'''Logo:''' On a space background, we see a {{color|red}} cube, a {{color|blue}} triangle, and a {{color|green}} sphere that flies around, and settle, forming the usual blue segmented lines as it spins. As the logo stops, the text "{{font|Times New Roman|ELECTRONIC ARTS}}" fades in.
 
'''Variants:'''
* On ''Mutant League'', the logo is still.
* On ''Wing Commander Academy'', a animated series based off the ''Wing Commander'' series by Origin Systems, the logo is on a space background in {{color|turquoise}} and in 3D with the name below in Times New Roman. Above it is "Based on the story and characters created by Chris Roberts for the series of games produced by Origin Systems, Inc. and published by" in very small text.

'''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.
 
'''Technique:''' CGI animation.
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' An ascending synth, followed by a hit, and then a whoosh, ending in a chime.
