FX/SFX: All in good CGI.

Music/Sounds: A soothing low melody using traditional aboriginal instruments.

(2005-2010)Krome Studios - CLG Wiki

Logo: The logo zooms in with a trail effect, mostly in white and red colors, centered on the red sphere inside "O" letter. The trail absorbs into the logo and it becomes completely sharp black with white outline, and the word "STUDIOS" is white.

Variants:
  • Later, the logo appeared in a shine, made as a sped-up version of the described action, and it was altered to gain volume effect. The red button is clearly 3D.

Logo: On a pixelated (and animated) space background, many parts of the word "KROME" (in its corporate font and also pixelated and in the form of little white spaceships) come together to form the logo. Once they do, the background flashes, turning the logo into the same one as the previous logo and turning the background into a black one. "STUDIOS" fades in below.

FX/SFX: The spaceships forming the logo, along with the animated background, the flash, and "STUDIOS" fading in.
