Background

Blue Planet Software was a video game company specializing in Tetris games. Although it may have been known that it uses the same abbreviation, the same founder and also a strong relation with Bullet-Proof Software, it was a separate company headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.

1st Logo (July 31, 1999-2001)

• 
• 
• 

Visuals: The background is full of a liberty blue color. A red/yellow gradient stylized "BPS" zooms into the screen, while the blue color zooms out, revealing it to be formed on a sphere. Once the logo is formed, "BLUE PLANET SOFTWARE" in blue fades above the logo.

Variant:

• There are two still versions.
  • One of them just has the logo itself.
  • On The New Tetris for Nintendo 64, the logo is still, and is next to the H2O Entertainment logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A mysterious, horror sounder culminated into a large whoosh with some techno zaps. This ends with a synth, warbling note.

Audio variants:

• On The New Tetris, none.
• On Barbie: Team Gymnastics, there is Barbie talking about the game over the logo.

Availability: Seen on The Next Tetris for the PS1 and it's offshoots. A still version of this appears on The New Tetris for Nintendo 64 and Barbie: Team Gymnastics for PC.

2nd Logo (September 5, 2001-March 20, 2002)

• 
• 

Visuals: There is a blue sphere with purple dot patterns seen on it, which zooms in and spins. The "BPS" from before then wipes in via light, forming a green border. The logo then gets filled with red, and the blue "BLUE PLANET SOFTWARE" text (you can also see a purple outline) fades in above the logo.

Variant: On the GBA version of Tetris Worlds, the logo is on a space background, it's brighter, it's still and the "BLUE PLANET SOFTWARE" font is different and light blue.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on Tetris Worlds for the PC and PS2. The variant is seen on the GBA version.
