Oddworld Inhabitants

Background: Oddworld Inhabitants is a video game company started in 1994 whose sole output so far has been titles in the Oddworld franchise. They have hoped to make an animated movie called Citizen Siege (which would have been be their first non-Oddworld creative output in any form) and some games in said films universe but the 2008 recession killed the projects along with an Oddworld film.

1st Logo (1997)

Logo: On a hieroglyphics wall, the logo, a glass blue O with a yellow W in front, fades in. "ODDWORLD INHABITANTS" wipes itself above this. This fades out.

FX/SFX: The fading and wiping.

Music/Sounds: A timpani hit leading into an ominous orchestral bass line (which is actually "Unearthly Visit" from Zero-G'sCuckooland: Ghost in the Machineoff the Altered States sample library) and a whooshing sound.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1998)

Logo: We see the OW silhouetted in an aquatic environment with bubbles at the top,. The silhouette slowly starts to fade into the logo proper. Bubbles on the top form a waving "ODDWORLD INHABITANTS" which settles. The entire screen is shortly after engulfed by a water effect.

FX/SFX: The bubbles, text, and water.

Music: Same as last logo, but muffled and with bubble sounds. When the screen is engulfed a large bubbling is heard.
