Vatical Entertainment

(1999-November 30, 2001)
Logo: On a black or white background, a brushstroke red "V" can be seen above the text "VATICAL ENTERTAINMENT", all stacked up. The "V" and "L" are bigger then the rest of the letters, and "ENTERTAINMENT" is in a more generic font.

Variants:
 * Earlier Game Boy Color games, including the Game Boy Color port of Vigilante 8 (the first game to have this logo), the logo appears to have some dimension to it. "PRESENTS" is also seen below.
 * Some later Game Boy Color games from the company have the logo on a white background with Published by above and LICENSED BY NINTENDO below, including Top Gear Pocket 2 and Déjà Vu I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding.
 * An early animated variant appears on the PlayStation port of Tiny Toon Adventures: Toonenstein - Dare to Scare!, where the "V" is wiped in on a white background. The "V" zooms out to the upper part of the screen, where the name in black appears below a few seconds later. It also appeared on the PlayStation port of Polaris SnoCross, but on a black background, no zoom out, and with "presents" below, before fading to the Vicarious Visions logo at the time. The latter variant was still on the Nintendo 64 version.
 * On Iron Soldier 3, a lens flare draws in the "V" like the other animated logo, though the other way around, as the "VATICAL" name rotates in and "ENTERTAINMENT" zooms in.
 * On Sea Doo HydroCross, a wave of thunderclouds come in and lightning strikes into existence the "V". The name blurs in, and the storm fades out.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The early animated variant has a ethereal synth note with a whoosh for the "V", and a low-toned piano tune for the name appearing.
 * Polaris SnoCross used a synth drone with 2 whooshes for the wiping.
 * Iron Soldier 3 used a echoing clang with a twinkle at the end.
 * Sea Doo HydroCross had simple roaring thunder.

Availability: The still version can be seen on all their Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color titles, while the animated variants appeared on the games mentioned in the variants.
