Sony Electronic Publishing

Background
Sony Electronic Publishing was formed in 1991 after Sony's North American division bought CSG Imagesoft from the CBS/Sony Group and renamed the company Sony Imagesoft. Sony Electronic Publishing became the parent company of Sony Imagesoft. Starting in 1994, Sony Imagesoft started to use the Sony Electronic Publishing name when they expanded to PC products. In 1995, Sony Electronic Publishing was closed due to Sony Imagesoft merging with the development branch of Sony Computer Entertainment into Sony Interactive Studios America.

1st Logo (November 1994-1995)

FX/SFX: None. It's still.

Music/Sounds: None.

2nd Logo (December 31, 1994)
Nicknames: "The Print Feather II", "The Sony Feather II"

Logo: Same as the 2nd Sony Imagesoft logo, only it starts on a background, there is no flash, the rays are simpler, and the logo reads "ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING" in place of "IMAGESOFT".

FX/SFX: The feather falling, the rays spreading out. Basically the same as the 2nd logo, but far simpler.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd Sony Imagesoft logo.

Availability: Unused. This was meant to appear on the 1995 Jeopardy! PC game, but it went unused. The logo's file (SONYLOGO.MOV) can be accessed in the "MOVIES" folder on the disc.
