WizKids

Background

WizKids is an American company based in New Jersey that produces tabletop games. WizKids is best known for its collectible miniatures games (CMGs) Mage Knight, HeroClix, MechWarrior, and HorrorClix, all of which make use of the company's Clix system, in which the changing combat statistics and abilities of each figure were indicated by a turnable dial inside the base underneath the figure. The company was founded in 2000 by Jordan Weisman, of FASA Corporation fame. It was purchased by sports-card manufacturer Topps, Inc. in 2003, and later by NECA in September 2009.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on various MechWarrior-related titles, like MechAssault and its sequel.

Legacy: Like FASA's logo, this logo is popular among tabletop gamers.
