Sucker Punch Productions

Background
Sucker Punch Productions is a video game development studio founded in 1997 in Bellevue, Washington by ex-Microsoft employees Brian Fleming, Chris Zimmerman, Bruce Oberg, Darrell Plank, and Tom and Cathy Saxton. Their first game was Rocket: Robot On Wheels, released in 1999 on the Nintendo 64 in conjunction with Ubisoft, which performed poor commercially despite positive critical reception. The studio would work with Sony Interactive Entertainment for development and publishing their future games, and would go on to develop the Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS series, in addition to Ghost Of Tsushima, which has become one of the fastest selling first-party PlayStation titles, with a feature film adaption currently in production. Sucker Punch would be bought by Sony after the release of inFAMOUS 2 in 2011.

1st Logo (November 17, 1999-October 25, 2011)
Logo: The stylized, stacked words  SUCKER PUNCH  in a custom font, with a star inside the 'P', and the right stem of the 'H' extended to the height of the entire logo. A slanted oval is also seen behind the text.

Variants:


 * Rocket: Robot On Wheels: The  SUCKER PUNCH  text is white with a 3-D effect and black drop shadow on a red oval. The url  suckerpunch.com  is seen below in Comic Sans.
 * Sly Cooper And The Thievius Raccoonus (known as Sly Raccoon in Europe): We zoom out from a shot of the moon, a crow covering part of it (actually Clockwerk, the game's final boss), to reveal a rooftop with a wooden water tower with the Sucker Punch logo on it,  A  and  PRODUCTION  in white above and below respectively. We zoom in as we hear the sound of a glass window shattering. An alarm goes off as a spotlight shines on the water tower and Sly (who can only be seen as a silhouette) jumps out of the window, running across the roof and jumping down near the chimney. We move closer to the tower as the logo fades to black.
 * Sly 2: Band Of Thieves: We start on a shot of a large pyramid in a desert town, which pans to the rooftop of a building. Sly (as a silhouette, like last time) jumps onto the rooftop and runs toward us, being joined by Murray and Bentley. They run past a red billboard on the right with the Sucker Punch logo with  a  and  PRODUCTION  on it not unlike before, just in a more standard font. The three thieves jump to the next building and run off, leaving the billboard on the right before fade-out.
 * Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves: The Thievius Raccoonus (a brown book with golden flourishes) drops down onto a bluish-gray background, dust puffing from it as it hits the surface. It opens up to reveal its pages, and we pan through them before  A SUCKER PUNCH PRODUCTION  (like before, but with the words 'A' and 'PRODUCTION' in Bangers), in addition to two stars, can be seen on the bottom of the right page. Everything but the logo fades out and becomes colorized, with a cream-colored oval and 'A PRODUCTION', black text and red stars. It zooms in as we fade out.
 * inFAMOUS: Segueing from the Sony Computer Entertainment logo with a TV glitch effect, we zoom out through a star-shaped hole cut out of a red background as the Sucker Punch logo (black text on white oval) forms around it. The entire logo looks like it was crudely made with paint as splatters can be seen around it, and everything is on a gray, pavement-like background with red splotches covering it.  A SUCKER PUNCH PRODUCTION  is seen below. A pulse of blue electricity then envelops the logo (referencing the game's main character, Cole MacGrath, and his electric superpowers), turning the logo blue with scan lines, which soon fizzles out.
 * inFAMOUS 2: Starting with a transition like the first game's variant, the screen is blasted with blue electricity, forming the Sucker Punch logo (resembling how it had before with the paint-like design) on a dark gray background. The logo gives off a bit of electricity, and  A SUCKER PUNCH PRODUCTION  appears below. The logo is electrocuted one more time before the logo ends.
 * inFAMOUS: Festival Of Blood: Same as the inFAMOUS 2 variant, except the lightning is red, the background is a stained brown and the oval in the logo is red.
 * The print logo on a black background can be seen on The Sly Collection for PlayStation 3.

FX/SFX: Depends on the variant, but usually 2D animation (in the cases of the Sly Cooper And The Thievius Raccoonus and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves variants), in-engine (in the case of Sly 2: Band Of Thieves) or CG.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the variant. Music/Sounds Variants: TBA

Availability: Seen on Sucker Punch's games from their debut, Rocket: Robot On Wheels, to the PlayStation Network-exclusive inFAMOUS: Festival Of Blood for PlayStation 3.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (March 21, 2014-)
Logo: In a rounded rectangle, we see the abbreviation  SP  in a blocky font, a red star in the 'P' like before. The words  SUCKER PUNCH  are below in Neue Helvetica.

 * inFAMOUS: Second Son: TBA
 * inFAMOUS: First Light: TBA
 * Ghost of Tsushima: TBA

FX/SFX: TBA
