Davidson & Associates

Background
Davidson & Associates (or simply Davidson) was an educational software company headquartered in Torrance, California. It was merged with Knowledge Adventure in 1999.

1st Logo (1994-1996)
Visuals: On a black background, a scribble is drawn in. "Davidson" is written first in a childish font, in which it then morphs into "Davidson" and the scribble morphs into a "D" shape.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Sketching sounds followed by a synth orchestra.

Availability: Generally seen on Davidson's product previews which were bundled with their games.

2nd Logo (1996-1997)
Visuals: On a white background, all the letters of "Davidson" walk and bounce in from the right side of the screen, all scattered in a crowd. Then, the "D" shape from the previous logo slams down and sends all the letters flying, before they all fall down one-by-one in their normal positions.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A bunch of high-pitched chattering from the letters. A voice says "Here we go.", and there is a boing sound as the "D" falls down and a "Whee!" from all the letters as they fly away, followed by a synthesized tune as they re-appear, a "Ta-da!" and then them laughing.

Availability: It was seen on games such as Mega Math Blaster.
