Working Designs

Background: Working Designs was an American video game publisher that specialized in the localization of Japanese role-playing video games, strategy video games and top-down shooters for various platforms. Their famous slogan was: "We're nothing without you!". Unfortunately, due to a series of delays, approval snags, and sagging sales, Working Designs announced on December 12, 2005 that all existing staff had been laid off and the company was effectively defunct. As a result, Working Designs became Gaijinworks.

Music/Sounds: A synth choir similar to the Canal+ logo before a synth gleam when the triangles are made, a orchestral hit when the print logo appears by glowing, and a harsh laser "Zap!" when the logo flies off.
