GenePool Software Development

Background
GenePool Software Development was a short-lived British video game developer formed by members of Warthog Games after making Star Trek: Invasion for the PlayStation in 2000. In mid-2002, it was announced that they were collaborating with Activision to make a game based on the X-Men media franchise for the PlayStation 2, XBox, GameCube and PC. The game, X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge, was released in early 2003 to mixed reviews and underwhelming sales numbers.

Nicknames: "The Aborigine", "Blue Jelly", "Gelatinous Aborigine", "Jelly GenePool"

Logo: On a white background, we see a semi-transparent blue cuboid rising up, jiggling like a piece of gelatin in the process. Once fully risen, the cuboid suddenly starts rotating at a very fast pace. After it stops rotating, a carving of what appears to be an aborigine appears on the cuboid and then it turns two dimensional. After that, the text "GENEPOOL SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT" fades in under the cuboid, with the URL fading in underneath the text afterwards.

Technique: The cuboid rising, jiggling and rotating, the text fading.

Music/Sounds: A pulsing sound, followed by a synthesised whirring sound, ending with a dramatic orchestral note. Availability: Only seen on X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge for PlayStation 2, GameCube and XBox. Also appears on the PC version as well.
