1st Logo (November 14, 2001)

Visuals: Over a black background, there is the silver letter "W". A yellow star is placed in the middle of the letter. Below, there are a line and the company name in a Bank Gothic font, respectively. The logo is placed below the Cryo Interactive Entertainment logo.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: It was only seen on Frank Herbert's Dune.

2nd Logo (2003-2006)

Visuals: On a black background, there are three squares, one is light blue and the two of them are in a darker shade of blue, one by one, sliding in from the left and right, respectively. Four small blue squares come to the right of the third square, forming a filmstrip. At the same time, a white star comes to the left of the first square with leaving blue trails behind, which disappears after the star stops into position. A blue light glows and moves to the right to reveal the company name "Widescreen Games" and the small words "game development", all in a gray color. The light then vanishes and a small rectangle consists of four rectangles colored in beige, with the next three rectangles being lighter one by one, fades in beside the small words.

Technique: 2D CGI.

Audio: Some whooshes, four electrical beeps when the filmstrip is forming, and a male announcer saying the company name in deep voice.

Availability: Can be seen on their games, such as Dead to Rights 2.
