Background
Buka Entertainment is a Russian game publisher and localizer, founded in 1994. In 2008, it was acquired and merged into its main competitor 1C Publishing. However, the company still operates as a separate brand.
1st Logo (1998-2008)
png.png)
Logo: There is a blue spot on the floor and two red eyes to the right. The eyes move to the spot, and are revealed to belong to a red nose, which smiles afterwards. The word "Бука" appears near in a script font, with the full name "BUKA ENTERTAINMENT" being flashed below. The logo shines, causing a ping of light to form the registered mark on the top-right of "Бука".
Variants:
- On Nuclear Titbit, the orange letter "Я" in the brush-painted font falls down and smashes the "у" in "Бука" into pieces to read "БЯка".
- On Lokhotronschik: Crazy Loto (Лохотронщик: Crazy Loto), the logo is animated in a Claymation style like the rest of the game.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: Some synth xylophone-like tinkles, a high string note with a faint drumroll, and a couple of pizzicato notes, followed by a triumphant fanfare similar to those you'll hear in old Russian role-playing games, then an array of whooshes and laser zaps ending with a ding.
Audio Variants:
- In the logo's early years, the music composition was pretty different, but quite similiar. The ding is synchronized perfectly with the ping of the light that forms the registered mark.
- There is also a trumpet version.
Availability: Seen on Russian games published and foreign games localized. Early games, which are hardly known even in the local country, have the logo still.
Legacy: A favorite among Russian gamers.
2nd Logo (2008-)
Logo: The word "Бука" flashes its way through the black background, making it red. When it fully reveals, some words flash in below: "Издательство развлечений" ("Entertainment publishing house").
Variant: An international version exists, where the logo is encapsulated into an oval-like figure with a circle below. The company name is written in English with the byline "Entertainment publishing".
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: A mellow musical choir with a blinking sound.
Availability: Seen on the latest games from Buka, like Collapse.
