Background

Havok is a physics engine and middleware software suite.

Logo (2000?-)

Visuals: On a white background, there is a sheet covering something. The sheet is removed, revealing the word "havok" in black, with a circular saw blade replacing the "o", embedded into the ground. The logo becomes 3D and black particles can be seen near the blade.

Variants:

Starting in 2005, the logo is 2D, and the saw blade is not embedded, indicates that its full model is shown.
A still variant exists for both the 2000 and 2005 variants.
A copyright notice usually appears below.
Sometimes, the logo can be either entirely white or yellow.
The still logo sometimes shares the screen with other logos. Here are a few examples:
- On 50 Cent: Bulletproof, the logo is included alongside the logos for Sofdec and ADX.
- On Sonic Generations, the yellow logo is shown on a black background beneath the Dolby Digital logo.
- On WWE Crush Hour, the logo is on a grey background alongside the logos for RenderWare and SoundMAX SPX.
- On Starsky and Hutch, the logo shares the screen with those for RenderWare and Bink Video.
On MegaRace 3, a silver plate rotates into its position and reveals that it has the logo with "POWERED BY" above the logo. Also, the saw blade is not embedded, just like the later variant of the logo.
- A similar variant is also used on Darkwatch, albeit still, shares the screen with other logos and "powered by" is in a different, lowercase font. The logo also appears to be using the early version.

Technique: CGI. A still, digital graphic for the still variants.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on video games that utilize the Havok physics engine (though most games don't use a logo at all).

The animated logo was seen on Backyard Wrestling 2 as well as games published by Data Design Interactive, such as Hamster Heroes.
