|||
*''Small Soldiers'': The text zooms in, and we see small soldiers climbing up the boy's fishing rod. They throw the boy off the moon, while Chip Hazard shouts, "Commandos, lets open up a big can of whoopass!" The line is connected to a screen with the ''Small Soldiers'' logo. |
|||
*''T'ai Fu: Wrath Of The Tiger'': We see the DreamWorks Interactive logo, but a white silhouette of a Chinese dragon (likely representing the Dragon Master) quickly flies by in front of and behind the boy before it flies through and destroys the logo's text, taking the surprised boy off the moon with it. T'ai Fu jumps onto onto the moon and looks left and right, with the game's logo transitioning in. |
|||
*''Medal Of Honor'': The text zooms in, and then the boy throws his fishing pole, which reveals a parachute bag on him. He puts on an army cap and yells, "Geronimo!" before jumping off the moon and pulling the string on his bag, resulting in a parachute to come out of it. However, the end of the parachute gets stuck on the moon, and the boy exclaims "Hey!". |
|||
*''Medal Of Honor: Underground'': Same as above, but this one has a majestic fanfare. Instead of the parachute coming out, it malfunctions, so the boy's belongings fall out and his army hat falls off. He holds on to the moon, and gets knocked on the head with his hat, to which he says "Hey!", and the moon tilts. |

DreamWorks Interactive was the video game division of DreamWorks Pictures, established in March 1995 as a joint-venture between DreamWorks and Microsoft to develop games based on the studio's properties. In 2000, following the critical failure of Trespasser (based on The Lost World: Jurassic Park), it was sold to Electronic Arts to form EA Los Angeles. In 2010, the company was renamed to "Danger Close Games", only to quietly go defunct in 2013.
Logo (March 24, 1996-October 23, 2000)
Visuals: Same as the DreamWorks Television logo, except that "SKG" is absent, and "INTERACTIVE" slowly fades in below the line as the clouds move away.
Trivia: Like DreamWorks Television, this logo debuted a year before its film counterpart.
Variant: The logo is still on Someone's In The Kitchen! and The Neverhood.
Custom Variants: See this page for details. On these custom variants, the logo looks much cheaper, with the moon and clouds having a purple tint, the boy being white, the sky being black and the name in a different font.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: The ending of the DreamWorks logo, a 7-note tune (but the guitar is replaced by a French horn; this variant of the theme was also used on the film MouseHunt), the main theme of the game or silence. The game variants have sound effects corresponding to the actions.
Availability: Appears on Chaos Island: The Lost World, Warpath: Jurassic Park, Skullmonkeys, Small Soldiers: Squad Commander and BoomBots.
- The rest of the variants only appear on their respective games.
