Running With Scissors

Background
Running With Scissors (also known as RWS) is an American video game developer founded in 1996 by Vince Desi and is based in Tucson, Arizona, after a business decision from kid-friendly game company Riedel Software Productions. The company is best known for the Postal series of controversial games.

1st Logo (September 24, 1997-September 28, 2005)
Visuals: On a black background, we see a dark orange road sign of a man running on a street holding a pair of scissors in his hand. Another sign reads below "RUNNING WITH SCISSORS". The logo is seen with presumably bullet holes shot through the sign.

Variant: On Postal 2 and its expansion packs, the logo is now being held on pole, and on the game's main menu before the options show up.

Technique: None.

Audio: The game's opening theme. Availability: Debuted on Postal, and later on its sequel. It was last seen on the 2015 Postal 2 expansion Paradise Lost.

2nd Logo (December 21, 2011-)
Visuals: Now a bullet shoots through a yellow sign. The sign zooms out to be from the previous logo. As we zoom out, more bullets pierce through the logo, now with the man, now animated, running with the scissors in his hand. As the last bullet hits the bottom left of the "RUNNING WITH SCISSORS" text, the logo flashes and the man freezes still.

Variant: On Postal III, the finished logo moves left, to reveal words that read "IT'S ALWAYS FUNNY UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT...™ ...AND THEN IT'S ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN' HYSTERICAL". Then the text moves to the left of the screen.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Gunshots, followed by police sirens.

Availability: Debuted on Postal III. It can also seen on newer Postal games like Postal Redux and Postal 4: No Regerts.

3rd Logo (December 15, 2022-)
Visuals: The logo turns to the left, as we see the Postal Dude running with a pair of scissors. The bottom part of the logo comes up, reading "RUNNING WITH SCISSORS". The logo then fades to black and then comes back with the original logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A rising tense track, with the footsteps of the Postal Dude running, followed by an end note.

Availability: Can be found on Postal 4: No Regerts, after it went out of open beta and went into public release.
