South Park Digital Studios

Background

South Park Digital Studios was founded in 2007 as a joint venture between Matt Stone and Trey Parker's South Park Studios and Viacom (now Paramount Global) to license and produce games and digital content based on the South Park franchise, in addition to licensing the series to streaming services such as Hulu and Max.

1st Logo (October 7, 2009)

Logo: On a black background, we see Eric Cartman's eyes in a rectangular box with the text "SOUTH PARK" next to it, and "DIGITAL STUDIOS" below it. This looks similar to South Park Studios' original logo.

Variant: On the second trailer of South Park: The Stick of Truth, Cartman's eyes are closer to the border. Also, the logo is slowly zooming forward.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None. The opening theme of the trailer for a variant.

Availability: Seen on South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play and the second trailer of South Park: The Stick of Truth.

2nd Logo (March 30, 2012-)

Logo: On a black background, we see four blocky, abstract shapes that represent the main characters of South Park (Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick in that order). "SOUTH PARK DIGITAL STUDIOS" is seen below in a white, retro pixel font.

Trivia: As of 2020, the logo is also used for the South Park website, as it is also operated by South Park Digital Studios.

Variants:

On South Park: The Fractured But Whole, the "SOUTH PARK DIGITAL STUDIOS" text is drawn in a line-by-line printer effect.
On South Park: Tenorman's Revenge (the first game with this logo), the background is dark grey.
On a trailer of South Park: Phone Destroyer, the flame progresses to the logo, which is shown alongside the Ubisoft Entertainment and Redlynx logos.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None

On South Park: The Stick of Truth, we hear a fast, upbeat, six-note guitar sting that is heard on most episodes of the show.
On South Park: The Fractured But Whole, we hear printer sounds as the text appears.
On a trailer of South Park: Phone Destroyer, the narration is used.

Availability: Seen on every South Park game since South Park: Tenorman's Revenge, with South Park Pinball being the only exception.
