Logo: A blue asteroid zooms to a starfield and blows with a white wave. Then it blows again, making the background white and creating a box around, with "Blue Byte" in a handwritten font smashing below. The animated version of the logo was used from 2001 until 2006.

FX/SFX: None. From 2001 until 2006, the object exploding and words zooming; quite outdated animation for now.

Music/Sounds: None. From 2001 until 2006, sounds of zooming, explosion and words banging. On Anno 1404, the sound effects of the Related Designs logo are heard over the still logo.

Availability: Common. The still version is also wide-spread. It was first used on Great Courts 2 and last seen on the Gamescom trailer for Silent Hunter Online. The animated version was first used on The Settlers IV and last seen on The Settlers II (10th Anniversary).

Editor's Note: None.
