Background

AliceSoft (アリスソフト) is one of the most famous eroge (Japanese term for "erotic game") developers. Founded in 1989, the company is mostly known for the Rance, Tōshin Toshi and Evenicle series of games.

Contents

1st Logo (December 15, 1990-October 1996)	2nd Logo (April 16, 2004-February 29, 2008)	3rd Logo (early/mid 2010s-2019)	4th Logo (November 27, 2020-)

1st Logo (December 15, 1990-October 1996)

Visuals: On a black background, Alice-chan, the company's mascot, is shown drawing in the pink word "Alice". Alice-chan blinks her eyes and smiles at several points during the formation of the logo. At the end, she stands next to the formed word and holds a sign with the pink word "Soft" on it, while doing a blushing smiling expression with a bird shown flying over her shoulder.

Technique: Sprite animation.

Audio: A descending and ascending classical-style theme.

Availability: It is seen on most PC-98 titles from the company, starting with Toushin Toshi and ending with Ningyo: Tsukako.

2nd Logo (April 16, 2004-February 29, 2008)

Visuals: All of the variants of the logo consist of the company's mascot, Alice-chan, and the logo sliding from the right side of the screen. The logo consists of the text "ALICESOFT" in black with the dot of the "i" in gold, with two squares at the left featuring the trademark Rance character Hanny in white, with "SINCE 1989" in a bar below and the slogan "it's eroge maker!!". The versions of the logo change depending on the month or season the game is launched.

Variants:

Summer: Over a sparkly blue background, there is Alice-chan in cut-out chibi style, dressed up in a swimsuit bringing up the logo. The background then brightens up and the screen fades to white.
October: Over a white background, there is Alice-chan in a school gym suit carrying a red flag with "1" in it. Confetti is seen moving and Alice-chan is slightly moving and blinking. The logo then slides in, settles and fades away as usual.

Technique: 2D animation in a deformed anime style.

Audio: A gentle theme, with instruments changing depending on the variant.

Availability: Seen on Rance VI, Sengoku Rance and Beat Blades Haruka.

3rd Logo (early/mid 2010s-2019)

Visuals: Just the AliceSoft logo as described before zooming in slightly on a white background.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A random seiyuu from the game shouting "Alicesoft!", or none.

Availability: Appears most often in 2010s titles such as the two Evenicle games.

4th Logo (November 27, 2020-)

Visuals: Unknown.

Variant: A 30th anniversary variant is used on Dohna Dohna, where it debuted.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: It debuted on Dohna Dohna.
