Background

Boat Drinks, LLC. is an inactive/closed software development house that was based in Danville, California. Notable for being the company that helped to create the 1998 PlayStation version of Asteroids, with Michael Latham as co-lead designer on the project.

(1998)

Nickname: "The Hitman"

Logo: On a white background, we see a man wearing a suit and tie and a fedora. Below him is a metal structure that has tall red text that reads "BOAT DRINKS LLC" with a metallic sphere with a disc-like shape to the left of it. We then see five bullet shots missing the logo. the logo then slowly fades out.

Variants:

There exists a prototype version. The man is zoomed in further and is bigger than the "boat", we can also see a bit more of the man below the "boat".
An extended version exists where after a pause, the next few shots continue. Two of them miss again, two of them ricochet off the "boat", and the final two hit the logo.

FX/SFX: The bullet holes. None for the prototype.

Music/Sounds: Synthesized sounds of the bullets missing the logo. that sound like a gun with a silencer on it.

Music/Sounds Variants:

The extended version features extended sound effects. The two missed shots are the same as the previous five, the two shots that hit the "boat" have a metallic ricochet sound, the final two shots use the same silencer gun style, but sound as though they were impacting into a person. We then hear the sound of a body slumping onto the ground.
None for the prototype.

Availability: Seen on Asteroids for the PS1 The extended version was found on development files for said game.

Editor's Note: None.

Final Note: For more info on this logo, check out this Twitter thread.
