Background: Lighthouse was a Netherlands-based international game publisher started in 2005. It went bankrupt in March 2009, when the holding company SilverBirch Inc. folded two months earlier.
(2005-2009)
Logo: A man in orange coat enters the lighthouse building from the rainy outside. He waves his flashlight, then takes the lever and puts it down.Immediately, an electric impulse runs up, by the wires, we follow it quickly and release out. The lighthouse lamp starts to light, the camera zooms out to view all the lighthouse building, standing on a rock around the sea and sending lights. Then it converts into the print picture on the orange background box. LIGHTHOUSE INTERACTIVE appears below.
FX/SFX: The whole animation in the logo.
Cheesy Factor: None. In fact, this logo is one of the best game studio logos existing.
Music/Sounds: Sound of thunder and pulling lever. Then suddenly a dramatic soundtrack starts tied to the impulse running, ending as a peaceful note.
Availability: Still common on many games published, like Keepsake, Avencast, Sword of the Stars and some others.
Scare Factor: None, unless you are scared by a electric impulse environment.
