Atari SA/Logo Variations

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Neverwinter Nights (2002): The logo, alongside the BioWare logo, appear in-credit before the intro movie. On the "Enhanced Edition", this sequence is removed.


V-Rally 3 (2002):

  • PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC version: The logo zooms down with "Presents" as part of the opening cutscene. The Xbox version don't feature "Presents".

  • GBA version: The Hasbro-era Atari logo rotates on an orange background with a larger yellow/orange tripod. The logo then pixels out.


Unreal Tournament 2003 (2002): The logo appears in credit with the Epic Games and Digital Extremes logos.


Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee (2002): The metalic "Seven Times Action" logo plays as normal, and then it zooms out to reveal itself on a billboard while still animating as part of the opening.


Superman: Shadow of Apokolips (2002): The "Crystal Circles" logo has a red ring where the Atari logo is instead of a white one. The PAL region PlayStation 2 release has the blue background "Seven Times Action" logo instead of this.


Unreal 2: The Awakening (2003): The logo is formed in the game's opening intro. All later reissues of the game (including the Steam release) remove the Atari logo from the opening, leaving the space where it was blank. The Xbox version uses the standard 2003 Atari logo. This intro is broken on modern versions of Windows due to the usage of DirectMusic API, which was deprecated in Windows Vista onward.


Furious Karting (2003): In the intro sequence (the standard Crystal Circles logo appears beforehand), the 2002 print logo appears after a wheel moves, then it zooms into the tripod which turns transparent, and then the game's intro starts.


Enter the Matrix (2003): The "Crystal Circles" logo is entirely green, and plays in warp speed.


Dungeons and Dragons Heroes (2003): The regular 2003 logo plays, but the Atari logo disappears fully after the text goes back inside it.


Asterix and Obelix XXL (2003) and Asterix and Obelix: Kick Buttix (2004): The logo is printed on a piece of metal with damage marks, with the metal attached to a planet of some sort. The 2020 "Romastered" version from Microids cuts out the logos in the opening.


Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003): Some sort of silver liquid forms up a metal-colored Atari tripod. "ATARI" is formed through a laser, also in a metal color.


Terminator 3: War of the Machines (2003): The 2003 logo is reformed into the Clever's Games logo.


Transformers (2004): The 2003 logo plays normally, and then after it finishes, the tripod transforms into the Transformers logo.


DRIV3R (2004): The logo plays normally. Then, a gunshot is heard and a bullet goes next to the tripod. It causes the Tripod to explode where the Reflections Interactive logo takes its place.


Duel Masters (2004): 5 Dual Masters cards appear and turn into the Atari Tripod logo. A boy then blows on the tripod, revealing the remaining letters in ATARI. He vanishes as that happens.


Act of War - Direct Action (2005) and Act of War: High Treason (2006): The logo is formed on a black background, but then a target goes through it (removing the background) and the logo becomes a tinted green on it, with a background from one of the game's landscapes.


The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005): Same as the Enter the Matrix variant, but different music plays.


Driver: Parallel Lines (2006, PlayStation 2 and Xbox): The logo plays normally. Then, a red muscle car drifts through while being chased by two police cars. Then it does a burnout and drifts smoke around the white background and turns it into a black background, where the Reflections Interactive logo appears. The PC and Wii versions remove the Atari logo and tripod from this scene, as those were published by Ubisoft.


Battlezone (2006): The tripod appears in metal without any ATARI text. The tripod shines.


Alone in the Dark (2008, Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3): The logo appears through a rainstorm. The PS2 and Wii version have the standard 2003 logo.
