RenderWare

Background
RenderWare is the massively-used game engine developed by Criterion Studios.

1st Logo (September 9, 1999-2000)
Visuals: On a white background, a C-shaped row of yellow balls appears moving on and surrounded by another row of balls, which just fade in. Then, the text "RenderWare" materialises next to the rings and a gray number "3" zooms back rotating next to "RenderWare".

Variants:
 * There is a still prototype variant which takes place on a black background, and the color rings face down and have a 3D effect. The name (without "3") is below it.
 * There is a still version of the logo with a copyright notice below.

Technique: 2D computer animation. None for the still version.

Audio: A harsh electronic jingle, followed by a rather loud whoosh. The still variants are silent.

Availability: The animated version can be seen on Deep Fighter for Dreamcast and Aqua Aqua for PS2. The still black-background version appeared on TrickStyle, while the still version with the copyright notice can be seen on Rayman Revolution for PS2.

2nd Logo (October 22, 2001-2004)
Visuals: On a light blue background, three colored shapes appear, each accompanied with a name of a RenderWare component, which dissolves immediately. Blue comes first with Graphics, green with Audio and pink with Physics. Then the shapes zoom back and "RenderWare" in a black, shiny font zooms in below them. There is also "PLATFORM" below.

Variants:
 * There are still variants . One of them has a yellow background, and another has a black background and is missing "PLATFORM".
 * On Grand Theft Auto III for the PS2, the logo blurs in on a black background with the "PLATFORM" text. Also, the text is in a light gray font. It then blurs out after a few seconds.
 * On some games, it shares the screen with other logos.
 * Sometimes, the logo is in-credit, in the case of NFL Blitz 20-03.
 * On both Outlaw Golf games, the logo is glowing white and is next to the Bink Video (for Outlaw Golf) or GameSpy (for Outlaw Golf 2) logos.
 * On Tonka: Monster Trucks, only the part of the logo (RenderWare Graphics) is shown.

Technique: 2D computer animation. None for the still variants.

3rd Logo (2002-)
