'''Infogrames Entertainment SA''' was founded in 1983 by Bruno Bonnell. Over the years of its existence, Infogrames became famous for many titles, including ''Alone in the Dark'', ''Shadow of the Comet'', and ''Hogs of War''.
The company began to expand further in the mid-90's after applying an "Expand through Acquisition" policy, by purchasing out other companies left and square, including [[Ocean Software]], [[Philips Media]], [[Infogrames Sheffield House|Gremlin Interactive]], [[Accolade]], [[Beam Software (Australia)|Beam Software]], [[GT Interactive Software]], [[Humongous Entertainment]], [[Shiny Entertainment]], [[Eden Games]] and [[Hasbro Interactive]] (with the [[MicroProse]] and [[Atari Interactive (Hasbro Interactive)|Atari]] brands).
Following the rebrand of their subsidiaries under the Atari name in May 2003, Infogrames' presence was reduced to solely being a holding company that licensed out the Atari brand name from Atari Interactive. In October 2008, the company fully purchased Atari, Inc. and in May 2009, was rebranded as "'''Atari SA'''", after many financial struggles.

'''Variants:'''
*Sometimes only the fade-in was used, and the background can be black. This can be seen on ''Starshot: Space Circus Fever'' (with the [[Nintendo Games|Nintendo]] logo) and ''V-Rally Edition '99'', both for Nintendo 64, and the PlayStation version of ''Mission: Impossible''.
*A still version exists, which was spotted on pre-2000 Game Boy Color games and on DOS versions of ''The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun'', ''Tintin in Tibet'', ''The Smurfs'', ''Asterix and Obelix'' and ''Spirou''.
*On ''Independence War - Defiance'' (Expansionan expansion pack to ''Independence War'' that was bundled with the base game), the animated logo appears fully in {{color|gold|yellow}} and on a black background.
*On ''Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time'', the still logo is flat. Then it cuts to the [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] logo.
*On ''Slave Zero'', the words "PRESS START BUTTON" are seen under the still logo.
'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesized note with a faint arpeggio and whoosh in the background, then a 6-note trumpet melody, with the last note combined with an orchestral hit. There's also a synthesized buzz when the feet, rainbow "stripes" and the eye of the armadillo fade in.
'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' None or the game's opening theme for the still versionversions.
'''Availability:''' Uncommon.
* The still version first appeared on ''Asterix & Obelix'' for MS-DOS. It was seen on N64 and GBC games of the era.
* The animated version first appeared on ''V-Rally'' for the PlayStation, and appeared on most of the company's PS1, PC and early Dreamcast titles from the time. Strangely, the last game to feature this logo was the PS1 version and later copies of the PC version of ''Nicktoons Racing'', even though the entire packaging, title screen, and GBA version feature the next logo.

'''Nicknames:''' "Crazy Armadillo", "Springy Armadillo", "Spiral Armadillo II", "Colour Hysteria", "The Armadillo With No Feet"
'''Logo:''' We cut from black to see a shiny black 3D line de-thickening itself on a flashing rainbow background. The line starts to wiggle and stretch (like a radio-wave), and then snap-compresses itself together like a spring. The line loosens itself to reveal a heavily spiral-stylisedstylized armadillo. The armadillo then becomes a 3D flat drawing, and the word "'''INFOGRAMES'''", in a black rectangle-like shape, fades in and zooms out in front of the logo. It lands on the logo as the background turns white. A shadow fades in below the logo, and then the entire thing cuts to black.
'''Variants:'''
*A still version exists. The latter appeared on ''Duck Dodgers''. Sometimes, the logo is in the print style seen on game cases by this company, though this variant on some GBA games like ''Backyard Baseball'' could have its colors inverted, with a copyright notice below.
*Another variant has the armadillo standing on the left side of the name banner. This was mainly used for packaging.
*On the PlayStation 2 version of ''Splashdown'' and ''Stuntman'', only the banner appeared on the {{color|blue}} background. Then the Atari logo follows. The 2002 version of ''Le Mans 24 Hours'' uses a {{color|red}} background.
*On ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' for Xbox, the logo is inverted, still and pans from bottom to top, plastering the [[Hasbro Interactive]] logo. ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'' has the logo on a white square over a black background, and pans from top to bottom.
*For the Lyons House division, it uses the same animation, but when it ends, the armadillo fades out and "Lyons House" writes itself below the banner. It uses a droning synth after the usual music. It is followed by the [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] logo and is seen on ''Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf'' (or ''Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider'' in North America).
**The logo can be seen on Ralph's TV screen in the game as an Easter egg.
* On the GBA version of ''Zapper: One Wicked Cricket!'', Thethe full armadillo logo appears without the banner, which is instead below it.
** On ''Titeuf: Ze Gag Machine'', the banner doesn't appear at all, instead being replaced with copyright information.
'''FX/SFX:''' The zooming, the flashing colors, the springy line, the 3D effects, the fading.
'''Music/Sounds Variants:'''
*The still version is silent, or it may have the opening theme of the game over it.
* On ''Grand Prix 4'', race car sounds are heard, although if one listens closely, the original sounds are still heard.
* On the 2014 iOS version of ''Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside'', the music is high pitched.
* On the Xbox version of ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'', the same coaster hill sound from the Hasbro Interactive variant is used.
* On ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'', a different coaster hill sound is used.
* ''Ghost Vibration'' has the music running faster and is also higher pitched.
* On ''Blue's Clues: Blue's Reading Time Activities'', the still version has the tail end of the [[Humongous Entertainment]] drum roll playing over it.
'''Availability:''' Very common. Used on lots of games from this period, produced by Infogrames and/or its divisions.
* Games branded under the Atari name however (such as ''Enter the Matrix'') do not have this logo (except for ''Ghost Vibration'', which had the regular Infogrames logo and no Atari logo outside the packaging).
* The still version appears on mostly Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance titles.
** The version with the Armadilloarmadillo atop the banner appears on ''Blender Bros.'' (Invertedinverted), ''Dragon Ball Z: Collectable Card Game'', ''Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku'', ''Dungeons and Dragons: Eye of the Beholder'', ''Nascar Heat 2002'', and ''Nicktoons Racing''.
** The animated version appears on ''Lucky Luke: Wanted!'' and ''Mr. Nutz'', although compressed due to GBA video limitations.
* The still version (white on black) made a surprise appearance on the 2015 iOS versions of ''Spy Fox 3: Operation Ozone'' and ''Freddi Fish and the Case of the Creature of Coral Cove'', alongside the 1996-2002 Humongous logo, due to an editing mistake. The normal version also appeared on the 2014 iOS version of ''Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When it's Dark Outside'', due to (yet) another editing mistake.

'''Nickname:''' "Crystal Circles"
'''Logo:''' There is a big {{color|red}} ball with a reflection of the tripod over it. The picture zooms out, while concentric circles of glass swirl around the sphere. The {{color|red}} ball appears to be inside of another white ball, with the remaining background {{color|red}} or white. Some letters quickly flip and change on the sides of the tripod, which make words (Inin order, they are: Eat, Insane, Habit, Heavy, Chaos, React, Fear, Escape, Race, Real, Fast, Game & Play.) and later the word "ATARI" comes in below the tripod. The circles slow down before the logo fades.
'''Variants:'''
*On ''Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide'' for PC, the logo is slightly altered,: the tripod and the Atari text are replaced with the 2003 versions of each, meaning the Tripodtripod featured is the version that is shaped like an "A".

*Like the last logo on game covers, the logo is sideways, where the text is facing the right.
*The colors may be opposite ({{color|red}} background, white name), without any box around the text. This is mostly used on GBA and DS titles.
*On the GBA version of ''Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'', the full logo appears, with the Tripodtripod on top (still having the longer middle section) and the Atari text (without the Tripodtripod as the second "A") below.
* On ''Trivial Persuit: Unhinged'' and the PlayStation 2 version of ''Titeuf: Mega Compet'', the logo is sped up and so is higher pitched as a result.
* On ''Risk: Global Domination'' and ''Jenga World Tour'' for the Wii, a slower, lower pitched version of the logo plays.
