Deluxe Digital Studios

1st Logo (2002-2005)
Logo: On a black/white gradient background, a red globe zooms out while rotating. Then, it becomes solid as the word "deluxe" fades on it (forming the Deluxe Corporation logo). "digital" flies out from the circle letter-by-letter, as the texts "design", "compression", "authoring", and "production services", in white, appear under "STUDIOS", which appears letter-by-letter under "ital". The Deluxe logo then flashes, and "A DIVISION OF DELUXE GLOBAL MEDIA SERVICES LLC" fades in.

Variants:
 * A widescreen version exists, which appears on widescreen releases of Universal, Fox and MGM DVDs from the period.
 * A still version without the changing text exists, which is seen on the 2002 DVD of The Money Pit and the 2003 DVD releases of Babe, Empire, Blue Crush, Jaws: The Revenge, The Meaning of Life, The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, the John Hughes High School Reunion Collection DVD set (which included Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science), Midnight Run, Ed (1996), the 2003 re-releases of The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island and The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock, and the "Double Secret Probation Edition" DVD of National Lampoon's Animal House.

FX/SFX: The globe moving, the letters appearing.

Music/Sounds: A synth drone is heard all throughout the logo. When the letters appear, several whooshes and beeps are heard, and a boom is heard at the end. None for the still version.

Availability: The animated version is fairly common, but the still version is rare. Sometimes paired with the Macrovision logo for Universal DVDs.

2nd Logo (2005-2006)
Nickname: "The Grid"

Logo: An iris-in effect brings forth a red/black background with a grid and a continuously scrolling filmstrip that transforms into 1/0 binary codes after reaching the center. The Deluxe Digital Studios logo from before flies faintly from left to right over the background. Then, a transparent square flashes in, where the Deluxe circle zooms out and "digital" and "STUDIOS" slide in from left and right, respectively. The texts "DESIGN", "COMPRESSION", and "AUTHORING" appear above the square, fading in word-by-word while they slowly space out, before ending with "PRODUCTION SERVICES". The codes and text continue to move as the logo fades out.

Variant: On early Universal DVDs with this logo, it is in a crimson red color, and below reads "A DIVISION OF DELUXE LABORATORIES" with red glow. This variant appeared on October Sky: Special Edition, Ray, Meet the Fockers, The Motorcycle Diaries, David Lynch's Dune, Assault on Precinct 13 (2005), and Brokeback Mountain. This variant is extremely rare.

FX/SFX: The binary text scrolling, the flash, the (changing) text fading.

Music/Sounds: A sound that sounds like air blowing, then a loud whoosh sound when the square flashes.

Availability: Uncommon, as this logo was only used for nearly two years.

3rd Logo (2006-2016)
Logo: On a white paper-like background, the Deluxe Digital Studios logo sketches itself in at a bottom angle, before angling itself upward as it zooms out to the center. To the tune of the logo music, the Deluxe logo faintly flashes as all the normal colors begin painting in. With the background now bright silver, the Deluxe circle becomes shiny as a duplicate of the text on it shoots out letter-by-letter. The Deluxe circle flashes again as its color "inflates" inside, while the entire logo then raises to fully render in CGI. At the same time, the background becomes a darker silver metal flooring, with a large blue spotlight shining on the Deluxe logo. The logo's shadow moves from right to left as the flooring shines on top from the opposite.

Variants:


 * On the pan and scan version seen on full-screen only DVDs, the logo starts at the left side and when it angles, it pans until it's centered.
 * On Blu-ray releases, the logo cuts to black instead of fading out.

FX/SFX: Very good CGI, blending both CGI and 2D animation to astonishing results.

Music/Sounds: A piano theme that builds up to a majestic climax and ends with a held-out synth drone and a faint "hiss" with the shine.

Availability: Common.

4th Logo (2016- )
Logo: On a white background, three red swirls fly into the screen as a bright red light moves in to the center of the screen. The swirls form the Deluxe circle from the previous logos, however "deluxe" is in a different font. There are still some swirls in the circle. The "Digital Studios" text is also absent.

 * It does not appear on any Universal Ultra HD Blu-rays as they use a different variant.

Editor's Note: Same as before.

5th Logo (2017-)


Logo: On a white background, a red circle zooms out, which later turns into a globe, and back into the circle with the word "deluxe" in the same font as the previous logo.

FX/SFX: The circle zooming out, and the turning of the circle.

Availability: Only seen on Ultra HD Blu-rays from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, such as The Purge franchise, Sing, the five Jurassic Park films, Despicable Me 3, Apollo 13, The Grinch, The Secret Life of Pets 2, Abominable, and Shrek: 20th Anniversary Edition.
