Novotrade International

Background
Novotrade International was established in 1983 by the Hungarian government. Their main office was based in Palo Alto, California (since 1989), with two development studios in Hungary. In November 1996, they changed their name to Appaloosa Interactive.

(1995-1996)
Logo: On a black background, a silver man, which is holding a rod, is seen on top of a red floor, lit by a spotlight. He drops the rod onto the floor to light it up and spreads his arms out, while the camera zooms out to reveal the floor was "NOVOTRADE" in a graffiti-like font. The spotlight then exposes the rest of the word and the man rises up, with the specter changing the background to white and adding "INTERNATIONAL" below.

Variants:


 * There is a still version on a black background, used on Exo Squad.
 * On Kolibri for the Sega 32X, the background was a gradient violet.

FX/SFX: The man rising, the light revealing the text, or none.

Music/Sounds: A harmonious orchestral synth tune.

Availability: Rare. The animated version appeared on Ecco the Dolphin for PC. The still logo appeared on Kolibri and Exo Squad for Sega Genesis. Several other games have it in the corner only.

Editor's Note: None.
