Bandai Namco Entertainment

Logo description by shnick1985

Background: Bandai Namco Entertainment (also known as "Bandai Namco Games" and "Namco Bandai Games") was formed in 2006 after a merger between Bandai Co., Ltd. and Namco Ltd. The original companies still do exist separately, while the merged brand is mainly used for video game publishing, especially for its own games.

(2006- )

Logo: On a background (usually white), we see the company name in white text on top of a yellow circle and a sideways red spaceship-like triangle. Bandai Namco Games Variant: On trailers for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (as well as the final version of the game, and later Tekken 7), we see the logo as normal, but after a few seconds, the camera zooms in as Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama (characters from the game) step on the logo and throw punches at each other in slow motion (with the camera zoomed out again).

FX/SFX: None, just fading.

Music/Sounds: Usually none, but on Pac-Man World Rally, the music from the 7th Namco logo plays. On the Tekkenvariant, we hear a loud thud when Kazuya and Jin step on the logo, and a long whooshing sound when they are throwing the slow motion punches.

Availability: Common. Precedes Namco and Bandai logos on all their games released since 2006 (as in Tekken games, both this and Namco logo are used). Also widely used across Europe and North America.

Editor's Note: None.
