Digital Eclipse Software, Inc.

Background
Digital Eclipse, also known as Backbone Emeryville from 2003-2012, is a video game company formed in 1992 founded by Andrew Ayre. The studio was known mostly for porting classic arcade games from Williams Entertainment and other producers. In 2003, it merged with ImaginEngine into Backbone Entertainment and ceased to exist as an independent unit, although its name was still used as a cap brand of Foundation 9 Entertainment. In 2012, Backbone closed the studio, but in 2015, the company was revived under Other Ocean Interactive, made up of former Backbone employees. It now exists to fulfill video game preservation and strives to be "the video game equivalent of The Criterion Collection."

1st Logo (Still variants) (1994-June 10, 2009)

Videos=

Logo: On a black background, a stylized solar eclipse is seen, made of a fuzzy white ring around a black circle, with "DIGITAL ECLIPSE" stacked below it.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, "SOFTWARE INC" can be seen below.
 * Sometimes, the ring may be /, as seen on the GBC port of Army Men 2 and Rayman Advance.
 * On Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, and Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for the PSP, we first see a sketchbook. Then a hand opens the book and draws the logo. When finished, the hand turns the page of the book, and the game's opening continues.
 * On Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge and Spyro 2: Season of Flame, the eclipse has a glow effect to it and the name is formed with gradient wipes, before the logo fades to the print logo.
 * A version of it on a white background, contained in a black box, appears on Interstellar Wrestling League for the HyperScan.

Technique: Mostly none, but live-action for the Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1 and Capcom Classics Collection Remixed variant.

Music/Sounds: None, but the Capcom Classics Collection variant has a sound of the book opening and some sketching and drawing sounds.

Availability: Seen on most of their games.

2nd Logo (April 10, 1996-March 1, 2002)
Logo: On a black starfield, a glowing sphere, representing the Sun, zooming in while a dark sphere covers it as well. As it gets fully covered, a lens flare occurs and "DIGITAL ECLIPSE" in Copperplate Gothic emerges from it, rotating around the screen as a fuzzy ring of particles form around the black sun. The sun zooms out, and several seconds later, the particles freeze and fade to white.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Dramatic choir fanfare with synth drones.

Availability: Seen on most of their arcade compilations for PS1 and Dreamcast.

3rd Logo (December 30, 2002-March 17, 2006)

Logo: On a extremely detailed space nebula background, a "techno" version of the Earth with techlines goes through with swoops in an arc. A star then drops down from above, where they overlap each other, and it fades to the print logo.

Variants: A simplified version with a radiating corona on the sun (which fades to white) appears on some GBA games as well, like Namco Museum 50th Anniversary.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A continuous synth drone. None or the opening theme of the game for simplified version.

Availability: Seen on most of their PS2, Gamecube, GBA, and PC titles.

4th Logo (November 7, 2006-April 11, 2007)
Images=

Videos=

Logo: On a black background, the logo flashes in from a white screen, causing a load of particles to spread out from it. The company name and the Foundation 9 byline fade in below, with particles still dancing around. The logo then flashes.

Variants:
 * On Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Collection for PlayStation 2 and PSP, the background is blue after the flash occurs.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Only seen on Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2 and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Collection.

5th Logo (August 24, 2015-)
Logo: On a white, or black background, we see "Digital Eclipse" in the same font as before, except the fuzzy ring is replaced by a crescent. The entire logo is still.

Variant: An animated variant was introduced in Space Jam: A New Legacy: The Game. A closeup of an eclipse forms, creating the crescent. The text fades in, and then static appears on the logo, before the logo ends with a turn off effect.

Technique: Just the logo fading in, and out.

Music/Sounds: None. The animated variant has whooshes and static noises.

Availability: Common. This can be seen on Mega Man Legacy Collection, The Disney Afternoon Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, among others.
