TT Games

Background

TT Games is a British video game developer that was founded in 1989 by Jon Burton as Traveller's Tales and was established a year later. In 2005, it merged with Giant Interactive Entertainment to form the current publishing studio. In 2007, it was acquired by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and has been a development division since. TT Games' first game was Leander (known as Legend of Galahad for Sega Genesis) and was known for games such as Puggsy, Mickey Mania, and Rascal. It is currently known for the Lego games and video games based on animated movies such as the first two Toy Story films, A Bug's Life, and Finding Nemo.

Logo (25 October 2005-)

Visuals: In a white space, an orange "T" looks around, but then jumps in a startled fashion as a light blue "t" leaps into view. It stops by the "T" as it gets a rub on its "head". "Traveller's" and "tales" appear on the top and bottom of the screen respectively, both spaced out to fit each other. The "t" then leans to the side of the "T".

Variants:

On the copyright screens for Lego games starting with the GameCube version of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game, as well as Nintendo DS games, the logo is still on a black background. The name is replaced with "GAMES", reflecting the rename of the studio.
On Transformers: The Game, two cars, both in a similar size and color to the "T"'s race along the ground before transforming into the letters.
On Bionicle Heroes, after the Piraka break through the Eidos logo, they look over to see the "T"'s shaking in fear, with the smaller one hiding behind the large one, only to be crushed by Avak's foot. All of them then look at his markings, and then decide to stamp it into the screen, showing the still variant's logo as a sinister laugh is heard. If the opening logos are skipped, it cuts straight to the stomp.
On a CBC Kids cartoon called What's Your News?, it's the same as the still variant, but "games" is replaced by "animation".
At the end of the credits of console Lego games, a variant of the logo is used. The logo starts off with two LEGO minifigure construction workers looking at blueprints, while a forklift and some gold blocks are in the background. The logo then goes into a timelapse of them building the "TT" logo up, though it does stop once for a break where some of them also play with a ball. When the timelapse finishes, one of the men leans on the "t", causing it to lean, and they run away rather quickly as the logo fades to its normal self, name included.
On Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 for DS, the logo appears as a sketch on a piece of parchment.
On the trailer for Lego Harry Potter, it is gray-blue and placed over the thundering background.
On the Sonic Gems Collection port of Sonic R, the logo is still on a white background. The black background version is also found in the credits.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The sounds of jumping letters and various squeaks.

Audio Variants:

The sounds of running cars and metal conversion for the Transformers variant.
On the Lego variant, the construction workers building are heard. At the end, after the one worker pushes the lowercase "t", there is a timpani roll. At the end of the roll, just faintly, a sound like Legos falling apart can be heard. On Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, little sounds and grunts are added to the characters' actions.

Availability:

The still variant is seen on every Lego game from the GameCube version of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game onwards.
The Lego variant appears after the end of the credits of most Lego games starting with Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.
The normal variant only appears on Super Monkey Ball Adventure, the PlayStation Portable games F1 Grand Prix and World Rally Championship, and the two The Chronicles of Narnia adaptation games they developed.
Also appears on the 2005 Nintendo GameCube/PlayStation 2 port of Sonic R included in Sonic Gems Collection, plastering the previous logo.

Legacy: Opinions of this logo have been mixed, with some praising the simplicity of the logo and its variants on the many LEGO games they've developed, and others criticizing it for not being as creative as its predecessors.
