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.

(2003-)

Logo: 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.

FX/SFX: There are many variants, but the basic version is still.

Music/Sounds: None for the static version.

Availability: Uncommon. 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 very rare and probably seen only on Death Jr. for DS (other games came under the Digital Eclipse label).

Editor's Note: None.
