IO Interactive A/S

Background
Io-Interactive is a Danish video game developer established in September 1998 by prominent film studio Nordisk Film. Io would be acquired by Eidos on March 4, 2004, who themselves would be bought by Square Enix in 2009. The studio would once again become independent in 2017 after a management buyout deal with Square Enix. Io is known well for the Hitman series, in addition to the Kane & Lynch games, Freedom Fighters and Mini Ninjas.

Logo (November 19, 2000-November 20, 2012)
Logo: We see an abstract design consisting of a large circle with two smaller circles on either side, each connecting to the larger with a line, piercing through.  Io-Interactive  is seen below in Futura.

Variants:


 * Hitman: Codename 47: We see smoke come in from the right of the screen, not long before the logo, in 3D, zooms out from a close-up shot while spinning. The logo, barely visible through the smoke, reveals itself and turns into place, becoming a silhouette on a gray gradient background as it settles back.  Io-Interactive  is seen below, albeit miniscule compared to the size of the circles. Another variant is seen during the game's intro, in which the logo in black uncontrollably shakes around behind a red silk stream, which envelops the logo entirely.
 * Hitman 2: Silent Assassin: We move over a transparent black-and-white striped surface (which if you look closely at, many copies of the Io-Interactive print logo can be seen across each stripe), with the logo visible underneath. Suddenly, a light shines and the surface ripples like water as the smaller circles on either end rotate,  Io-Interactive  appearing below, much larger this time.
 * Mini Ninjas: The logo is seen on a black background, with  PRESENTS  to the bottom right. Notably, 'io-interactive' is not capitalized for the first time.

FX/SFX: TBA

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


 * Hitman: Codename 47: A dramatic, evil-sounding choir fanfare which softens as the logo goes on, with only the sounds of the backing string instruments and chanting by the end. The intro variant has a humming noise with heartbeats.
 * Hitman 2: Silent Assassin: A high-pitched choir which then segues to a synthesized organ melody.

Availability: Seen on most Io-Interactive games from the era, notably the original Hitman: Codename 47 to Hitman: Absolution.
