Logo: On a blue digital background, we see a silver rectangle briefly shown in original form, before it starts to massively glitch and form other shapes. 10 seconds after it transforms into blue light, as other lights appear and move. Black constructions then move up behind the lights (looking like we are about to move down from an old elevator) as it brakes a few seconds after and the lights form the words "HARTWIG WS" in a digital font. The words shine through and turn silver as the background turns black and the URL wipes in below the wordmark.

Variants:

A short version exists, and only has the text shining through.

After 2005 the logo is seen without URL.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: A frenetic/glitchy electronic drum theme with digital sounds.

Availability: Scarce. Seen on the German PC and XBOX games Duplex, Ferdinand Barney Off-Road Simulator, Contrast Field III, Silent-Studie, Reign Over the District, and Pass Through.

Scare Factor: Medium. The logo is really startling because of it's ridiculous music and animation, and the long length would scare more. But actually this is a cool logo, especially for those interested on early 2000's digital design. None for the short variant.
