Draft:Auran

Background
Auran was an Australian PC game company best known for making and distributing the Trainz series. After the flopped release of Fury in 2007 (Australia's most expensive game at the time) lost the company AU$8.3 million, Auran declared bankruptcy. The failing Auran was bought by long time Trainz fan Tony Hilliam and operates today as N3V Games (short for N3VRF41L).

Technique: The in-game footage of Original Trainz and some CGI.

2nd Logo (2003-2004)
h6oIt73KN0E Visuals: There is a gray floor on the bottom, as the camera slowly moves and we see two logos levitating on top of the floor. One is the Auran Jet logo, consisting of an abstract-looking red/white jet with the name written below on cursive, and the other is the Auran logo, consisting of a blue U-like arc with a semi-circle inside the bottom part of it and the word "AURAN" below. Eight aliens start to run into the logo, and then join themselves to involve in a religious ritual. A few seconds after, a cyborg appears crashing with the Auran logo, and then goes to the Auran Jet logo, as the other aliens start to run away and the cyborg goes to the screen and attacks it while the screen fades to white.

Trivia: Auran Jet is the name of the engine the games run on.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: A dense synth note once the screen fades in, then we hear the sounds of the aliens running, praying and touching the floor, and then the sounds of the cyborg attacking afterwards.

Availability: Seen on Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 and every edition of said game.

3rd Logo (2005-2006)
Visuals: On a dark blue-black gradient with a faint photo of a train, there is the Auran logo from the last logo in blue.
