1st Logo (September 27, 2001-2004)
Visuals: "ARTEMATICA", with both "A"'s stylized, deblurs and shakes while the screen flashes quickly. Once the logo nearly stops shaking, an outlined white square zooms out and merges with the first "A", coloring it black inside of a - gradient box. The logo continues to rattle while "HIGH TECHNOLOGY DIGITAL ARTS" fades in below. Then, the white text deblurs while the "A" logo disappears into the white square from earlier, shrinking in the process.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A dramatic electronic soundtrack with whooshes and buzzes.

Availability: Seen on Druuna Morbus Gravis and Sandokan The Game.

2nd Logo (2004)
Visuals: On a black background, a ball of light with a glow forms a cube version of the box from the previous logo, which rotates while the "A" gradually appears inside the cube. Once the cube stops rotating, it crossfades into the flat version of the logo alongside "ARTEMATICA" and "ENTERTAINMENT" placed on top and underneath it.

Technique: CGI.
