'''Monolith Productions''' was founded on October 15, 1994 by Jace Hall, Garret Price, Toby Gladwell, Bryan Bouwman, Brian Goble, Paul Renault, and Brian Waite. According to Goble, the name "'''Monolith'''" was "semi-mysterious, wasn't taken, and was 8 characters". Monolith is known for ''Blood'', ''No One Lives Forever'', ''Condemned'', the ''F.E.A.R.'' series, and ''Middle of Earth: Shadow of Mordor''. Monolith would develop their LithTech engine, and in 2004, they got acquired by [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]]. | |||

'''Logo:''' On a space background, 2 giant slabs pass us and rotate on their sides, with visible diagonal slopes. As the camera passes the slabs, metal faces emerge from the walls and the camera takes a sharp turn around and above the slabs, eventually rotating into place. This reveals a giant monolith with several cuts in it, forming a (very wonky-looking) "M" with several different details. Below it is the text "{{color|red|'''M O N O L I T H'''}}" in an Impact-like font. The monolith shines with a {{color|pink|pinkish}} sheen as it slowly zooms in. | '''Logo:''' On a space background, 2 giant slabs pass us and rotate on their sides, with visible diagonal slopes.
