Background

Asylum Entertainment (formerly known as AE Games) was a British video game developer active in the 2000's. They shut down around 2012.

AE Games

(1998)

Logo: On a black background, a pair of cartoony eyes, with left being larger with a smaller pupil, comes falling down from the top of the screen after a few seconds of nothing, then bounce back into shape. The eyes "blink" twice, as via a paint splatter effect, it reveals the eyes are in a lime ball. Underneath it is the text "ae GAMES", with the latter word in an arc curved upwards.

FX/SFX: The eyes falling, the paint splatter.

Music/Sounds: A falling whistle sound is heard at first, followed by 2 springy-sounding sounds. 2 "blinking" noises are then heard when the eyes blink, and then ends with the sound of frothing bubbles as the logo is revealed.

Availability: Only seen on Play with the Teletubbies for PS1.

Asylum Entertainment

(1999-2011)

Logo: On a black background, the same logo is seen from before, but in hot pink and is tilted 90 degrees counterclockwise. Underneath it is the stacked text "ASYLUM entertainment"

Variants:

  • An in-credit variant exists.
  • Later games has the logo set on a white background.
  • On Rescue Heroes: Molten Menace, the logo is darker.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the video game. On Curse: The Eye of Isis, a soft string note plays.

Availability: Seen on most of their games from this period starting with Play with the Teletubbies for PC and ending with Horrid Henry: The Good, The Bad & The Bugly for 3DS. This logo appears on some games produced for the Horrid Henry series such as Horrid Henry: Missions of Mischief and Horrid Henry's Horrid Adventure for both DS and Wii. The in-credit variant only appeared on Play with the Teletubbies.
