Vision Scape Interactive

Background
Vision Scape Interactive was a game development studio founded by Matt and Tammy McDonald. Along with producing video games, the company acted as an animation studio, producing cinematics for games like Sonic Heroes and MTV's Pimp My Ride, as well as productions for film and television such as the music video for "Bullets" by Creed. The company presumably closed sometime in or after 2006.

(May 4, 2001-2005)
Logo: On a black background, there is a freaky clown standing in a spotlight, thinking about something. He gets an idea and gets a green balloon, which he blows up and makes a balloon dog. He drops the dog, which for some reason becomes alive, and gets a red balloon which he also blows up and he makes a balloon rabbit. He drops the rabbit, which also becomes alive, and gets a blue balloon. He then makes it into a abstract eye symbol, with 3 large eyelashes. We zoom into it as "Vision Scape Interactive" appears with blur effects below as the clown is defocused by the camera.

Trivia: The clown is the mascot of the cancelled skateboarding game Circus Rejects.

Variant: An in-credit version exists on most games where they produced in-game cinematics.

Technique: Good CGI by the standards of an early 2000s video game logo.

Music/Sounds: A slightly melancholy, horn section circus theme with sounds corresponding to the animation, the balloon dog barking, and the clown chuckling at the end of the logo.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on SeaBlade, The Land Before Time: Great Valley Racing Adventure and X-Bladez Inline Skater. It also appears on the unreleased Xbox prototype of the cancelled game Circus Rejects and during the credits of Sonic Heroes.

Legacy: This logo is considered far too creepy for the children's games it appeared on.
