Deep Silver

Background
Deep Silver is a publishing label of German-Austrian game company Koch Media created in 2002. Its parent company was acquired by THQ Nordic in February 2018.

1st Logo (May 2, 2003-April 8, 2011)
Logo: We see a beaming blue light, and multiple letters fly beyond to form the name "DEEP SILVER". Before they complete, a dark form appears over the light source, whirls and becomes, showing a triskelion (a three-end solstice figure) with a light 3D effect. The company's name is also, and the "E" letters lack their middle vertical parts.

Variant: There is a different animated version where the logo blasts the screen.

FX/SFX: The logo forming.

Music/Sounds: A mild whoosh.

Availability: Common.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 6, 2011-)
Logo: We see a big silvery crystal breaking off, revealing the triskelion from before, now inside a box. The triskelion figure is black on a white square, and the company name, with "DEEP" stacked over "SILVER", is below the box. All of this rotates to face the camera.

Variants:
 * On The Dark Eye, the logo is seen over a sepia-paper background.
 * A color-reversed version exists.
 * Before 2013, this logo was either still, or was just zooming in.
 * On Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell (2015), the logo appears over a fiery background with flying sparks and looks rusted.

FX/SFX: The crystal breaking and the logo rotating to face the screen. For the early version, just the logo zooming towards the screen or none.

Music/Sounds: Sounds of crushing and a short low-pitched beeping tone.

Availability: Current. Appeared on Risen 2 and has since appeared on other games from the company. The variants can be seen on The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell.

Editor's Note: None.
