Gremlin Graphics was a Sheffield-based company created in 1984 by Ian Stewart. It was slightly renamed in 1994. In 1997, Gremlin acquired Imagitec Design and [[Rockstar North (UK)|DMA Design]] (creators of ''Grand Theft Auto''), and was itself purchased by [[Infogrames (France)|Infogrames]] in 1999, ultimately selling DMA to [[Take-Two Interactive]]. After this, it became Infogrames' main UK branch. The studio closed in 2003 and most of its former employees went on to create Sumo Digital, while Ian Stewart started [[Zoo Digital Publishing (UK)|Zoo Digital]].

===2nd Logo (''Hogs of War'' variant) (June 8, 2000)===
<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

'''Nicknames:''' "The Armadillo II", "The Lowering Armadillo", "The Hogs of War Logo", "Cut this!"
'''Logo:''' The semi-rectangular Infogrames shape with the text is already on the white background. The logo, in a nice shade of {{color|blue}}, is lowered down via some straps like a cargo crate would be lowered from a crane, and the shadow below it gets bigger and bigger as it appears. The logo is dropped, with the armadillo making an audible squeak of a pig as it lands. Throughout the logo, the stacked text "Studios Ltd Sheffield House" fades in, flipping in letter by letter. The whole logo then cuts to black.
'''FX/SFX:''' The flipping letters, the logo being lowered and dropped, and the shadow getting bigger.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A gentle sounding synth cord, some harps, and it ends with a voice of a pig (voiced by Rik Mayall) saying "Cut this!", and a pig squeal as the armadillo lands.
'''Availability:''' This was a custom variant exclusively made for ''Hogs of War''.
