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)

Nickname: "Curious Nose"

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 same 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.

FX/SFX: The nose moving, the name is writing in.

Music/Sounds: 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.

Music/Sounds 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 very rare trumpet version.

Availability: Common. Seen on Russian games published and foreign games localized. Early games, which are hardly known even in the local country, have the logo still.

Editor's Note: A favorite among Russian gamers.

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").
