📋 About This Mod

SPINNING VERSION IS HERE!

It took me awhile but it's here now and the logo looks amazing in motion!

I built this mod to make Skyrim Special Edition feel...well, special. This mod attempts to live up to the Special Edition hype. That is, the excitement in terms of quality and visual splendor I was hoping SE would be. While I started out this project with the intention of completely redoing the logo, I changed my design focus when I found the beautiful artistic work lying underneath the current SE logo. After way too many hours spent attempting to restore that original artwork this is the result. To counteract the yellow lighting SE lights up the logo with, I went with an icy, bright aesthetic that I hope gives the logo an ancient-artifact-discovered-in-a-deep-and-icy-crevice-feel to it.

Details4K custom-made normal map, highly-detailed diffuse map, and custom-made-for-performance mesh. Both a spinning version and a non-spinning version are available to download.

Installation
1.  I highly recommend installing either the Full Resolution version or the Performance version using either NMM or Mod Organizer.

2.  I recommend starting out with the Full Resolution version first (if you have a medium to fast pc). This mod won't effect your in-game performance. And if you find your starting load times are a little too long for your liking you can switch to the Performance version.

Compatibility & Performance

  • []This mod is incompatible with any of the mods out there that alter the Skyrim logo that appears at the game's main menu.

    []This mod only effects the time it takes to load the main menu. This mod won't effect your in-game load times.

    []Wondering if a mod is compatible or incompatible with this mod? Install both mods and fire up the game. You'll know the answer to your question as soon as you see the main menu.

    []Wondering if your PC will be able to handle this mod? Download and install the Full Resolution version (Spinning or Non-Spinning version) then fire up the game. If you notice a decrease in the time it takes to load the main menu then download and install the performance version and repeat.
