1st Logo (October 17, 2001)

• 

Visuals: It starts out with a curved line. Electricity goes down the curve. The logo is shown, but not like it should be. Instead, more electricity goes down the logo, then again, then again. It starts going faster, then the stone version of the logo is surrounded by an eerie white light. The light goes "Ka-Boom!" then the logo is shown.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: The sounds of electricity.

Availability: Seen on early games, such as Zoo Tycoon.

2nd Logo (November 9, 2004)

• 

Visuals: It starts out in a foggy jungle, which cuts to some rocks, which then cuts to a blue snake slowly slithering across the trail. The logo then cuts to a rock with a tablet standing up, saying "Blue Fang Games". The snake slowly slithers across the logo, then hisses at us, then it whips its tail into the tablet. The logo appears, then it fades to black.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: The sounds of thunder, with the snake hissing.

Availability: Seen on Zoo Tycoon 2.

3rd Logo (October 26, 2009)

• 

Visuals: On a watercolor background with a blue box, animals are seen. When it is done the logo fades in.

Technique: Traditional animation.

Audio: Music with a choir.

Availability: Seen on later games, like World of Zoo.
