Background

Backbone Entertainment's name appeared in 2003 when Digital Eclipse merged with ImaginEngine. Backbone had three divisions in Vancouver (Digital Eclipse), Emeryville and Charlottetown. However, the latter spun-off very soon into the independent studio Other Ocean. In April 2005, the studio merged with The Collective to form Foundation 9 Entertainment, though both studios remained as subsidiaries of the merged company. In 2009, Backbone's Vancouver studio was shut down and other divisions experienced layoffs as well.

Logo (August 16, 2005-November 6, 2012)

Visuals: There is a mounting bench (shaped like a human body, having a part of vertebral column instead of its head) surrounded by a white box. Above, the name "BACKBONE" is written, and below we see the word "ENTERTAINMENT" in a smaller font. The byline "A division of Foundation 9 Entertainment" (with F9E's corporate logo) is seen below.

Variants:

  • There are several animated variants used for video-capable platforms.
  • The studios in Emeryville and Vancouver have the town name instead of "ENTERTAINMENT".
  • Sometimes, the colors are inverted.

Technique: There are many variants, but the basic version is still.

Audio: None for the static version.

Availability: First seen at Death Jr. for PSP, albeit a animated variant. The still version can be found on DS games, such as Charlotte's Web. The Emeryville logo is seen on Dogz and MechAssault: The Phantom War for DS, while the Vancouver logo is probably seen only on Death Jr. for DS (other games came under the Digital Eclipse label).
