Background

Sound Source Interactive was founded in 1988 by Vincent J. Bitetti to create children's games. In 1994, the company was acquired by TDK Mediactive. In 1998, Sound Source Interactive acquired game development studio BWT Labs. However in 2001, both Sound Source Interactive and BWT Labs were folded into TDK Mediactive.

1st Logo (1997-2001)


Nicknames: "Stylized S and Purple Circle", "Flying Dust"

Logo: 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 the same font used in the previous two logos 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 at on the screen. The background becomes black again.

FX/SFX: The dots forming the letter "S".

Music/Sounds: 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: Rare. 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.

2nd Logo (1998)

Logo: 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 right hand. There is also a white area covering the figure's black portion. Below the box is the word "present".
