Sierra Home

Background
Sierra Home was the software division of Sierra On-Line (later Sierra Entertainment), created in 1996 following the company's purchase of the Pixellite Group. Sierra Home was not a game publisher, or related to video games in that matter; rather, it published home software including various home design programs, the Print Artist series, and the Hallmark Card Studio series, among others.

In 2004, Sierra Home was shuttered by Vivendi Universal Games as part of a company restructuring and their decision to exit the home software business, selling Hallmark Card Studio and Print Artist to Nova Development in August 2004, who continue to release new installments in both series (the former later rebranded as Greeting Card Factory) to this day.

Logo (1998)
Visuals: We zoom close into a 1990's style home with white framing and outlines/doors. The door opens as we head into the living room, and the camera moves to the right, facing towards a computer featuring the 1998 Sierra logo, which is "SIERRA" in a strange font with a golden "wing" on the "S" made from spikes, and "Home" in a cursive written font. Once we face towards the computer, the Sierra Home logo zooms in as it turns 3D, and the slogan "WE'VE GOT YOUR HOME COVERED" in a white font fades below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A MIDI track.

Availability: Only known to appear on Sierra Architect 3D Design 4.0 on CD-ROM. Most Sierra Home programs didn't use opening logos and went straight to the software.
