That's a pretty awful trailer, I'm glad I never saw it before playing the game.
My main gripe being that it gives away important parts of the story that you shouldn't know before starting.

"I came to watch you die."

I doubt back then you had many people overanalyzing the trailer to make out obscure details such as that. Given the video quality, you can barely read the blurry text in the second it's shown; it's only because you've played the game before that you recognize the conversation and know exactly what she's saying, so your mind fills in the blanks.

Sure, I can tell what the locations were of every shot in the trailer now, but I didn't know a majority of what the hell I was looking at before playing the game.

Anyway, I just realized that the guy who uploaded that copy lopped off the credits I was talking about that I assumed were in there

, so if you want to see proof that it was the real thing, look here at 3:30 on.

I made a for reals 20 minute logo.

It could be better, but hey, it's something?

Interesting...
Though I don't like how the 'HDTP' text overlaps the word 'Project'
Also if that was shrunk down to be a website banner the text would be way to small
Otherwise I think it looks good.

You guys are an absolute riot

How cool - thanks for the contributions so far - wonderful stuff folks!

I have to say I love this logo (could you add TP to the end to make it full HDTP?

). It's clean and to the point AND it could be transferred to any background. I love this! Good work Vivaladan!

In fact scratch that - I could replicate this myself

Excellent!

I realise that. But still, if someone did pay a lot of attention to it...
For a game like Deus Ex, I think the less you know going in, the better. Makes it kind of hard to sell the game, though, if you can't tell people what it's about!

If you overanalyse a trailer purely to provide yourself with spoilers, I think you should feel pretty stupid if you then get annoyed because you discover spoilers.

You know, just fyi.

Aww, I missed metche saying that she'd fix it until after I...

Tahoma seems to fit best.

You rock fragbait you rock man

What does everyone else think? Has it got legs (metaphorically speaking), gentlemen?

I love it.

IMHO it's not "Deus Ex" really... It's a nice enough logo, but it looks bland, especially when stretched out to fit the "TP". Plus, HDTP doesn't really mean much without the Deus Ex in front of it... I mean, it could be the High Definition Turtle Portcullis, for all we know. I definitely think that adding some sort of DX logo to the HDTP logo would make it clearer what HDTP is and also spic up the logo a bit.

The look's nice but i agree with Dr. Shotgun.

Here's what i came up with this afternoon imbetween some modelling.

The shading on the other HDTP looks much better imo but you get the general idea, and the sub text i'm not really sure about either but thought even with just the DX symbol it still needed some explaining.
