XaviX

Background
XaviX is the brand name used by Japanese company SSD Company Limited to market plug-and-play videogame technologies. It began operations in 1997 and many games were published from other developers such as Epoch, Takara, Tomy, Bandai and Square Enix. The company would later release their own game console in 2004, the XaviXPort, largely specialized on sports and fitness games. Two revisions have been made to the XaviX technology, the Super XaviX and the XaviX 2, the latter adding 3D graphic compatibility.

Logo (2000-2005)
Logo: On a black background, the blue word "XaviX" is shown off-center with a registered mark. Below there's the white text "TECHNOLOGY" glowing in, and another byline, "Licensed by SSD Company Limited", in two lines.

FX/SFX: The glowing of the "TECHNOLOGY" text.

Music/Sounds: A 3-note chime theme.

Availability: Scarce. Found on all early XaviX plug-and-play games released on Japan.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo (2004-2008)
Logo: On a black background, we see the text "XaviX" in red, with a registered mark and "Games" below, blurring in, along with four squares forming a larger square at the left. A red slanted square then emerges in front of the other squares, then shines.

Variant: Japanese markets had the logo with the text & slanted square being blue instead of red.

FX/SFX: The blurring in of the logo, the square emerging and shining.

Music/Sounds: A synthesized note with a reverse cymbal at the beginning.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen whenever a XaviXPort console is turned on.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo (2004-2007?)
Logo: On a black background, we see a white "X" fade in. It glows quickly while the other elements forming the logo, the "TECHNOLOGY" text below, the blue separating line and the "SSD COMPANY LIMITED" byline, fade in. The X then spreads out as another X moves to the other side revealing the other letters of "XaviX".

FX/SFX: The glowing, the fading, the text spreading out.

Music/Sounds: A vocoded voice saying "Xavix".

Availability: Scarce. Seen on plug-and-play games with Super XaviX technology.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo (Late 2000s)
Logo: On a white background, the transparent letters of "XaviX" zoom out in different colors. Both X's are in red, with the "a" in cyan, the "v" in yellow, and the "i" in green. Once the text stops zooming it briefly disappears and fades into the standard black logo.

FX/SFX: The zooming, the fading.

Music/Sounds: A keyboard note along with the sampled female voice saying "Xavix".

Availability: Very rare; seen on games with XaviX 2 technology.

Editor's Note: None.
