Sunflowers Interactive

Background: Sunflowers, founded in 1993, was a game developer and publisher in Germany. On April 11, 2007, Ubisoft took over the company. Since 2008, the Sunflowers name seems not to be used anymore.

1st Logo

(1993-1996)

Logo: A box fades in with a thin green outline and a sunset island landscape inside. The green letters of "SUNFLOWERS" begin to appear one-by-one, taking a lift in the medium part. As they finish, the logo becomes solid orange.

FX/SFX: Appearing letters.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on Nectaris, Magic of Endoria, and Aufschwung Ost.

2nd Logo

(1996-2006)

Logo: On the surface of the Sun, a flare emerges from it as the camera quickly zooms away from it. As it comes into full view, a disk from the bottom of the screen flips from the bottom of the screen and stops in front of the Sun, making a solar eclipse. The disk then rotates towards, revealing its dark blue with an orange rim. It then takes up the whole screen, making the background a dark blue. Rings then wipe in "SUNFLOWERS" in a orange gradient font, along with "the world of entertainment". The latter's rings rotate up in a arc, forming a abstract representation of the sun's outer rim with embers coming off the side, causing the text to turn white.

Variants:
 * On Knights of Honor, the logo just fades in, taking less place on the screen.
 * On early localization for ParaWorld, the logo is still in a 3D button.
 * On Anno 1503/1503 A.D., the animation was shortened to the last seconds.

FX/SFX: The camera zooming, the disc, the sparks.

Music/Sounds: Dramatic note consisting of repeating pair synth beats. Other sounds are heard to the end.

Availability: Seen on Holiday Island, TechnoMage: Return to Eternity, Anno 1503/1503 A.D., Anno 1602/1602 A.D., and the still version was seen on Knights of Honor. During the first few years, a different logo design was used on box covers, but never in the games.

3rd Logo

(2006-April 11, 2007-2008)

Logo: The current "sunflowers" logo written in blue font fades in. The dot above the right side has six arcs over it, which resembles a sun.

FX/SFX: Only the fading.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Anno 1701/1701 A.D. and ParaWorld.
