'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a picture of segmented lines of geometric shapes that represent a square, a circle and a triangle. Underneath it is the text "{{Font|Goudy Old Style|{{Big|E}}LECTRONIC {{Big|A}}RTS}}" in a Goudy Old Style font.

'''Availability:''' Rare. It can be seen on a few games, like the Sega CD game of ''Road Rash'', the Genesis game of ''Urban Strike'' and as a custom variant on the SNES game of ''Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City''.

Can be seen on ''Space Hulk'' (including the PS1/Saturn versions, the only titles on those systems to use this logo), ''US Navy Fighters'', the Japanese version of ''Lemmings'' and the Japanese exclusive ''Perfect World''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a 3D {{color|blue}} sphere zooms out, followed by two other spheres moving over on a spotlight. The spheres bounce, and two others form a triangle and a cube, which rotates, and the logo lands to the usual position. The background turns black, and it morphs to the Electronic Arts logo from the period.

'''Availability:''' Seen on a handful of Japanese PlayStation and Saturn games from the period, like the Japanese version of ''Krazy Ivan'' and ''Nissan Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial''.
