Availability: Seen in Birds of Prey.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (1994-2004)
Logo: There is a warrior's head composed of four colored lines and the underlined name which reads ARGONAUT. Below the "SOFTWARE LTD" line can be seen, or "GAMES PLC".
Variants: There are a lot of variants:
- On the PS1 and PC versions of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, three Gobbos inflate the logo-bearing balloon until it blows. The Sega Saturn version and the GBC version (latter version under the name Croc) just have the still logo.

- On I-Ninja, the rubber-made logo is severed by a sword.

- On Power Drome, it is white. And a red marker with "SHEFFIELD" blasts in.
