'''LogoVisuals:''' OnOver a black background, we see glowing {{color|blue}} dust collectedcollecting from the lower part of the screen and forming a crudely designed picture of a 6-point star with the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|ASPYR}}" below it. The logo glows and explodes into dust, which flies in all directions.
'''Variants:''' There are several custom variants:
* There is an <u>early variant</u> where the star and the letters are coming into the screen whirling and then become still in a flash.
* On <u>''SpyHunter''</u>, the logo rides on the road, dodges some missile attacks and then rises into the air. There, the logo divides into flying parts and turns into a helicopter, with the star as a rotor, and flies away.
* On <u>''Wakeboarding Unleashed''</u>, the logo rides on a wakeboard, which disconnects and sinks. Then the still picture of the logo follows.
* On <u>''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4''</u>, the logo rides on an {{color|orange}} trampoline. When it goes too high, it crashes down and the skateboard rolls into the camera, with the logo carved on it.
* On <u>''Activision Anthology'' for the Game Boy Advance</u>, the logo is <u>still</u>.
'''Technique:''' CGI. A still digital graphic for the GBA version.
'''Audio:''' A sound of zooming stars, an announcer double whispering "Aspyr", then the sound continues fading out. In the variants, the sounds of events are heard. On the <u>GBA version</u>, only the announcer is heard.
'''Availability:''' Seen on several PC games published by Aspyr at the time, and probably on Mac game ports. The normal version appeared on ''MTX Mototrax'' and ''Kelly Slater Pro Surfer''.

'''LogoVisuals:''' WeThere seeis a formless horizontal line of {{color|an orange}} flame. A white glow appears over it and expands into the Aspyr logo, which now looks like a different type of cog-looking star and the name just right to it in a condensed font. When the logo forms, the flame vanishes and the logo then fades out.
'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation.

'''LogoVisuals:''' WeThe movecamera moves along a metallic surface made of square patterns with a hole in each square. Some holes are already taken by glowing {{color|darkviolet|purple}} rods, and some more rods fall from the sky to stick in the other holes. Then wethe risecamera rises up and seeto the rods forming the star from the Aspyr logo, which makes room for the {{color|blue}}-colored name to zoom in. Each letter of the word "{{color|blue|'''asPyR{{big|as}}P{{big|y}}R'''}}" looks formed out of multiple rods, just like the star, and shines. Then the complete logo shines and becomes solid.
'''Technique:''' CGI.
