Logo (2008-24 March 2009)
Visuals: The camera moves near a two-layered holographic wall consisting of Midway-licensed franchises. The Midway logo appears over it, with "NEWCASTLE" written below. It then flashes into the High Definition Gaming icon on a black background, which zooms out quickly and shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A fast-paced action-packed tune followed by car engine sounds, police sirens, car revving noises. A car crashing sound is heard when the logo transitions into the High Definition Gaming icon, before another car revving sound is heard.

Availability: Appears only on The Wheelman and its trailers.
