4 DEEP SILVER FISHLABS

For more than 15 years Deep Silver FISHLABS has been creating compelling games that have been brought to life on millions of screens across the globe. We joined the Deep Silver / Koch Media family in late 2013 and, since then, we have continuously raised the quality bar. Today, we are one of three internal development studios run by our parent company, alongside Deep Silver Volition in the US and Deep Silver Dambuster Studio in the UK.

We specialize in high-end 3D games for consoles and PC. With a strong development history and award-winning portfolio of mobile games; such as blockbuster space-action shooter Galaxy on Fire: Manticore and the tactical zombie brawler Dead Island: Survivors; we are currently developing thrilling titles for the PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Creators. Gamers. Professionals.

These three words represent the essence of the studio and the brand. The claim clearly communicates the self- conception of the studio and as what it claims to be recognized in public.

6 About OUR logo

Fishlabs has gone through a handful of signifi cant changes over the years, most recently completing a transition to a fully fl edged console developer. The symbolism communicated by a creature like the shark, fi ts perfectly to represent a game development company on the leap to a AAA studio. The shark (which is a fi sh if you were wondering) never stops swimming, it is ever moving forward. Its aggressive appearance stands for strength, speed and agility - good qualities of a game studio if you ask us!

11 Colors

12 Blue, Black, White

For our branding in general, we favor a darker, moodier color scheme. We stuck with a shade of blue, as it resonates with our Hamburg roots and our legacy branding. Black should primarily be used as a background color, often over- laying images to darken them. White is typically reserved for type. Blue is used as an accent color to highlight type or links, but also for secondary graphics like the logo background banner, patterns or iconography.

13 Typography

14 Type Guidelines

We’ve chosen two typefaces, Bebas Neue and DIN 2014 Regular, both of which have a good variety of font weights. We use Bebas Neue in our logo, it works great for headline elements, and is very ﬂ exible. We found that DIN 2014 Regular pairs nicely with Bebas Neue and is used primarily for body copy.

Here are some typography tips to keep in mind: Keep the headline 3-5 times larger than the body copy and ensure that the text colors have enough contrast.
