Kirin Entertainment

1st Logo (September 30, 1994)


Logo: On a black background, we see a white swirl. The swirl "unwinds" to reveal the Kirin Entertainment logo (a bunch of white planks with screws in them that form the letters that spell "KIRIN", and the word "ENTERTAINMENT" (with part of the A, all of the I, and part of the second N covered up by the tip of the R in "KIRIN"). After about six seconds, the Kirin Entertainment logo "winds" back up again into another white swirl.

FX/SFX: The "unwinding" and "winding."

Music/Sounds: A synth-like tune that tries to be seductive but fails (and becomes unintentionally creepy), followed by an electronic voice saying the company name followed by an unintelligible chanting.

Availability: Only seen on the infamous Plumbers Don't Wear Ties for the 3DO.

Editor's Note: A rather infamous logo for its strangeness and the even stranger game that comes after.

2nd Logo (1995)
Logo: On a black background we see the KIRIN text from before, this time in marble green and lacking screws and the word "ENTERTAINMENT", below an abstract griffin.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: Seen on the 3DO game The Perfect General, the second and final game released from the company.

Editor's Note: Not too bad this time. It looks better than its precursor.
