Logo: TBA

Variants: TBA

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: TBA

Editor's Note: TBA

2nd Logo (1991-1998)

Logo: We see the word "GAMETEK". A blue ball poses inside the "A" letter.

Variants:

The early version has a lighter cyan color instead of blue and seems to be a bit more leaned. The later version shows a solid 3D effect, including the ball.
On some published games, a corresponding announcer appears above.
On CyberBykes, the logo is redone in a futuristic font.
There is an animated version. It has "GAME" slide in, then "TEK" zoom letter-by-letter and the ball jumps the logo to take its place. The logo appears on some games from Imagitec Design.
On Star Crusader, the logo shares the screen with the Take-Two logo.
On Tesserae, the white background spreads around the small box with the logo.

FX/SFX: None, except for the animated variant.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the game.

Availability: Rather common on older games.

Editor's Note: None.
