Background

Epic Games, Inc. is an American video game and software developer and publisher based in Cary, North Carolina. The company was founded by Tim Sweeney as Potomac Computer Systems in 1991, originally located in his parents' house in Potomac, Maryland. Following his first commercial video game release, ZZT (1991), the company became Epic MegaGames, Inc. in early 1992 and brought on Mark Rein, who is the company's vice president to date. Moving their headquarters to Cary in 1999, the studio's name was simplified to Epic Games.

1st logo (November 22, 1999-2005)

Logo: Several lines fly around on a black background, making several shapes. These shapes resemble the 1995 Epic Megagames logo. When an outlined version of the entire logo is made, the word "EPIC" is seen, emitting a light. When the light disappears, the logo fades into the complete EMG logo with "MEGA" being omitted, forming the new name "EPIC GAMES".

FX/SFX: The lines, "EPIC" appearing and the logo fading in.

Variant:

Unreal Tournament, the first game to be published under the EG name, has the logo superimposed in the intro, and is seen in between the Digital Extremes and GT (or Infogrames' in the Game of The Year edition) logos.
