Celeris

Background
Celeris, Inc. is a video game company best known for its Virtual Pool series. It was founded in 1987 by Stephen Chaplin in Chatworth, California.

1st Logo (December 3, 1993)
Logo: On an background, a dark cyan circle with three bars cut through it (having a striking resemblance to the Touchstone Pictures logo) stretches from the center. A few seconds later, the symbol zooms out, followed by the company name and the shape itself with no fill inside a white box to zoom out and reveal itself. The dark cyan ball returns from the right, sliding and filling the company name in black and then stopping at where the transparent shape is. Lastly, the text "presents" wipes in underneath.

Variant: On the title sequence for FlixMix, the logo, with it inside a white box with a black outline and the ball now in turqoise, fades in underneath the logo for said game.

Technique: The symbol and logo zooming out, the ball sliding, and the text wiping in.

Audio: A dramatic medieval-like fanfare at the beginning, followed by twinkling and several ascending and descending chimes.

Availability: Only seen on FlixMix.

2nd Logo (1995-July 17, 1996)
Logo: On a gray background with light on the near-center right, a 3D version of the same logo with the symbol in turqoise and the text in light sky blue, is slightly facing to the right. To the bottom right is the text "V3DX" with the V and X in green stripes and "3D" in blue, horizontally warped and beveled.

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Virtual Pool and Virtual Snooker.

3rd Logo (November 20, 1997)

Technique: None.

Audio: None.

4th Logo (December 17, 1998-May 11, 2005?)
