CRAZYGTASAINT 233 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 So I was looking through old GTAIII trailers and found what is possibly an old Rockstar North logo. It has a sort of native "kilt" design and is in the style of old rockstar logos. This was also during the transition from DMA Design to Rockstar North, so it makes sense. The weird thing is that I can't find it anywhere else online. TheFlareEntercounter, wiizardii, HaythamKenway and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Kalerney 451 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I'm 100% sure I've seen this logo somewhere else ... Ahhh I can't remember where ! I think it was maybe in Vice City ... But I'm not sure. Edited March 12, 2015 by Kalerney Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was maybe in Vice City ... But I'm not sure. You may be thinking of the logo from the opening credits... It is in a similar style but lacks the native kilt design, this was most likely made shortly after. Edited March 12, 2015 by CRAZYGTASAINT Link to post Share on other sites
Kalerney 451 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) ^ No, I was referring to the R* kilt logo as seen in the OP, I'm sure I've seen it in Vice City ... It was on a wall, or something like that ... I'll try to look after it tomorrow. Edited March 12, 2015 by Kalerney CRAZYGTASAINT 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Inadequate 3,739 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) LOL. Nice finds, but this logo was used in the transition from DMA Design to Rockstar North? Other thing, that GTA III trailer is from the PC version? Makes sense... EDIT: Nevermind, is from PC trailer. So that logo was the alpha from the actually R* north logo.

The thing I find confusing is that the game was already released when this trailer came out. So if the game includes all of the updated logos, etc, then why does the trailer use the old ones? It even uses the old GTAIII logo... It makes sense that they have a logo that was rarely used, as this is during the time that DMA was being "re-branded" and were probably just trying to find a good look. But why do they use these old resources when there are new ones already made? Edited March 12, 2015 by CRAZYGTASAINT Link to post Share on other sites

Really, I don't know why are using old stuff, probably the launch date approached very soon and couldn't use the new material. Or something like that, you know is R*. Also the logo for DMA 'rebrand' phase looks nice (the rebrand, if i'm not wrong was between 2001-2002), very rare as well, apparently they didn't have a name in that time and only placed that logo with R* Studios legend before they become Rockstar North.

Following on, maybe that department did not have the correct logos available to them at the time? CRAZYGTASAINT 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Niko Montana 2,019 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I think the logo was in Midnight Club 3 (Another rockstar game), but I'm not 100% sure. You could get the different Rockstar logos as vinyls on your car. Link to post Share on other sites

Spider-Vice 44,584 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 It's the Rockstar Studios logo and not the Rockstar North logo, even though it doesn't make much sense having a kilt texture when the Studios are worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites

Is "Rockstar Studios" just another name for "Rockstar Games" and if so, then why did they use both logos in the GTA trailer??? Link to post Share on other sites

It's just another name for them, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
