Logo: We see the word "GAMETEK" in italics, first four letters white and others blue. A blue ball poses inside the "A" letter.
Variants:
- Early version has lighter cyan color instead of blue and seems to be a bit more leaned. Then, later version shows solid 3D effect, including the ball.
- On some published games, a corresponding announcer appeared above.
- On CyberBykes, the logo was redone in 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 2 logo.
- On Tesserae, the white background spreaded around the small box with the logo.
FX/SFX: None, except for the animated variant.
