Visuals: On a black background, some orange-yellow streaks fade and move in as a blue spiral appears and stretches a bit. As it stretches, a light moves in and forms a yellow silhouette of a human head. The streaks become still and the light forms the text "MINDS EYE PRODUCTIONS".

Variants:

• On Stratego for PC, the logo ripples.
• On Noddy's Magic Adventure, the logo is much smoother.
• Sometimes, the logo is still.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Some twinkles mixed with a piano tune, as well as some thuds and sparks.

2nd Logo (November 6, 2000)

Visuals: After the Empire Interactive logo, it curves up and becomes implanted on a green hill with a blue sky. A sheep pops up and bounces onto the Empire logo. It waggles its tail and looks at its rear. The logo zooms and rotates to the sheep's rear to see the logo from before and the backgrounds clears to white.
