Ultimation

1st Logo (May 15, 1998)


Logo: A bright source of light appears on the screen. It slowly moves down as the 3D word "ULTIMATION" in a custom font lowers and zooms out. When they stop moving, "Serif" fades in above, and "Serif" below the name.

FX/SFX: Only the moving.

Music/Sounds: A gloomy, dull wind-blowing sound.

Availability: Appears only on Panzer Commander.

2nd Logo (November 5, 2001-February 12, 2002)


Nickname: "The Black Saturn"

Logo: We see a black planet floating in space with bright -colored rings. We pan around the planet, and a yellow star comes to stop behind it, creating a light corona around. The logo then flashes and the background changes to black. The logo becomes black and with "ULTIMATION" below in its corporate font.

FX/SFX: The planet and star moving.

Music/Sounds: A synth windy note with heartbeats.

Availability: Seen on Silent Hunter 2 and Destroyer Command.

Final Note
In early 2000's, Ubisoft, the owner of the SSI brand, decided to retire it. Ultimation was gone along with SSI and their website still has the latest update made in 2002.
