'''Logo:''' | '''Logo:''' Against a white background, we see a tall black armadillo with a rather sinister expression on its face, and 5 colored bands across the middle in this order: {{color|blue}}, {{color|green}}, {{color|yellow}}, {{color|darkred|dark red}}, and {{color|red}}. Surrounding the armadillo at its feet is 2 black lines, along with the text "'''INFOGRAMES'''" below everything. | ||
''' | '''Variants:''' | ||
* The quality of the logo depended on the game, as well as the size. | |||
* Starting in 1991, the logo was changed to become dark grey, a large rectangle is added below the text, and the color bands are less saturated. | |||
* On some North American released games, "I*MOTION" replaces "INFOGRAMES". | |||
* On ''Astérix & Obelix'' for the SNES, the grey bar gains the text "ENTERTAINMENT" in white. | |||
'''Trivia:''' The choice of an armadillo as the company's logo was because the animal "has always survived changes to its environment, from the melting of glaciers to the worst of heat waves", when the company moved to Villeurbanne. | |||

When the spring-like spirals are finished, the stroke then does a small loop before drawing a large curve and hooking on the end, all the while 2 feet, an eye and colored bands ({{color|teal|blue}}, {{color|green}}, {{color|orange}}, {{color|red}}, and {{color|purple}} in that order) fade in, forming an abstract rendition of the armadillo logo. "'''INFOGRAMES'''" then fades in below. | ||
