TalonSoft

Background
TalonSoft was a wargame publisher based in Baltimore, created in 1995 by Jim Rose from Avalon Hill. They were acquired and merged into Take-Two Interactive Software in 2000, but the brand was dragged idle until it was dissolved in 2005. Matrix Games acquired rights for TalonSoft's games that year.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Was seen on the Battleground series.

2nd Logo (1997-2005)
Logo: An iron eagle figure is seen zooming, with a square flipping vertically behind it, then they join and zoom out together. The word "TALONSOFT" appears below, colored in the same colors as before, and expanding over the square's borders.

 * A still version exists.
 * The later version has the name in white, which expands to the box's borders.
