Robomodo

Background: Robomodo was a Chicago-based development studio founded in 2008. They are infamous for developing all of the universally-panned later titles in the Tony Hawk video game series. The studio either shut down or went dormant in August 2016.

(2009-2016)

Logo: We see an anthropomorphic giant robot, rising and standing hands-up in front of several buildings and sunlight. The background is covered by orange and white beams and helicopters. There is an orange banner "ROBOMODO", a bit folded, standing before the robot. Then it falls, leaving the robot in confusion. We zoom out of the screen to the messy studio where the logo is being shot, and a panda-head man rushes to fix the banner on the stage. As he does, we again turn into the computer screen and see the logo ending.

Technique: The logo animated and studio shots based on live action.

Music/Sounds: A rising soundtrack followed with banner crashing. Then we hear muffled conversations and the struggle at the studio. Once logo restored, a computer voice says "Robomodo".

Music/Sounds Variant: On the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, the logo runs faster than usual, making the audio cut off during the middle of when the computer voice says "Robomodo".

Availability: Seen on the infamous games Tony Hawk: Ride, Tony Hawk: Shred and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5.
