*''Psychonauts'': {{color|Yellow}} clouds are seen against a {{color|red}} and {{color|yellow}} striped background. Something drops down. A closeup reveals that it is the creature, resembling two conjoined {{color|yellow}} babies in an old timey swimsuit. We cut down where in a border "DOUBLE FINE" is in a banner. The creature falls into place. |
|||
*''Epic Saga: Extreme Fighter'': The last bit of the previous logo (the conjoined baby falling into place) is rendered in 8-bit. |
|||
*''My Game About Me: Olympic Challenge'': The conjoined baby falling down is rendered in a plain graphic novel style like the game itself. The baby snorts. |
|||
*''Tasha's Game'': The logo is in an even more cartoony pastel style, and appears without the baby. It appears with a pop. |
|||
*''Host Master and the Conquest of Humor'': The finished logo is in a 16-bit pixelated style and dissolves. |
|||
*''Brutal Legend:'' The logo from before is still, but it is on a {{color|red}} circle on a black background and both heads are wearing bandanas, rocker wigs and Eddie Rigs' clothes with the game's logo on the shirt. |
|||
*''Costume Quest'': The baby is in a forest at night holding trick-or-treat pumpkins, the left head is wearing a witch's hat and skeleton costume and the right head is dressed as Frankenstein's monster. Also, the border is {{color|orange}} and black. |
|||
*''Stacking'': The background is a fancy wallpaper encased in a filmstrip. The left head has a monocle and the right has a hat. |
|||
*''Broken Age:'' On a painted version of the last background, with a mountain added, the creature rises up wearing aviator clothing. The banner rises up soon after. |

Background
Double Fine is a gaming company founded by Tim Schafer in July 2000, shortly after leaving LucasArts. Its first two console games - Psychonauts and Brütal Legend - underperformed commercially despite critical acclaim, almost bankrupting the company. Double Fine could still be kept financially viable however, thanks to the publishing of several in-house prototypes developed into smaller games (these practices were later coined as "Amnesia Fortnights") and crowdfunding through Kickstarter. At Microsoft's E3 briefing on June 9, 2019, it was announced that Double Fine would become part of Xbox Game Studios.
