*On John Madden Football for 3DO, the steel-colored logo is visually in 3D (see 1st picture).

*On Grand Slam Bridge 2, the logo is red and featureless with golden text.

*Need for Speed 2 has the logo in turquoise color zooming in with light spots on the floor.

*For the variant on the PlayStation version of Viewpoint, the background is a space background. Then the 3D circle zooms through as we pan through the space. Then the light rays swipe through the circle to make the lines appear on the circle. Then it zooms out and the 3D Square and the 3D Triangle shapes (with lines intact), appear from left and right respectively forming the logo. Then "ELECTRONIC ARTS" appear in the game's font appears through the burning effect. Then the text dissolves. Then we move through as the 3D Square leaves the screen while the Circle moves onto the Triangle while the text zooms out through the burning effect this time reading "HIGH SCORE ENTERTAINMENT" (see here), appears while the Circle turns and glows yellow. Then the circle explodes as the text dissolves causing a hole in the triangle to appear. Then it slowly turns upside down and turns gray, becoming the Visual Concepts logo while "VISUAL CONCEPTS" (see here), appears through the burning effect forming the logo. Then the text rotates up and dissolves through fire. Then the VC logo zooms out as the games title zooms out turning with the light ray effect, making it's position into the center as the light rays dim out. Then it fades into the opening intro of the game.

*On Extreme Pinball, the blue logo is shown on top along with the High Score Productions logo (see here), on the bottom.

*On Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf for the Super NES, the logo in blue zooms out and rests in the middle. It stays there for a moment before fading to black.

*On Soviet Strike, the logo is purple.

*On Wing Commander Academy, a animated series based off the Wing Commanderseries by Origin Systems, the logo is on a space background in turquoise and in 3D with the name below in Times New Roman.

*B.O.B, released in 1993 on the Sega Genesis, had a series of ominous futuristic sounds which changed their pitch as the geometric forms flipped in. At the end, a "clunk" noise was heard. As far as we know, the SNES port of the game lacked the sounds.

Also seen on early PlayStation titles released by the company, as well as Saturn, PC and other systems through the era as well, including Soviet Strike, the Japanese version of Lemmings for 3DO, Escape from Monster Manor, John Madden Football for 3DO.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' US Navy Fighters used a whoosh at first, ending with a very loud explosion sound.

'''Availability:''' Rare. This after all was Electronic Arts' first 3D-animated logo, so it only appears on DOS and 3DO games. Can be seen on Space Hulk (including the PS1/Saturn versions, the only titles on those systems to use this logo), US Navy Fighters, and the Japanese exclusive Perfect World.
