About This File

This is simply a higher quality version of Half-Life 2's valve logo (Open Your Mind from 2007). This version is from the Source SDK Base 2007 but oddly had worse audio quality, but the video was very clean. I used the same method I did for the version I made for Half-Life 1. I took the version from the SDK and mixed it with the FLAC file of the Valve theme from Half-Life's OST and manually trimmed the song to match the logo, giving the logo both higher quality video and audio. The copyright information was used from the original video located in Half-Life 2's directory, so copyright information is consistent with the original. Credits for the video and audio go to valve, I only take credit for merging these two things together.

 

This is not the version that turns its head.

 

Improvements compared to the original:

  • Slightly higher FPS. Now 24.02 instead of 23.98
  • Somehow slightly smaller file size (again)
  • Much cleaner looking video
  • Higher sound quality

Nothing was manually or AI enhanced. What you see and hear is naturally occurring, even the FPS.

 

Installation:

Backups do not need to be made. This uses the Source Engine's custom directory, which means nothing gets overwritten and/or gets reset after an update.

  1. Extract the zip file to <path-to-game>\hl2
  2. launch the game, and the enhanced logo should play.

This can be used for other Valve games also but if you like accuracy, the copyright information may be incorrect as this was made for Half-Life 2.
