NOVEL

Background: NOVEL Inc. is a company founded by Miranda Elisson in 2007 with a participation from AGS. Novel is neither a publisher nor developer - it features the copyright deals of various writings. So the Novel logo can be found in every game and movie connected to the book experience.

(2007 - 2009)

Nicknames: "The Openbook"

Logo/Variants:

Default variant: We zoom to the closed book, which opens and emits light. The name letters fade from beyond with golden tracing effects.

Custom variant: Novel uses different logo for every product. The logo design sometimes is linked to the theme of the production, for example The Houses of Iszm logo was made of leaves and bean pods. Almost every of these logos feature the N letter, designed in special way.

FX/SFX: Good animation CGI.

Music/Sounds: Short piano tune followed by the whooshing sounds.

Availability: The "Custom N" can be found in every game or movie made by AGS and linked to the novels. It's very-very hard to see the default variant. You can find it at the website or in the closing credits of some movies.

Scare Factor: None to Low depending on variant.

(1 December 2009 -)

Nicknames: "The Appeal"

Logo: Zooming through the gray mist, we see the floating words "fulfill the letter". Suddenly the blocks begin emerge from bottom, the camera turns quickly into the rectangular block with N carved inside. The aforementioned slogan comes from the top, while other words "idea to creation" condense from the sides and NOVEL flashes in. The logo slowly zooms out with the mist on background.

FX/SFX: Animated mist and words.

Music/Sounds: An ascending trembling tune, accompanied by the air-chime sounds.

Availability: Tends to be common on games and movies produced by various writings. Can be seen since December 2009, mainly at the ending of the film, but sometimes at the opening too.

Scare Factor: None to Low.
