Background
BMG Interactive was a video game publisher and distributor owned by Bertelsmann Music Group. They mainly distributed titles outside of the United States, though they did operate an American subsidiary (which closed in 1997). In 1998, the company was sold to Take-Two Interactive Software, with the company's assets later serving as a launchpad for Rockstar Games.

Visuals: On a shaded steel-like background, the letters "B", "M", and "G", in their corporate font, are hammered from behind with sparks coming out. Then the upside-down triangle, line, and text "INTERACTIVE" appear the same way at once, forming the "BMG INTERACTIVE" logo.
Variants:
- On some games, the logo is still and in black and red colors.
- On Mass Destruction, copyright info appears below after the logo finished animating.
- An extended version exists on the Japanese and European releases of Courier Crisis: The Saga of the Modern Fatalist.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A synth drone with four pounding sounds.
Availability: Seen on international prints of games such as Grand Theft Auto, Mass Destruction, and Tilt! Hyper 3D Pinball. It also appears on the Japanese and European versions of Courier Crisis: The Saga of the Modern Fatalist, but does not appear in America as BMG sold the American rights to GT Interactive Software. In America, this appeared on Spider: The Video Game for PlayStation.
