TDK Mediactive

Background
TDK Mediactive was formed in 2000 following the purchase of Sound Source Interactive by Japanese electronics company TDK. In 2003, the company was purchased by Take-Two Interactive and renamed to Take-Two Licensing; it was then shuttered shortly after the formation of 2K Games, one of Take-Two's main publishing labels, in 2005, which Take-Two Licensing was folded into.

3rd Logo (2001-2004)
Nickname: "Tickle David's Knickers"

Logo: Two light flashes come from both sides and collide into the TDK corporate logo, then other flashes create the bar below with "mediactive" in a custom font. A soft light is seen besides the TDK for a second.

 * On GBA releases, the background is white and the text is.

The black version was first used on Pryzm: Chapter One: The Dark Unicorn, and was used on all console and PC games from the company. The still version appears on GBA games.

Editor's Note: The logo got its nickname from game reviewer Caddicarus, who jokingly rapped about the company's initials while playing Shrek Super Party for the Xbox.
