1st Logo (2000-2016)	2nd Logo (October 1, 2003)	3rd Logo (2005-2008)

1st Logo (2000-2016)

Visuals: Just the text "phenomedia" in blue, with a "play" symbol inside the "o". Next to the text is "ag" or "publishing gmbh" in the same font.

Variant: Sometimes, "entertaining people" is underneath the text.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: Usually none.

Availability: Seen on many Phenomedia games until 2016.

2nd Logo (October 1, 2003)

Visuals: There is a box with the "o" from before on it, and a yellow humanoid figure with a play triangle on its head is standing on it with a dancing pose. Below the box is the text from before.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen only on Moorfrosch, which can be accessed through the game's credits.

3rd Logo (2005-2008)

Visuals: On a grey background, the "phenomedia" text is seen plastered on a grey platform. The figure from before walks onto the platform, and it tips, causing the figure to step back. He notices this and uses the platform as a balance board.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A calm, soothing orchestra tune, accompanied by the sounds of the figure and the platform.

Availability: Seen on Moorhuhn: Sky Botz and the trailer for Moorhuhn Invasion (not on the game itself).
