Robomodo

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Robomodo was a Chicago-based development studio founded in 2008. They are known for developing all of the later titles in the Tony Hawk video game series. The studio either shut down or went dormant in August 2016.

Logo (November 17, 2009-September 29, 2015)

Visuals: There is an anthropomorphic giant robot, rising and standing hands-up in front of several buildings and sunlight, covered by orange and white beams and helicopters. There is the 3D orange text "ROBOMODO" at the front of the robot. Then it falls down, as the screen zooms out of the screen to reveal a studio where the logo is being shot, and a panda-headed person rushes to lift the text on the stage. As it does, the robot raises its hands again, while it turns to the computer screen and zooms to the finished product. The logo shuts down via the TV powering off.

Variant: A still version exists on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD.

Technique: CGI for the logo, and live action at the studio.

Audio: Slightly ominous music with laser sounds, followed by some cardboard sounds. Then, muffled conversations and the struggle at the studio. Once the logo is restored, a robotic voice says "Robomodo", and then a TV powering off.

Audio Variant: On the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, the logo is sped-up, but the audio is at normal speed, making the audio cut off halfway through the robotic voice saying "Robomodo".
