Eurocom Entertainment Software

Background:
Eurocom Entertainment Software was founded in October 1988 by Neil Baldwin, originally to develop games exclusively for the NES. It has since then expanded onto other platforms. Eurocom did not use a proper logo until 1991. Eurocom went out of business on December 6, 2012 due to poor sales of their recent games like 007 Legends.

1st Logo (1991-1992)
Logo: On a black background is the word "EUROCOM" in the Eurostile Bold font with a purple outline and below that is "ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE" in white and in the Stylistic SF font.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Just the opening theme to the game. On James Bond, Jr., the logo is silent.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Lethal Weapon, Dropzone and James Bond, Jr. for the NES.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1992-1994)
Logo: On a black background is the word "EUROCOM" carved out of stone, with "ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE" and the horizontal line below, both carved out of stone. The logo is at the tilted angle.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appears on Dropzone for SNES and Family Feud for 3DO.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1994)
Logo: We see the 3D rectangular shape with the word "EUROCOM" carved in it. Under it are the words, "ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE". The logo is in a Fox-like distance, but from the right.

Variant: On Stone Protectors and Brutal: Paws of Furry, the words, "A GAME DEVELOPED BY" is seen above the logo. Plus, the text are in yellow.

FX/SFX: None, it's still.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appeared on Dino Dini's Soccer, Stone Protectors, and Brutal: Paws of Fury for SNES.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (1995-2003)


Logo: We see an old film countdown starting with "3". After it's done, the Eurocom logo in white zooms out from the middle of the screen. "ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE", which this time is in the Enviro font, appear one-by-one as the voiceover (described below) says the words. The logo then becomes off-center, before coming back, coloring "EUROCOM" in rainbow colors, before stretching outwards and zooming away to the left, like a CRT TV powering down.

Variants:


 * On the Genesis port of Spot Goes to Hollywood, a spotlight is seen, shining over the word "EUROCOM". The screen then flashes white, and the logo appears. The word "PRESENTS" is seen below "ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE".
 * A still variant exists.

FX/SFX: The countdown, the Eurocom zoom out, and the off-centering and coloring of the "Eurocom".

Music/Sounds: Beeps and film projector noises during the countdown sequence, and a piece of elevator music during the next scene. A British announcer is heard saying "Eurocom Developments Limited Entertainment Software games. Electronic fun, for everyone!" during this half of the logo, ending in modernized quality before a switch-off sound is heard as the logo zooms towards us. None for the still variant.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on games from the era since 1996, like the PSX version of Tarzan and Hercules among others. The still variant is known to be on N64 games such as 007: The World is Not Enough and Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, and has also been spotted on a few PSX games (such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire).

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (2003-2006)
Logo: On a white background with a blue aurora, we see the word "EUROCOM" fade in slowly from right to left, while the aurora (which is actually the word zoomed in) disappears. Then the words:

ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE

in the same font as before, fade in in a cloud of dust.

FX/SFX: Parts of the logo fading in.

Music/Sounds: 2 synth chords.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be found on Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Robots, and Ice Age: The Meltdown, among others.

Editor's Note: None.

6th Logo (2006-2012)
Logo: On a black background, a still shot of a neon blue "e" appears in the middle of screen, with the text "eurocom" written underneath it. The logo and text flash white as the logo slowly zooms in.

FX/SFX: The flashing and the zooming of the logo.

Music/Sounds: A synth note that plays along with the flash.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the video game of Rio, it used a short drum roll, then a Brazilian instrument note.

Availability: Uncommon. Can be seen on the PS2 version of Quantum of Solace and GoldenEye 007 for Wii, as well as it's re-release GoldenEye 007: Reloaded for PS3 and Xbox 360, among others.

Editor's Note: None.
