the Sun, a flare emerges from it as the camera quickly zooms away from it. As it comes into full view, a disk from the bottom of the screen flips from the bottom of the screen and stops in front of the Sun, making a solar eclipse. The disk then rotates towards, revealing its dark blue with an orange rim. It then takes up the whole screen, making the background a dark blue. Rings then wipe in "SUNFLOWERS" in a orange gradient font, along with "the world of entertainment". The latter's rings rotate up in a arc, forming a abstract representation of the sun's outer rim with embers coming off the side, causing the text to turn white.

Variants: On Knights of Honor, the logo just fades in, taking less place on the screen. On early localization for ParaWorld, the logo is still in a 3D button. On Anno 1503/1503 A.D., the animation was shortened to the last seconds.

FX/SFX: The camera zooming, the disc, the sparks.

Music/Sounds: Dramatic note consisting of repeating pair synth beats. Other sounds are heard to the end.

Availability: Seen on Holiday Island, TechnoMage: Return to Eternity, Anno 1503/1503 A.D., Anno 1602/1602 A.D., and the still version was seen on Knights of Honor. During the first few years, a different logo design was used on box covers, but never in the games.

Editor's Note: None.
