'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a flash on the bottom right corner of the screen, which gives way to the text "{{font|Impact|'''Eidetic'''}}", which emits light shadows. As it moves to the center, three rectangles ({{color|lime|lime green}}, {{color|teal}} and {{color|red}}) fly up and situate themselves beneath the text. The frontal shadows on the text die out and are absorbed into the point on the "I". A shadow forms behind the word.

'''FX/SFX:''' The text and bars flying, the shadow effects. Pretty decent animation, especially when compared to the game that follows.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A peaceful synth fanfare with some piano notes in-between.

'''Availability:''' Only seen on the infamous ''Bubsy 3D''.

'''Editor's Note:''' None.

'''Availability:''' Seen on ''Syphon Filter'' and its sequel.
