Eureka Software

Logo (Mid 1990s?-2000?)

Visuals: On a space background, a CD is shown downwards. There is the planet Saturn, in which the screen zooms towards the rings. The planet Jupiter is revealed from the right side, and it goes through by. A yellow shine, representing the sun, appears by, as the CD goes through it, and then through the moon. It then goes towards the planet Earth, stopping at the map of Australia. The sequence then fades to footage of the skyline of Sydney, Australia (including the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge). 4 white stars, including "Eureka" and below that, "S ftware" zoom in, and stand still from the top. The CD then flies to the emptied space of "S ftware", and endlessly rotates.

Technique: A combo of CGI and live-action.

Audio: Four whooshes, then a loud whoosh with wind sounds, and then a synth whoosh.

Availability: So far, only seen on Kid's Create-a-Card.

Eureka Multimedia

1st Logo (2000)


Visuals: On a blue/purple background, there are six white stars from the Australian flag placed on the left. The text "Eurekamultimedia" in yellow has a red shadow and is tilted diagonally, placing on a grainy purple background.

2nd Logo (2002-2009?)


Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with 6 yellow stars glide in from the left of the screen, matching the formation as seen in the Australian flag. The words "Eurekamultimedia" fade in word-by-word, complete with the trademark symbol. The Earth and the Sun appear briefly respectively at the bottom-left corner and at the opposite corner. Then rays of light beam in the Australian country shape in the Australian flag with "Proudly 100% Australian" below it.

Variant: At the end of the game, the logo is seen still with a copyright notice below.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: An edited version of the "Scary" variation of "Dramatic Logo 2" (the same music used in the 1998 Plastic Wax, 1999 Rhino Home Video and 2003 Favorit-Film logos). The first few seconds are extended with the forward-reversing loop, and the slam noise is removed, leaving the choir to stutter and fade, due to hasty editing. A sweeping synth bass note when the "Proudly 100% Australian" logo is drawn in.

Availability: Can be seen on Fun on Alphabet Farm and Fun with Numbers and Puzzles. It may possibly be seen on other games on the time.
