Deluxe Digital Studios Logo History Custom Variation

Deluxe Digital Studios Logo History Custom Variation:

1st Logo 2002-2005

Nicknames: "The Red Globe", "Deluxe Globe"

Logo: On a black/white gradient BG, a red globe zooms out while rotating. Then, it becomes solid as the word "deluxe" fades on it (forming the Deluxe Corporation logo). "digital" flies out from the circle letter-by-letter, as the texts "design", "compression", "authoring", and "production services", in white, appear under "STUDIOS", which appears letter-by-letter under "ital". The Deluxe logo then flashes, and "A DIVISION OF DELUXE GLOBAL MEDIA SERVICES LLC" fades in.

Variants:

* A widescreen version exists, which appears on widescreen releases of certain DVDs from the period.
* A still version without the changing text exists, which is seen on the 2003 DVDs of *The Money Pit*, *The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas*, *The Dream Team*, *Babe*, *Empire*, *Blue Crush*, *Far from Heaven*, *Jaws: The Revenge*, *Monty Python's The Meaning of Life*, *The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat*, *Green Eggs and Ham*, the John Hughes High School Reunion Collection DVD set (which included *Sixteen Candles*, *The Breakfast Club* and *Weird Science*), *Midnight Run*, *Ed (1996)*, the 2003 re-releases of *The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island* and *The Land Before Time VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock*, and *National Lampoon's Animal House: Double Secret Probation Edition*.

FX/SFX: The globe moving, and the letters appearing. None for the still version.

Music/Sounds: A synth drone is heard all throughout the logo. When the letters appear, several whooshes and beeps are heard, and a boom (most likely a boom from a drum) is heard at the end. None for the still version.

Availability: The animated version is fairly common, but the still version is rare. Sometimes paired with the Macrovision logo for Universal DVDs.

* Seen at the end of Universal releases from late 2002 to early 2005, such as *2 Fast 2 Furious*, *The Cat in the Hat (2003)*, the 2003 DVDs of *Casper* and *The Land Before Time*, *The Fast and the Furious: Tricked Out Edition*, *E.T.

2nd Logo 2005-2006

Nickname: "The Grid"

Logo: An iris-in effect brings forth a red/black background with a grid, a filmstrip and the scrolling 1/0 digital codes. The Deluxe Digital Studios logo from before, flies faintly over the background. Then, a transparent square flashes in, where the Deluxe circle zooms out and "digital" and "STUDIOS" slide in. The texts "DESIGN", "COMPRESSION", and "AUTHORING" appear above the square, fading in word-by-word and the text slowly spacing out, before it stops at "PRODUCTION SERVICES". The codes and text continue to move as the logo fades out.

Variants:

* On early Universal DVDs with this logo, it is in a crimson red color, and below reads "A DIVISION OF DELUXE LABORATORIES" with a red glow. This variant appeared on *October Sky: Special Edition*, *Ray*, *Meet the Fockers*, *The Motorcycle Diaries*, *David Lynch's Dune*, and *Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)*. This variant is extremely rare.
* A widescreen variant exists. DVDs that have this include *The Cabinet of Caligari*, *Valley of the Dolls*, *Beyond the Valley of the Dolls*, and the widescreen releases/sides of *Robots*, *Walk the Line*, *9 to 5: Sexist, Egotistical, Lying, Hypocritical Bigot Edition*, and *Aquamarine* (the fullscreen versions/sides have the standard version). Strangely, it appears on both the widescreen and fullscreen sides of *Little Manhattan*.

FX/SFX: The binary text scrolling, the flash, and the (changing) text fading.

Music/Sounds: A blowing sound, then a loud whoosh sound when the square flashes, and a laser zap when the above texts appear.

Availability: Uncommon, as this logo was only used for nearly two years.

* It was seen at the end of 2005-06 Universal DVDs such as *White Noise*, *Kicking and Screaming*, *The Producers (2005)*, *King Kong (2005)*, *Jarhead*, *The Wedding Date*, *Prime*, *Munich*, *In Good Company*, *Doom*, *Land of the Dead*, *The 40-Year-Old Virgin*, *Inside Man*, *Brick*, *Cinderella Man*, *The Skeleton Key*, *American Dreamz*, *Nanny McPhee*, *Unleashed*, *The Constant Gardener*, *Little Miss Marker (1980)*, *More American Graffiti*, *House M.D.: Season Two*, *The Office: Season One*, *Bring It On: All or Nothing*, *The Wizard*, and the 2005-06 reissues of *The Return of the Pink Panther*, *Marnie*, *Backdraft*, *Jaws*, *The Sting*, *The Frighteners*, *The Blues Brothers*, and *Vertigo*.
* It was also used on 2005-06 DVDs from Fox, such as *Fever Pitch*, *Robots*, *The Cabinet of Caligari*, *Because of Winn-Dixie*, seasons six and seven of *The Simpsons*, *King of the Hill: The Complete Fifth Season*, *Family Guy: Volume Three*, *Night Watch*, *Fantastic Four (2005)*, *Transporter 2*, *Kingdom of Heaven*, *Mr. and Mrs. Smith*, *The Ringer*, *Walk the Line*, *Aquamarine*, *Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story*, *Just My Luck*, *24: The Complete Fourth Season*, *Pet Alien: Spaced Out*, *M\*A\*S\*H: The Complete Ninth Season*, *Like Mike 2: Streetball*, *In Her Shoes*, *The Proud Ones*, and the 2005-06 reissues of *Ice Age*, *9 to 5*, *Young Frankenstein*, *Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid*, *The Towering Inferno*, *The Longest Day*, *The Poseidon Adventure*, *The Fly (1986)*, and *The Fly II*, as well as some Goosebumps DVDs.
* It made an appearance on MGM releases from mid-2005 (before Sony took over distribution), such as *The Ballad of Jack and Rose* and *Beauty Shop*.
* It also appears on the Lionsgate release of *The Barbie Diaries*.
* It even appears on some HBO Video releases from 2005-06, such as *Out of Season*.
* It also appears on the New Line Cinema releases of *Domino* and *Take the Lead*.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo 2006-2016

Nicknames: "The Sketch", "Deluxe Sketch"

Logo: On a white background, the Deluxe Digital Studios logo sketches itself in a tilted position. As the logo tilts itself to the center, its normal colors begin painting in. The Deluxe circle becomes CGI as the text on it shoots out letter-by-letter. To the tune of the logo music, all of the logo then fully renders in CGI as the background becomes a blue/greenish metal flooring. The logo's shadow moves from right to left.

Variants:

* On the pan and scan version seen on full-screen only DVDs, the logo starts at the left side and when it angles, it pans until it's centered.
* On Blu-ray releases, the logo cuts to black instead of fading out.

FX/SFX: Very good CGI, blending both CGI & 2D animation to astonishing results.

Music/Sounds: A piano theme that builds up to a majestic climax.

Availability: Common. It was seen at the end of 2006-16 Universal DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as 20th Century Fox DVDs/Blu-rays until mid-2009 as well as Summit Entertainment releases from 2008-11. Like the previous logos, this logo was paired with the Macrovision logo on Universal DVDs until early 2007. It does not appear on the original release of Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses, but subsequent Barbie titles from this timeframe do have it. Fox DVDs and Blu-rays since 2009 no longer have this logo, with the introduction of the region-specific warning screen.

* It was seen at the end of a lot of Universal DVDs and Blu-rays from late 2006 to early 2016, such as United 93 (on which it first appeared), Flower Drum Song, Heroes: Season One, Hollywoodland, Scoop, The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers, Opus n' Bill in a Wish for Wings, Breach, Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Because I Said So, Children of Men, Evan Almighty, The Break-Up, Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Dallas Buyers Club, Larry Crowne, Sanctum, Cowboys & Aliens, The Kids Are All Right, Man of the Year, Charlie Wilson's War, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, the first three Curious George films, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie, the 20th anniversary edition of Harry and the Hendersons, Leap Year, Land of the Lost (2009), Couples Retreat, Drag Me to Hell, Robin Hood (2010), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Georgia Rule, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Legacy, Balls of Fury, American Gangster, Eastern Promises, Man of the Year, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Mamma Mia!, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Burn After Reading, Public Enemies, Mr. Bean's Holiday, Wanted, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, 9 (2009), It's Complicated, Duplicity, Johnny English Reborn, The Grey, Larry Crowne, Battleship, Side Effects, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Beethoven's Big Break, Snow White and the Huntsman, Safe House, the first two Purge movies, Dracula Untold, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Bruno, Frost/Nixon, Hanna, Dream House, Tower Heist, Little Fockers, The Strangers, The Little Engine That Could, Ride Along, Hop, Bridesmaids, both Ted movies, the first two Despicable Me movies, Minions, Lego: The Adventures of Clutch Powers, The Lorax (2012), Big Miracle, About Time, Dumb and Dumber To, 2 Guns, Riddick, Rush (2013), The Nut Job, Ouija, Silent Hill: Revelation, Homefront, Lone Survivor, Jurassic World, the Fast & Furious sequels from Tokyo Drift up to Furious 7, Fifty Shades of Grey, The Gunman, Lucy (2014), House M.D.: Season Four, The Office: Season Three, both seasons of Lipstick Jungle, Non-Stop, Milk, Oblivion, R.I.P.D., As Above, So Below, The Gift, Unbroken, Blackhat, Seventh Son, My All American, Everest, Crimson Peak, Steve Jobs, The Danish Girl (which is one of the final releases to have this logo), a re-issue of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), the Deluxe Edition of The Mummy Returns, the 30th anniversary edition of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and the first two Pitch Perfect movies, as well as pre-2016 Blu-ray/multi-film set DVD reissues of older Universal products.
