Russobit-M

Background
Russobit-M was the biggest Russian game localizer. In 2011, they stopped making games and concentrated more on selling tablets. The company finally ceased its operations in 2013.

1st logo (1999?-2011)
Logo: A streak of light comes in and reveals " Русс бит-М " (instead of "О", there is a stylized disc-musical note combo that forms rounded rectangle between " Русс " and " бит-М "). "ПРОЕКТ-МУЛЬТИМЕДИА" flies underneath the words and the shape.

Variant: There is a still version also used on the covers. "ПРОЕКТ МУЛЬТИМЕДИА" can be replaced with the website sometimes.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A squealing whoosh ("Ancient Mind" off Spectrasonics' Distorted Reality 1 sample CD) followed by a pulsing chord when the streak comes, followed by a glass shard-like noise mixed with a UFO-ish sweep ("Glass Bender" and "Saucers", both off the aforementioned Distorted Reality 1 sample CD) when the words underneath come.

Availability: Seen on most of the games that Russobit-M has localised.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd logo (early 2000s?-2003)
Logo: On a black background with an "old film effect", white outlines draw the outlines of the same logo as before (but it's also in English: "Russ(o)bit-M" and "MULTIMEDIA-PROJECT" (it shines a few times). The logo disappears, and then it reappears with a white glow behind it in color. The glowing disappears. The website address appears in the bottom right corner.

FX/SFX: The effects and the logo forming.

Music/Sounds: A majestic tune (which sounds like a mix of a majestic fanfare and a march) that has been cheaply looped.

Availablity: Seen on several educational games of the period and the Russian localisation of Chaser (2003).

Editor's Note: None.
