(1998-1999)
Logo: On the chessboard against the blue gradient background, a bunch of differently-sized balls shoot out from the corners of the chessboard like a fountain, with three types: small black metallic balls, large orange balls and small white balls. The balls then begin to swirl into a pillar before scattering again. Throughout the entire action, the camera spins around the chessboard. The balls then form the orange/black/white-colored logo, consisting of an orange grinning face with pointy teeth and sharp blank eyes, the word "orange" in the blocky lowercase font leaning slightly to the left, outlined inblack and orange, with the face being served as the letter O and with "games" in the OCR-A font below. The zooms on the logo for a brief moment before backing away and fading to white.

Technique: CGI that makes use of vectorballs (dots rendered as shaded spheres).

Audio: A synthesized timpani hit, a hiss followed by an assortment of sound effects: glass shards noises, synthesized whooshes and metallic noises (including the stock "metal crashing" sound effect). An electricity buzzing is heard, when the balls begin to swirl into a pillar. When the logo forms, all of the sounds drown out in favor of the sound of liquid bubbling and oozing.

Availability: So far only appeared in Jazz Jackrabbit 2.
