Nexoft

1st Logo (Penguin Wars variant) (March 30, 1990)
Logo: We see a blank white background. After the ascending series of beeps, the Nexoft logo, which is the word "NEXOFT" in the bold-italic sans-serif font, colored black, with the "<OFT" part horizontally striped, slides down slowly, while a scared penguin is seen running around and then it goes away. The logo shakes when it is stopped, then the whole logo flashes rapidly with the color inversion effect.

Technique: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: A loud menacing square-wave chord, an ascending series of chiptune beeps, then another series of loud, high pitched chiptune beeps that sounds like an alarm when the penguin runs around. When the logo shakes, a "Dong!" sound is heard, followed by a loud thunderclap sound when the logo flashes rapidly.

Availability: Seen only on Penguin Wars for the Game Boy.
