Goldstar Software, Ltd.

Logo (December 16, 1994)

Visuals: There is a square overlay of the four colors red, green, blue and yellow with a blobby background over it. The characters of "GoldStar" move from different sides of the screen before the whole logo then slides in along with "Software, Ltd." below, as the colored squares and blobby background fade out and the text turns golden.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on the PC game Take Back.

Goldstar LG Electronics

Logo (1995)

Visuals: A starry background fades in, and a blue arc of light wipes in as the red GoldStar logo slowly zooms in at the top of the screen. The LG Electronics logo fades in below, and a white spot glows in near the middle of the arc, covering the whole screen for a second while the 3DO shapes logo flips in at the left of the Goldstar/LG logos. The arc then disappears and leaves the rest of the elements.

Technique: 2D computer animation rendered in FMV.

Audio: A low synth note, playing along with a 5-note string synth and cymbals / windchimes.

Availability: Seen on the 3DO ports for BC Racers and Primal Rage.

LG Software

1st Logo (1995-1996)

Visuals: On a black background, white sparks come together to form the text "LG Software" in LG's corporate font of the time. Then. red sparks come together to the left of the text to form the LG symbol (a reddish-pinkish circle with a dot and the stylized letters LG, apparently meant to resemble a human face). The logo shines.

Technique: CGI (Rendered in FMV).

Audio: A lively synthesized fanfare.

Availability: Spotted on later 3DO releases from the mid-90s including the Korean releases of Armageddon and Firewall.

2nd Logo (1995-1997)

Visuals: Basically the same as the LG Electronics commercial, but instead of the grey text sliding from the logo and separating the Korean and English texts, the text slides with the "LG" on the left side and the right side of it being all Korean.

Trivia: The animation was clearly based off the LG Group's animated logo concept of the time.

Variants:

An early version exists, with the extended Korean text "LG소프트웨어" shown.
On Stone Axe: Search for Elysium, the text is changed to "LG미디어".

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A short MIDI-sounding synth/string ditty with drums. None on earlier games.

Availability: Seen on the 3DO game Battle Blues and the PC game Stone Axe: Search for Elysium. The early version appears on the DOS game 일지매전 ~만만파파식적편~ (Iljimae-jeon: Manman Papa Sikjeok-pyeon).

3rd Logo (1995)

Visuals: On a black background, a sparkle appears from the bottom and glows while passing to the center and changing from red to yellow. Four fireworks then appear, with one at the center resembling the LG logo, as these change from yellow to red. The whole LG logo then fades in at the front of the main firework, and once these disappear, the silver text "LG소프트 appears zooming in and out. The logo shines, and the text settles in.

Technique: CGI (rendered in FMV).

Audio: An evolving synth note with chime sounds.

Availability: Seen on the PC game Doraon Yeongung Hong Gildong.

4th Logo (1996)

Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with the red circle as a spark draws in the face of the typical LG logo. The circle moves back into positions as the gray 3D text "LG미디어" (LG Media) flies in several directions. The text then spins quickly into place as the LG face is formed.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A monotonous dramatic fanfare with synth drums.

Availability: Seen on the PC game Agi Gongnyong Dooly.

-'''Logo:''' On a black starry background, we see a red circle, a white line then forms followed with sparks from the top to the bottom in the circle and then it then the forming line turns right a little to form a L. Then another line forms across the red circle and stops in a quarter away from crossing the entire circle to turn left a little to form a G. Then a little dot in the left top corner inside the G forms. After the logo is completely formed like a face, it zooms in to the screen which the L covers the entire screen all in white until zooming back out with the red circle now in a middle top position, and after the face is zoomed back inside the red circle. A white blurry circle then appears behind the logo and zooms in covering the entire background expect for the logo. Then grey text slides with the text "LG" on the left side of the text and the right side of it being all Korean.
