WizKids

Background
WizKids is an American company based in New Jersey that produces tabletop games. WizKids is best known for its collectible miniatures games (CMGs) Mage Knight, HeroClix, MechWarrior, and HorrorClix, all of which make use of the company's Clix system, in which the changing combat statistics and abilities of each figure were indicated by a turnable dial inside the base underneath the figure. The company was founded in 2000 by Jordan Weisman, of FASA Corporation fame. It was purchased by sports-card manufacturer Topps, Inc. in 2003, and later by NECA in September 2009.

1st Logo (2000-)
Nicknames: "Mr. Wizard's Cousin", "The Text"

Logo: Just the word "WIZKIDS" in a comical, curved font, on a black or white background.

Variants:

-There is an updated logo introduced after NECA's acquaintance of WizKids. Here, the logo is more comical but no longer curved, and an exclamation point replaces the second "i".

FX/SFX: Just the logo fading in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on various MechWarrior-related titles, like MechAssault and its sequel. Like the FASA logo, it does not appear on MechWarrior 5 or Online, even though FASA and WizKids own the franchise.

Legacy: Like FASA's logo, this logo has a huge popularity in the world of tabletop gaming.
