1st Logo (1980s-1990s?)

Visuals: On a black background, a blue box with a red square in the middle of it fades in. Two curvy stripes are drawn over the red square and "AMERICAN" and "GAMES" flash in sliver. "Laser" in a cursive font writes in on the square and it pans to an angle except for the cursive word.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A synth drone throughout followed by whooshes and other sounds. A voice says "American Laser Games" in a whisper followed by a faint guitar chord which get cut off.

Availability: Not much is seen of this logo.

2nd Logo (1993-1997?)

Visuals: A clip from the game (changes every time) appears. After a couple of seconds, a black background, with a right triangle cote-out, zooms out and moves to the right. "MERICAN" in a white Impact/Compacta font along with "LASER GAMES INC." in a smaller font fades in as a row of red-orange lines collides with the triangle and a flash happens, causing the triangle to become white and gain a star cote-out, making an "A" and making the word "AMERICAN" with the aforementioned word.

Technique: 2D animation and live-action.

Audio: Audio from the clip which is followed by the same music from before.

Availability: Seen on MS-DOS, Macintosh, CD-i, 3DO and Sega CD ports for their games. They are not seen on any re-releases from Digital Leisure as they are the original PMVs.
