DataSun Software Corporation

Logo (1999-2002)

Visuals: On a black background, a magenta-blue line appears from the top left of the screen, and moves anti-clockwise towards the center at slightly fast pace. Then, the line moves around the center of the screen, drawing the circle. As the red ball then appears from the top right side of the circle, the line draws an other circular end, making it look like a mirrored '6', and the ball then splits the lower and bottom right sides of the circle into the crescent moon-like lines and stops in the center of the screen, transforming into the DataSun logo and burning in red flames. As it's burning, the words "DATA" and "SUN" (in indigo blue) fade in letter-by-letter from the left and right sides of the logo, respectively. After that, the logo stops burning, then stays still for a few seconds, and fades out.

Variant: There is a Chinese version seen on the original Taiwanese copies of their games. The logo plays at a slightly slower pace, and, as the logo burns, a purple/indigo blue rectangle appears like a book opening. The rectangle itself reveals the company name in Chinese. After that, the Chinese byline of the company's slogan (in the same colour as the rectangle) appears, with its hieroglyphs rotating. Two hieroglyphs in the byline sparkle, and the logo stays still for a few seconds, then fades out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A low ding at the very beginning, followed by a catchy and dreamy synth note accompanied with a whimsical whoosh, a low explosion sound with two more dings (when the logo gets finished), ending with a low synth electric guitar sound and a high-pitched shimmering sound.

Audio Variant: The Chinese version lacks the second ding after the low explosion sound.

Availability: Seen on PC games developed by the company, such as the Pong Pong's Learning Adventure series.
