1st Logo (November 22, 1995)
Visuals: On a black background, the letters "EC" and "LE" appear rotating quickly, place themselves one-by-one and leaving a gap. Then an "O" drops down into the gap, forming "ECOLE". The white "Software Corporation" in serif then zooms in below.
Technique: Sprite animation.
Audio: 4 notes of an acoustic guitar-like synth, followed by a dark, ascending chime arpeggio.
Availability: Only seen on Pappara Paoon for the Saturn.
2nd Logo (August 9, 1996)
Visuals: On a watery red/orange/yellow gradient background, two broken stone-like face masks are shown, one placed diagonally and the other one near the bottom-right. The letters of "ECOLE" are shown spinning in and dropping down from the top to the left, and then place themselves close to the center-right. The logo stays still for a few seconds before fading out.
Technique: Sprite animation.
Audio: A desert-like synth theme.
Availability: Only seen on Death Crimson for the Saturn.
3rd Logo (November 25, 1999, May 10, 2001)
Visuals: On a black background, we see two gothic-style masks fade in, one at the left being white and the other one placed near the bottom-right and colored purple. The masks then fade out into the word "ECOLE", in white, at the center.
Technique: Simple effects.
Audio: Four drumbeats, with a synth note at the beginning.
Availability: Seen on Death Crimson 2 and Death Crimson OX, both for the Dreamcast.
