    Bayonetta 3 variant (logo is at 9:59 for the video)


Visuals: Over a white background is various moving silhouettes of different parts of the PlatinumGames logo (a "P" with a star-like sideways cross on top of it) with multicolored pieces, including balls and smaller "P+" logos, flowing inside of the logo. Some of the silhouettes include a "P" inside a flipped "P" and a sideways cross with a "P" on top of it. Eventually, the silhouettes settle down, and the sideways cross moves and turns a black/silver gradient color. As this happens, the same color fades into the P. The company name does not appear.

Trivia: According to their website, the studio's name was chosen due to represent their goals of exceeding fan expectations and creating games of the highest quality possible, platinum being a metal of high quality and everlasting lustre. The ''P+'' symbol is based off the atomic symbol for platinum, ''Pt'', and the studio's values of performance, possibility, pride and trust. The star shape is a representation of Polaris, better known as the North Star, famous for guiding explorers venturing into new territories throughout history.

Variant: On Bayonetta 3, the logo appears on the window of a cafe during a cutscene. Like the preceding Nintendo logo, the shape the logo is on is highlighted, as the logo floats away from the window and shines.

Technique: 2D animation. CGI for the Bayonetta 3 variant.

Audio: A futuristic synth theme. On the website, this logo is silent.

Availability: Seen on all PlatinumGames releases so far, starting with MadWorld.
