1st Logo (June 9, 2003)
Visuals: On a black background is the company's logo, which consists of a square with two white L-shaped borders around it and an abstract roaring Smilodon inside the square, the word "SABER" in an abstract font with the lines at the last four letters colored, fading in. The word "INTERACTIVE" (in spaced-out letters and set in a plain font) later fades in below. The logo then fades out at the end. Technique: None.

Audio: A female choir, which is a reversed reverb leading up to Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock", the theme of Will Rock.

Availability: It was only seen on Will Rock.

Visuals: On a black background, the screen fades in to see a Smilodon walking in to the center and facing towards the screen. It then comes closer to the screen and raising its claws, which transitions into the abstract Smilodon logo from before, albeit being 3D, the color on the logo is paler and the Smilodon is now restyled and colored white. The parts of "SABER" flies in letter-by-letter, and finally "INTERACTIVE" flashes in below.

Variants:
 * On some 2017-2019 games such as Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered, the animated logo is zoomed in.
 * A still variant exists on Inversion, where the entire logo is a horizontal lock-up.
 * Another still variant exists, in which the logo is now in print form and either being shown in horizontal or vertical.
 * On Quake Champions, the vertical print logo is next to the Bethesda Softworks and Id Software logos, and is below the other logos.
 * Yet another still variant exists, in which the print logo is colored like the previous logo.
 * On NBA Playgrounds, the colored print logo is on a background with abstract circles. It later transitions into the Mad Dog Games logo.
 * On World of Speed, this logo is shown below the game's title logo, and is next to the Mad Dog Games, my.com and Redemption Ark logos.
 * On World of Warriors, the logo's colors are noticeably darker.
 * On NBA 2K Playgrounds 2, the logo transitions from the 2K Games logo, the logo's colors are again, noticeably darker. It then transitions to the Unreal Engine 4 logo. The entire thing takes place on a dark blue gradient background.
 * On Bass Pro Shops: The Strike - Championship Edition, the logo is on a gradient background and has a drop shadow behind it.
 * All three still versions' logo size may vary, depending on the game.
 * On the PS4 reveal trailer to Spintires: MudRunner, the logo, which appears on a grainy background with black lines painted on the top and bottom and a smoke being flown in the background, flashes two times at the beginning and slowly zooms in. In the end, it flashes again.

Technique: CGI. None for the still variants, with the exception of two NBA Playgrounds games, which uses 2D computer animation.

Audio: The Smilodon roaring, a rising tune when the Smilodon comes closer to the screen, which is followed by a sound of a sword being drawn out, and several whooshes when the letters flies in. Audio Variants:
 * On Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered, the animated version is silent.
 * For the still variant, none.
 * On Inversion, an ominous theme is heard.
