Hello…How do you get the affect of something being drawn in like the logo on the site for the Thief. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Thats a nice intro, some nice bleach fades,

anyway, its drawn so fast its hard to make out. The actual title: Theif i can’t make out. They could just use some masking and then use some filter effects to make it look nicer. Some of the lines could just be vectors using frame by frame animation.
