LucasArts/Logo Variations

This page represents the custom variants of the "golden man" or "golden guy" logo by LucasArts, used from 90's until 2005, and the new logo used since 2005. These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Lucasfilm Games, with more to be added overtime.

Afterlife (1996): The Star Wars: Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire variant plays in full on a black background, except the logo moves down after as a purple desert background appears behind it. A large, flaming fissure opens beneath the logo and the shield falls in. The Golden Guy attempts to escape by flailing his arms, but falls in. A beam of light comes out of the pit as the Golden Guy rises back out as a winged angel, and flies up.

Outlaws (1997): The logo appears out of a cloud of smoke.

Grim Fandango (1998): The Golden Guy fades to a skeleton version of himself, and the arc is also skeletonized. The word 'Presents' appears below.

Star Wars Rebellion (1998): The logo is lower and the arc is compressed above.

Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance (1999): Two space vessels pass close to the logo and make it flip.

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (1999): A golden square with many moving gears moves onto the screen, each with a picture on them which shines a blue light and lines up to reveal an Indy version of Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. 'LUCAS' comes in one by one by one on the left, and 'Arts' appears on the bottom. On the Nintendo 64 version, the name disappears and the box turns over to reveal the Factor 5 logo.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D (1999): Two TIE Fighters chase the glider around the giant landscape which later pans over to the LEC logo. The TIE Fighter crashes the logo.

Star Wars: Force Commander (2000): The turret is chased by an armored tank through the rainy canyon. The action then pans over to the LEC logo which first appears with the light beaming through all letters.

Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles (2000): The logo rises with a deep orchestral theme, then the man is shot with a laser and comes to life, drawing his sword and jumping into the screen.

Star Wars Episode 1: Battle for Naboo (2001): Two droids chase the golden man flying on the personal gliders. They bump into the standing LEC logo, which later falls proceeding to the Factor5 logo. The animation is made using polygons rather than videostream.

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (2001): The logo is viewed through the scope standing on a desert landscape. Then enemies pop up and destroy the scope. The logo reappears fullscreen.

Star Wars: Starfighter (2001): The glider passes by and makes the man lose contact with his arc. Then he appears on the pit of the flying glider.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II (2001): A gathering of clones appear dancing on a pattern that resemble the figure of golden man viewed from the top.

Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter (2002): A paper sheet lands on the screen and the man takes it, makes the paper airplane and launches it. The real airplane returns and the man hides to save his life. Once off-screen, the airplane returns again as the paper sheet. The man takes it and turns it into the arc.

Star Wars: Racer Revenge (2002): Racing pods crash through the logo, then several repair droids appear carrying the parts.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2002): An army of golden men seen on the march, carrying their arcs on the shoulders. They zoom out to the normal logo.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (2002): The golden man is distracted by flying jet, and is kidnapped by a bounty hunter. His arc falls down. The bounty hunter takes the place and creates the arc above.

Gladius (2003): The arc turns into a sword. The golden man takes the sword and poses with it, until lightning hits him. Then he returns the sword, where it becomes an arc again.

RTX: Red Rock (2003): We see deserts of Mars, where the sand reveals the logo without the man. A robot appears inside and is shot. Then the golden man appears in its place.

Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic (2003) and its sequel (2004): The logo appears as a green outline and fills with color using the same effect as the Lucasfilm logo.

Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy (2003): The arc turns into two swords, the golden man takes them and deflects several shots, them absorbs an energy strike and turns into the normal logo again.

Secret Weapons Over Normandy (2003): Two air jets chase each other and the golden man cover himself, then takes relief and creates the arc above.

Armed and Dangerous (2003): Three golden men are seen on the logo, one of them drinking. He launches his cup into the air, two men clear out and the remaining one begins shooting the cup until it falls.

Star Wars: Republic Commando (2005): The logo appears though flickering white noise.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005): The logo zooms in slowly with the light and Darth Vader's breathing can be heard.

Thrillville: Off the Rails (2007): We see a blue bumper cart with a guy in the seat, and a red bumper cart with a girl, and they move down the rails into each other. They do not crash, but make the LucasArts logo light up at the moment that they meet, and they continue moving.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008) and its sequel (2010): We see a 3D version of the golden man jumping from the left side of the screen, he throws a red lightsaber (which is Starkiller's (the main protagonist of The Force Unleashed) lightsaber) to the left, then it circles around and cuts the ring arc over the top of the Golden Guy. The Golden Guy then uses Force Lighting (a move from the game) to draw out the Lucasarts name below, and then uses a force push to finalize the logo. Then he moves into his traditional stance.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (2009): We see golden man performing tricks disguised as Indiana Jones, escaping from the stone ball and chainsaws. Then he jumps into the screen with the hat and the bag, and is shot with several pickets, which form the arc. He then jumps off the lower darts and moves into his traditional stance, forming the logo.
