Artificial Mind & Movement

Background

In 2000, Behaviour Interactive was sold back to its founders by Behaviour Communications and renamed A2M (Artificial Mind & Movement), but the name was reverted back in 2010 due to it being overly complex, in addition to avoiding possible comparison to the explicit term that shares the same abbreviation.

Logo (November 10, 2000-September 23, 2010)

Visuals: The logo looks like a custom circular figure with the stylized name "A2M" below. There are many variants for each game. Early games have the full name below, several later games for portable platforms also have the full name in two lines, placed right to the figure.

Variants:
