1st Logo (November 26, 2001-October 8, 2002)


Visuals: There is the first person view of someone holding a gun, walking inside some sort of the room with the fan on top. Now someone goes to the left to see the green glow on the door with some cracks, and it explodes. Green smoke rises up as they form the words "FuN LABS" with "FuN" being nearly inside the green rectangle. The finished logo glows bright green once stabilized.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Footsteps with alarm blaring, electricity sizzling, and a heartbeat.

Availability: Seen only on Secret Service and ReVolution.

2nd Logo (September 14, 2010-)


Visuals: On a black background is a constellation form the same words as before, but the U is not skewed. A paint brush then paints the green rectangle under "FuN". The "u" then slants 10 degrees and flashes, turning "FuN" black with white outlines outside the rectangle.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth pad note, a technological sound followed by some whoosh sound effects.

Availability: Seen on games since 2010 including MIB: Alien Crisis, the Wii and Wii U Versions of Angry Birds Trilogy and the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5.
