'''Logo:''' Two {{Font color|green|green}} spotlights reveal the waving words "COPYRIGHT 1996".

Then the man clears out, and we only see the logo with "PRESENTS" below. | '''Logo:''' Two {{Font color|green|green}} spotlights reveal the waving words "COPYRIGHT 1996".

'''Logo:''' We see a {{Font color|silver|metallic}} Gremlin shield standing on a white mist. Laser beams appear over the shield, as it's being hit three times with bullets. However, the bullets don't pierce the logo, they only shuffle it. After the last hit, the logo spins and falls out. | '''Logo:''' We see a {{Font color|silver|metallic}} Gremlin shield standing on a white mist.

'''Logo:''' The semi-rectangular Infogrames shape with the text is already on the white background. The logo, in a nice shade of {{Font color|blue|blue}}, is lowered down via some straps like a cargo crate would be lowered from a crane, and the shadow below it gets bigger and bigger as it appears. The logo is dropped, with the armadillo making an audible squeak of a pig as it lands. Throughout the logo, the stacked text "Studios Ltd Sheffield House" fades in, flipping in letter by letter. The whole logo then cuts to black. | '''Logo:''' The semi-rectangular Infogrames shape with the text is already on the white background.
