Logo: On a black background, we see three squares, colored, and  respectively. Inside each square is the white letters "z", "e" and "n", which resembles the word "zen", respectively. Underneath it is the word "STUDIOS" in white. A trademark symbol is shown on the upper-right corner of the third square.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, a copyright notice will appear below.
 * On Circus Electrique, we first see two lightbulbs being switched on. An electrical object starts turning on while the camera pans to the right. Suddenly, the object starts to electrocute the word "zen", causing a system shock effect. Afterwards, the lights on the word "zen" is turned on, which reveals that the entire thing takes place on a circus, with a and yellow ball being seen on a background. Then it fades into the logo. The entire logo has a film deterioration applied to it.

Technique: None. CGI animation for the variant.

Music/Sounds: A three-note tune or none.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Circus Electrique, we first hear a sound of a light being switched on, then circus music starts to play on the background, followed by electrical sounds, then a crowd cheering at the end.

Availability: First appeared on Flipper Critters and seen on the games developed and published by the company since then.
