Double Helix Games

Logo descriptions by Enormous Rat

Background: Double Helix Games was a development studio located in Irvine, California. It was established on October 9, 2007 when Foundation 9 Entertainment announced they'd merge The Collective and Shiny Entertainment into a new outfit. The company received its name, selected from a pool of submissions from the team members, on March 27, 2008. In 2014, the company was purchased by Amazon.com, and it was absorbed into Amazon Game Studios.
