Background

In 1984, Disney entered into a joint venture with Sierra On-Line, forming a company named Walt Disney Personal Computer Software. This partnership developed games for IBM, Atari, Commodore and Apple computers based on Disney characters.

Logo (1984-1986)

Visuals: On a black background, the text "WALT DiSNEY" is seen in the standard corporate font, as well as a trademark symbol to the right of it. Below it is the outline of a laptop-like shape, with the screen displaying the Mickey Mouse icon with a grid pattern over it, and the text "PERSONAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE" covering the bottom portion. Below the logo is the Sierra logo.

Variants:

  • Depending on the game (and also the platform), the logos will have different colors.
  • The Amiga version of Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood had this in a black box on a white background, with a box below it containing text reading "Walt Disney Computer Software and Sierra On-Line, Inc. Present".
  • Some games feature "AND" below the Walt Disney Personal Computer Software logo and "PRESENT" below the Sierra logo.

Technique: A sprite-based graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: It appeared on Donald Duck's Playground, Mickey's Space Adventure, Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood and The Black Cauldron.
