Background
Davidson & Associates (or simply Davidson) was an educational software company headquartered in Torrance, California. It was merged with Knowledge Adventure in 1999.
1st Logo (Early 1990s?-1999?)
Logo: On a black background, a red scribble is drawn in. "Davidson" is written first in a childish font, in which it then morphs into "Davidson" and the scribble morphs into a red "D" shape.
FX/SFX: The logo drawing and morphing.
Music/Sounds: Sketching sounds followed by a cheesy synth orchestra.
Availability: Rare. Generally seen on Davidson's product previews which were bundled with their games.
2nd Logo (1996-1999?)
Logo: On a white background, all the letters of "Davidson" walk and bounce in from the right side of the screen, all scattered in a crowd. Then, the red "D" shape from the previous logo slams down and sends all the letters flying, before they all fall down one-by-one in their normal positions.
FX/SFX: The letters and shapes moving.
Music/Sounds: A bunch of high-pitched chattering from the letters. A voice says "Yoo-hoo!", and there is a boing sound as the "D" falls down and a "Whee!" from all the letters as they fly away, followed by a synthesized tune as they re-appear, a "Ta-da!" and then them laughing.
Availability: Was seen on games such as Mega Math Blaster.
