Atod AB

Background
Atod AB (also known as 42-Bit AB) was a video game developer located in Helsingborg, Sweden. It was established in 1987 and formally incorporated as company in 1992 by Christofer Nilsson and Thomas Liljetoft. Atod was active until 2003, when it was merged with British game developer Warthog Games and renamed to Warthog Sweden. In May 2006, after then-owner Gizmondo went bankrupt, the company was acquired by British publisher and developer Eidos Interactive (later "Square Enix Europe").

1st Logo (1992)
Visuals: On a black background, the text "AtOD" in an abstract font (with a line running through the "A", the "I" (forming a lowercase "t") and through the "O", establishing a dot in the middle; the connection on the top of the "D" is missing) with a claw/devil horn like symbol and a dot "O" underneath the "A". Red striped lines run throughout the bottom half of the logo, with "DESIGN" in a blocky font below "tOD".

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Troddlers.

2nd Logo (May 31, 1998-2002)
Visuals: We zoom out of a swirl, glowing inside the outlined letter "O". The word "atod" becomes visible lying in perspective. The dot remains inside the letter, but the swirl goes outside, sending sparks, and draws the uneven oval outside, which becomes solid  and shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Loud sparkling and humming sounds.

Availability: Seen on Hot Wheels: Extreme Racing, Jeremy Mcgrath Supercross '98 and Mobil 1 British Rally Championship for PlayStation.

3rd Logo (2002-2004)
