XING Entertainment

1st Logo (April 28, 1995-1996)


Logo: On a sky blue background there are what appear to be four green pillars. The camera then turns and zooms out to reveal the XING logo. The camera then stops into position and the logo shines/glows from behind then dies down.

Technique: The camera pan, the "glow".

Music/Sounds: A short synthesized brass fanfare and a voice-over saying "Power play all the way! XING". At least one game had a different version of the voice-over which sounded more emphasized.

Availability: Seen on very early video games published or developed by XING on the PlayStation, such as In the Hunt (JP and US PlayStation version), Floating Runner: Quest for the 7 Crystals and the Japan-only game 3x3 Eyes: Kyuusei Koushu.

2nd Logo (March 29, 1996-December 13, 2001)


Logo: On a white background, the XING logo is mostly formed, but a fragment of the "X" is placed above the "N". Then it precedes to clash with the rest of the "X" while the opposite fragment bounces off slightly, forming part of the logo. Then "ENTERTAINMENT" spins vertically into view and as that happens, a light shines on the "X". The light then disappears, and the logo is formed.

Technique: The green block hitting the "X", the light shining on the logo, the "ENTERTAINMENT" spinning into view.

Music/Sounds: A wooden percussive sound followed by a high pitched clave sound, then a voice-over saying "XING!" and then a lower pitched clave sound.

Availability: Seen on PlayStation games published or developed by the company. In the Hunt (EU PlayStation version only), K-1 Revenge and Bravo Air Race (Reciproheat 5000 in Japan and Air Race in Europe) are among some of the games to use this logo.
