Deep Silver
Background
Deep Silver is a publishing label of German-Austrian game company Koch Media created in 2002. Its parent company was acquired by THQ Nordic in February 2018.
1st Logo (May 2, 2003-April 8, 2011)
Logo: We see a beaming blue light, and multiple letters fly beyond to form the name "DEEP SILVER". Before they complete, a dark form appears over the light source, whirls and becomes silver, showing a triskelion (a three-end solstice figure) with a light 3D effect. The name below is also silver, and the "E" letters miss their middle vertical parts.
Variant: There is a different animated version where the logo blasts the screen.
FX/SFX: The logo forming.
Music/Sounds: A mild whoosh.
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (September 6, 2011-)
Logo: We see a big silvery crystal breaking off and revealing the triskelion logo inside, taken into a box. There, the triskelion figure is white on a black square, and the name in two lines is situated below.
Variants:
- On The Dark Eye, the logo is panning over a sepia-paper background.
- The logo can be color-reversed.
- Before 2013, it was still or zooming only.
FX/SFX: The animation of the breaking crystal. The zooming in for early variants.
Music/Sounds: Sounds of crushing and a short low-pitched beeping tone.
Availability: Current. Appeared on Risen 2, Dead Island, and Summer Stars 2012 (still) for Wii. The sepia version was seen on The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav.
Editor's Note: None.
