3rdSense

Background
3rdSense is an Australian game production company well-known for producing both online and download-able flash games, mainly the successful Swords & Sandals franchise, formed in 2001. The company is the one behind the online games site fizzy.com. The company didn't have an animated logo, until Swords & Sandals III: Solo Ultratus came out in 2008.

1st Logo (2008-2012)


Note: An audio-only file of this logo can be heard here.

Logo: We see a white-turned black background, which later filled by pieces of a fingerprint come out from all of directions, spinning and form themselves into a glowing white fingerprint. Then, the text "3rdsense" from the middle of the fingerprint zooms in a bit, and zooms out in order to positions itself while the background turns white again and the fingerprint dims and turns blue. After that, the borderlined URL "www.3rdsense.com" fades in.

FX/SFX: The color-changing BG, and the forming of the logo.

Music/Sounds: A thunder sound, followed by whooshes when the pieces are spinning and about to forming, and a deep (and ominous) whoosh when the texts appear. Depending on your loading time, it may be accompanied by the opening theme of the game.

Availability: First seen on Swords & Sandals III: Solo Ultratus, and possibly other games from 3rdSense during the era. Don't expect to see this on Swords & Sandals IV: Tavern Quests, as it skips the intro to the game.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2012-)
Logoː We see a small blue square on a white background. It turns to the right, which forms to an Irregular Hexagon facing horizontally. Another Square appears & forms to an Irregular Hexagon, only this time, pink. Another Square appears, but yellow, turns into a smaller irregular hexagon, facing vertically instead of horizontally. The Shape Combo go to the left as the grey text "3RDSENSE" goes to the right. The text shines before disappearing in a vertical effect.

FX/SFXː The shapes & the text animating. All done in decent animation.

Music/Soundsː The Opening Theme

Avaiabilityː Can be seen on games at the time, such as Swords and Sandals. It can also be seen on there demo on YouTube.
