Deluxe Digital Studios

1st Logo (2002-2005)
Logo: On a black/white gradient BG, 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 "production services", in white, appears under "STUDIOS", which appears letter-by-letter under "ital". The Deluxe logo then flashes, and "A DIVISION OF DELUXE MEDIA SERVICES LLC" fades in.

Variant: A still version exists, which is seen on the 2002 DVD of The Money Pit and the 2003 DVD releases of Babe, Empire, The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat, the John Hughes High School Reunion Collection DVD set (which included Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science), Midnight Run 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: Fairly common. 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 the DVDs of Brokeback Mountain, Assault on Precinct 13 (2005), Ray, and Meet the Fockers, "A DIVISION OF DELUXE LABORATORIES", glowing red, fades in below.

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: Quite rare, as it was used just for nearly two years.


 * It was seen at the end of 2005-2006 Universal DVDs such as Kicking and Screaming, The Producers, King Kong (2005), Jarhead, Prime, Munich, In Good Company, Inside Man, American Dreamz, the 2006 DVDs of The Return of the Pink Panther and Backdraft, the 2005 DVD of Vertigo, and the 2-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition of Jaws.

Editor's Note: None.

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: Very common. It's seen at the end of 2006-2016 Universal DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as Fox and MGM Home Entertainment DVDs/Blu-rays until 2009. Like the previous logos, this logo was paired with the Macrovision logo on Universal DVDs until early 2007.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (March 15, 2016- )
Logo: On a white background, 3 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.

FX/SFX: Again, nice CGI.

Music/Sounds: A long whoosh accompanied by twinkling sounds.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (2017-)

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

Music/Sounds: A calming three-note string tune, along with some shining.
