1st Logo (1990-1992)

Variant: On AV-8B Harrier Assault, the logo is tucked into the top left corner, placed on a stone plate. Below it are two lines bordering the text "SIMIS LTD".

Technique: A still computerized graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on the company's earliest games, such as AV-8B Harrier Assault.

2nd Logo (August 27, 1997-2000)

• 

Visuals: On a black background, a red light appears and slides across the screen, causing the text "SIMIS" to fold out one-by-one with a brief red glow. The logo then shines brightly as a spotlight scans the screen from left to right before dying down.

Variants:

• On Terracide, the first game to use this logo, a prototype version is used. The background is filled with green smoke, the spark is green and moves slower, and when the logo finishes, it flashes and brings forth a teal box with dark blue afterimages of the text on it.
• On the Terracide demo, a still version of the logo is used.

Technique: CGI. A still digital graphic for the still version.

Audio: A pair of synth drones that are held-out.

Availability: Seen on Terracide, Team Apache and Xenocracy.
