1st Logo (1995-1998)

Visuals: On a black background is a black box with a white border. On the left of the box are the stacked words " SOUND SOURCE INTERACTIVE" in a narrow font. On a right is a white/black stick figure that looks similar to the Knowledge Adventure stick figure, but with hair on his head, a thunderbolt left hand and a cartwheel in the right hand. There is also a white area covering the figure's black portion. Below the box is the word "present".

Variant: On games like Babe: A Little Pig Goes A Long Way, the logo would share the screen with other logos like MCA/Universal Merchandising.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on early games from this company, like Land Before Time: Math Adventure.

2nd Logo (1997-2001)

The nearly-finished logo
The finished logo
Still version

Visuals: On a black background, several purple, orange and white dots fly in and form a large stylized "S" (which looks slightly similar to the Screen Gems "S from Hell", but not by much) with a purple circle behind and the white words "SOUND SOURCE INTERACTIVE" in a bolder font, while the background becomes a black/orange background. Moments later, the "S" and circle dissolve, and "SOUND SOURCE INTERACTIVE" zooms in to where it stops on the screen. The background becomes black again.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Audio: Zapping noises are heard when the dots fly in, followed by a bang sound. A flourish is heard when the logo excluding the text dissolves.

Availability: It can be seen on titles like The Land Before Time: Return to the Great Valley and Casper: Friends Around the World for PlayStation. A still version appeared on American Tail Animated Moviebook.

3rd Logo (November 1, 1997-2000)

Casper Activity Center
Extreme Sports with the Berenstain Bears

Visuals: On a black background, the text "SOUND SOURCE" in the same font as the previous logo and colored in a gold/orange/pink/blue gradient, and a white smaller "INTERACTIVE" underneath it in the same font are seen.

Variants:

On Casper Activity Center, the WayForward Technologies and Harvey Entertainment logos appear below this logo.
On Extreme Sports with the Berenstain Bears, the logo is pixelated and more color-saturated, and is inside a black box on a white background. It shares the screen with the TDK logo below.

Technique: A still, sprite-based graphic.

Audio: None or the opening theme of the game.

Availability: Seen on Casper Activity Center, The Chipmunk Adventure Interactive Coloring Book, and Extreme Sports with the Berenstain Bears, among some other games.
