 Background : THQ Studio Australia is the Australian-development arm of the video game company, THQ. The studios was founded in Brisbrane, Australia and developed games that uses a license from Nickelodeon, such as Jimmy Neutron and SpongeBob Squarepants.

1st Logo

(2004-2007)

 Nickname : "Mosaic Australia"

 Logo : On a black background, we see the 2001 THQ logo fade in and zoom out. Two red square pixel-like dots come from the left as they leave a trail that forms a mosaic version of Australia in white. The THQ logo then superimposes itself onto the continent. Suddenly, an explosion occurs that cause the mosaic dots to float around the THQ logo. The dots come back together to form the same Australian mosaic again, with the studios' 2 hometowns marked in red. The words "developed by" fades in above while "studioaustralia" fades in below. The words shine as we fade out.

 FX/SFX : The dots moving, and the mosaic flying around.

 Music/Sounds : A whoosh as the THQ logo zooms out, random computer-like noises when the dots draw the mosaic, a jet-engine starting during the dots appearance, a synth explosion when the mosaic explodes, and a synth whoosh the the dots come back together. A low-pitched gong-like sound is heard when the logo is completed.

 Availability : Rare. Can be seen on different Nickelodeon related games released by the company, examples include Avatar: The Burning Earth and ''SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants!  The logo can also be seen on the studios' first Nickelodeon game, Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Attack of the Twonkies''.

 Scare Factor : Minimal, but can be raised a little higher for people who are not fans of glitchy sounds in darkness.

More coming soon...
