Logo Captures by CuriousGeorge60

Background: Treyarch was founded in 1996 to develop games. It didn't have a logo until 1998. Activision acquired Treyarch in October 2001. It's first game was Die by the Sword for PC.

1st Logo
(1998-1999)

Treyarch (1998)

Nickname: "The Treyarch Trefoil Knot"

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue 3D trefoil knot with the word "TREYARCH" in yellow with "T" bigger than the rest of the letters below it.

FX/SFX: None. It's a still logo.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the game.

Avalability: Seen on Die by the Sword and Die by the Sword: Limb from Limb for PC.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo
(2000-2001)

Treyarch (2000)

Nickname: "The Shiny Treyarch Trefoil Knot"

Logo: We see the same Treyarch trefoil knot from the previous logo, but there is a glow on the right part of it. The word "TREYARCH" is in a different font this time and it's glowing in blue.

FX/SFX: None. Again, it's a still logo.

Music/Sounds: A virtual-like sound or silent.

Availability: Seen on Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm and Max Steel: Convert Missions for Sega Dreamcast.

Scare Factor: Minimal to Low. The virtual-like sound can catch you off guard.

Final Note: The logo (without the shine) was still used on cover art until 2006.

3rd Logo (THPS Demo Variant)
(2000)

Treyarch (2000) (THPS Demo)

Nickname: "The Matrix Styled Logo"

Logo: We see the blue Treyarch trefoil knot with "TREYARCH" in front of it in a different font. There are very few bubbles around the logo and the logo glows. Also it has The Matrix effect.

FX/SFX: None

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on the demo version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for Dreamcast.

Scare Factor: None; unless The Matrix effect scares you.

4th Logo (THPS/THPS2 Variant)
(2000)

Treyarch (2000)

Nickname: "The Graffiti Styled Logo"

Logo: We see the Treyarch trefoil knot in grafiiti style with the orange-yellow gradient outline tilted facing northeast. On it, we see "Treyarch" in a Graffiti styled font with a green outline. Under "Treyarch" is the website URL. The logo flashes orange and green colors. Then parts of it side by side. Then it flashes again. Then the colors disappear in a snake transition.

FX/SFX: The animation in the logo.

Music/Sounds: A hip-hop music with the man saying "Get Down" at the beginning.

Availability: Appears on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for Dreamcast.

Scare Factor: None to low. The hip-hop music and the colors can catch you off guard.

5th Logo (Spider-Man Variant)
(2001)

Treyarch (2001) (A)

Nickname: "The Shiny Metal Logo"

Logo: We see the gray metal Treyarch trefoil knot. Under it is "TREYARCH" in a Spider-Man movie-like font. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: The shining of the logo.

Music/Sounds: A virtual-like sound with a shining sound.

Availability: Seen on Spider-Man for Dreamcast. It also surprisingly appears on PC and Mac versions of the game.

Scare Factor: Low.

6th Logo (THPS2x Variant)
(2001)

Treyarch (2001) (THPS2x)

Nickname: "The 3D Blue logo"

Logo: On a black background, the black and white parts of the 2nd logo come in and attach themselves. Then it shatters down to reveal the blue 3d version of the 2nd logo. Then "TREYARCH" pans down turning as the Treyarch trefoil knot zooms through us rotating.

FX/SFX: Cool CGI.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Seen on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x for Xbox.

Scare Factor: Medium.

7th Logo (NHL 2K2 Variant)
(2002)

Treyarch (2001) (B)

Nickname: "The Circle/Trefoil Knot Transformation"

Logo: We see a blue 3D circle on a icy ground. Then it shakes then it faces up.then it flips the sides of it becoming the Treyarch trefoil knot. When that happens, it shines. As the logo zooms back, the icy ground dissappears and the brown 3D version of "TREYACH" in the same font from the 2nd and 6th logos appears zooming out and stops under the logo.

FX/SFX: Great CGI.

Music/Sounds: Another virtual-sound with sounds of circle turning into a trefoil knot and shining.

Availability: Seen on NHL 2K2 for Dreamcast.

Scare Factor: Low to Medium.
