Majesco Entertainment

Background
Majesco Entertainment is an American game publisher founded in 1986 under the name "Majesco Sales, Inc." In its early years, they just resold old titles that were abandoned by their original publishers. Gradually, they entered the publishing business and created their first internal development brand Pipe Dream Interactive in 1999. The company experienced deep financial trouble after their titles failed commercially, especially Psychonauts in 2005. After barely escaping bankruptcy, Majesco shifted to the casual game market. Since 2006, they were exclusively publishing for the Wii and Nintendo DS, but later started publishing to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In December 2016, the company exited the video game business after merging with biotech firm PolarityTE. However, it was reactivated in 2017 through a management buyout by CEO Jesse Sutton. In 2018, 51% of the company was purchased by Liquid Media Group.

1st Logo (1998-2000)
Logo: On a white background, we see "MAJESCO SALES, INC." written in a futuristic-like font, with the second "S" having extended tails that underlines the word "MAJESCO" and puts a line on top of "ALES, INC.".

Variants:
 * On Game Boy versions of Centipede, Super Breakout and Frogger, the text is in black.
 * On Game Boy Color titles like 10-Pin Bowling, Ultimate Paintball and F-18 Thunder Strike, the text has a drop shadow effect.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Very rare, as most of Majesco's games omit it. Centipede for GBC has this logo, as well as Frogger for the GBC and SNES.

2nd Logo (June 10, 2001)
Logo: On a, white, and mint green gradient background, we see the same logo from before, but in. Below it, "MSI" (using the letters taken from above) is written.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Was spotted on Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Earthworm Jim and Iridion 3D for the GBA. The logo was a placeholder before the next one was created.

1st Logo (August 13, 2001-April 15, 2005)
Logo: We see a -outlined oval shield containing the stylized letter "M" with its middle part cut down and "MAJESCO" placed there. There is a website URL below, written in burgundy italics.

Variants:
 * On many games, the background is black and the website uses the regular white font. Early games had no website URL.
 * On Dark Arena, the logo is zoomed in.
 * On Earthworm Jim 2 for GBA, the logo is occupied by the game characters.
 * On games co-developed by Terminal Reality, the logo appears in a fire fall, followed by said company's logo made in the same way.
 * A variant appears on Game Boy Advance Video cartridges. On a white background, a 2D Majesco logo fades in. Then, "DIGITAL" and "VIDEO" appear from the left and right respectively and flash. "DIGITAL" is black and "VIDEO" is shiny, and both words have rainbow trails near them.

Technique: Usually none, except for the variants.

Music/Sounds: None for the still version, harsh blows and sounds for the animated version.

Availability: Uncommon. The first game to have this logo was Fortress for Game Boy Advance, and the last game to have this logo was Game Boy Advance Video: Cartoon Network Collection - Platinum Edition.

2nd Logo (April 19, 2005-2012)
Logo: We see lines coming out into the screen, with a dotted light before the logo is on the black background, and see a few  lines. A light traces the bottom squiggly lines until the logo hits the black background again and the company name appears.

Variants:
 * There is an animated version with no "ENTERTAINMENT" used on Psychonauts.
 * There is a rare version with a white background seen on the trailer for Jaws Unleashed and a few games like Cooking Mama.
 * The still version is much more common.

Technique: The logo forming or none.

Music/Sounds: None, but on Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack for the Wii, it has a rock tune.

Availability: Used in Advent Rising, Psychonauts, Jaws Unleashed, and in a huge amount of casual games for Wii and DS. The animated version is uncommon, and was used on Infected for PSP for instance. The logo also appears on GBA Video cartridges of Shrek, Shrek 2 and Shark Tale.

3rd Logo (2012-2016)
Logo: We see a light blue (and lime green on the other side) ribbon which comes and flips to the screen, with a sphere above, together forming a stylized man figure. The name slides out and unfolds with the logo.

Technique: The ribbon swirling and unfolding.

Music/Sounds: A sequence of soft raindrop tunes.

Availability: Seen on later games from the company, like Harley Pasternak's Hollywood Workout for Wii.
