Background

Blast! Entertainment was a video game developer based in the UK.

They made mainly family-oriented budget titles based on various licenses such as movies, TV and toys.

(September 11, 2006-July 23, 2009)

Logo: On a yellow background is a spherical cast-iron bomb. The bomb has red, orange and yellow gradient coloring with a face that winks and a grin with a sparkle on the right of his teeth. A fuse protrudes out of the bomb with a star, indicating a lit fuse. Next to the bomb is "blast!" in black lettering.

Variant: On Mr. Bean for the Nintendo DS, the logo swings upwards from the bottom-left corner of the screen and bounces thrice before settling into place. It then swings away via the upper-right corner. This also applies to the Tiger Aspect and Beyond Reality Games logos on the same game.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on video games released outside the US in the PAL formats. Titles include Beverly Hills Cop, Home Alone, Wacky Races: Mad Motors, and The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep for the PS2.

Legacy: While harmless by itself, the company's notoriety for poorly made licensed games has given it a degree of infamy.
