Background
Argonaut Software was a British game developer founded by Jez San in February 23, 1982 on Edgware, United Kingdom. In October 1, 2004, the company was closed and liquidated.
1st Logo (1991-1992)
Logo: On a white background there is an elliptical banner with a picture of a warrior holding his lance and a shield. The name to the right reads "AN ARGONAUT Software Ltd. PRODUCTION".
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen only on Birds of Prey.
2nd Logo (June 1994-August 11, 2005)
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 the PS1 and PC versions of Croc 2, the logo is pictured on a floating bottle. The GBC version has the still logo.
- On I-Ninja, the rubber-made logo is severed by a sword.
- On SWAT, it appears on a metal door blasted by police squad.
- On Malice, the letters rotate and zoom in.
- On Power Drome, it is white. And a red marker with "SHEFFIELD" blasts in.
Technique: Depending on the variant, usually decent CGI.
Music/Sounds: Depending on the variant.
Availability: Rather common on their games. This was strangely not seen on Catwoman, Bionicle, the Harry Potter series, and Stunt Race FX for some reason.
