Eureka Software

(Mid 1990s?-2000?)

Logo: Over a still shot of the skyline of Sydney, Australia (including the Sydney Opera House), we see 4 white stars in the sky. Next to the stars is "Eureka" and below that, "Software". The "o" is represented by a CD.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

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

Eureka Multimedia

1st Logo (2000)

Logo: On the opening titles of the game, we see 6 white stars on a dark sky and next to them, we see the white words "Eurekamultimedia" lying across the moon.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: So far, only seen on Reading and Spelling Adventure.

2nd Logo (2002-2009?)

Logo: On a black background, we see 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.

Music/Sounds: 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.
