1st Logo

(2003-2004)

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/9a84624f8e1fd2308e8b109459d662ffa498e5b5" width="247"></iframe>

Logo: A thunderstorm happens. One thunderbolt then strikes the surface, causing purple particles to appear, and the words "IGNITION" and "entertainment" to zoom out below. There's some blurring effects on "IGNITION", as it gets attracted by electricity. The electricity then forms the logo, consisting of a picture of thunder on a blue sky. The text moves away, with "for Videogame Redefined" appearing below. The logo disappears as "IGNITION" quickly zooms in slightly.

FX/SFX: The thunder/electricity effects, the blurring text.

Music/Sounds: Just the sounds of thunder and electricity.

Availability: Spotted on their early games including Pool Paradise.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo

(2005-)

Logo: On a white or black background, we see a red circle with a thunderbolt inside. Next to it there's "IGNITION" and "entertainment", stacked like the previous logo.

Variants:

• Before 2007, "for Videogame Redefined" may appear below the logo.
• An animated variant has two characters with thunderbolts meeting. The Ignition logo, along with the "for Videogame Redefined" tagline, fades in above.
• After 2007, the UTV byline would appear below the logo.
• Another animated variant has the parts of the logo fading in and slightly moving.

FX/SFX: None, excluding the animated variants.
