Team Bondi (Australia)

Background
Team Bondi was an Australian game studio based in Sydney, Australia founded by Brendan McNamara. The studio is known for their sole game L.A. Noire, which was developed and published in partnership with Rockstar Games. While L.A. Noire was both a critical and commercial success, due to the studio's troubles in finding a publisher and investor for their planned second game Whore Of The Orient after WB Games had dropped the project, in addition to reports of the mistreatment of employees during the long-winded development of L.A. Noire, Team Bondi would shut down.

Logo: On a backdrop of a dark, cloudy sky (appears to be during either sunrise or sunset), we see a large, 1940s style neon sign perched on top of a building. The sign flickers on from top to bottom, revealing a circular design resembling a white ocean wave in a blue circle. Below that is  TEAM BONDI  in a more modern font,  SYDNEY ⬤ AUSTRALIA  at the very bottom, seperated with a circle in the middle. The sign flickers back off as we fade out. Throughout the logo there are also several film scratches and other effects to resemble aged/deteriorated film.

FX/SFX: The neon sign lighting up, and the film scratches, done in CGI (although it could have been done in the game's engine).

Music/Sounds: A four-note, depressing jazz tune that ends in a piano flourish (which is carried over from the game's Rockstar logo), coupled with the buzzing of a neon sign.

Availability: Appears exclusively on the original version of L.A. Noire for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The logo was removed from the 2018 rerelease of the game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, likely due to the studio going defunct.

Editor's Note: None.
