Sierra Sports

Background
Sierra Sports was formed in February 1998 as a sub-brand of Sierra On-Line, with the purpose of developing sports games. Synergistic Software and Papyrus Design were both absorbed into the label. In 2001, it was retired upon a reorganization within Sierra On-Line.

(1998-2000)
Logo: We see the 1998 Sierra logo ("SIERRA" in a strange font with a "wing" on the "S" made from spikes) in. The golden "wing" is extended downwards and three thick spikes are attached to it, forming a star under the wordmark. Under all of this is the big word "SPORTS" in a more straightforward font.

Variants:
 * On NASCAR titles published under the label, the logo flips in from the distance, followed by "SPORTS" slamming in under it. The logo then transitions via a "flip" effect to the Papyrus Design logo.
 * On Field & Stream 3D and 4, the logo is still on a pond background. The Dynamix furball walks in under it from the right with a fishing rod. He then swings the rod and fishes out the Dynamix logo, then says "Phew, Sierra!".
 * On the latter game, after the furball is done fishing, a fish eats the bait on the rod and drags the furball down altogether.

FX/SFX: Depends on the variant.

Music/Sounds: Crowd cheering and slams on the NASCAR variant, the sounds of the fishing rod and the furball on the Field & Stream variants.

Availability: Seen on sports games published under the label, most notably those with the NASCAR license.

Editor's Note: None.
