@KennyL would make a decent Insert Credit logo, tbh (I mean, it reads way more as “IC” than “K,” to me!)
@kory I totally thought it was I and C at first.
Something real V a p o r w a v e about SNK calling itself a maker of “Leisure System[s]”:

They got some good ones already
I was looking into puzzle games today and I learned about Pastel Muses on the Saturn, which is made by Soft Office. The name and the logo are just real nostalgic and cool to me.

today I learned that Ubisoft used to be cool:

I was thinking about an old DOS shmup I used to play called Flying Tigers. It is, I think, a ripoff of games like Toaplan’s Fire Shark and Capcom’s 1940 series.
Anyway, apparently it was developed by a German company called Ticsoft and holy shamoly, look at that logo:

Looks like one of those higher-res Super Mario RPG renders we were never supposed to see up-close. Badass guy

I agree! I really liked that art style - toylike, glimmering, yet kinda stanky - I wish there were some more games that looked like that. Maybe the closest thing I can think is the Donkey Kong Country games, though it’s maybe more true for the promotional artwork than the look of the games while they were actually running.

Peak logo.
My speculation, based off of very little, is that the 3D typeface was a common feature in video game logos at the time exactly at the moment one could do that cheaply on a Mac.

Media Entertainment is a name so generic that I must have made it up, but no, it’s real. Or, at least it was. Not very search engine friendly, but this company put out stuff like Maze Heroes and Koro Koro Post Nin on PS1.
I like both of their logos. Vibrant and almost classic, like very nearly iconic here. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Media Visions!
