Background
Eden Games (operating as Eden Studios until 2003) was formed on January 4, 1998 as a split-off of Infogrames Multimedia's Lyon development studio. With the split, former parent Infogrames retained a 19% stake in Eden, before fully acquiring the developer in April 2002. During 2012, the studio began separating from Atari SA, and reopened as an independent developer the following year.
Visuals: There is the Eden logo, consisting of the word "eden" in blue with the last half of the logo missing on the bottom and a red triangle arrow on the "e". On the top there is the white word "made in" while on the bottom, "studios" in a script font.

Eden Games
1st Logo (Kya: Dark Lineage variant) (November 18, 2003-April 2, 2004)
Visuals: On a black background, there is a new Eden Games logo set on a red box with a thinner font, and an "e" logo on the top. In front of the logo, there are Scrawny Wolfen and Purple Woof, two enemies from the game. The Wolfen throws a bone for the Woof to catch, as it goes off screen to get it. It then returns and tackles the Wolfen to the ground and begins to chew its head.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The sounds of the Wolfen and the Woof.
Availability: Appears on Kya: Dark Lineage for PS2.
2nd Logo (Titeuf: Mega Compet variant) (September 24, 2004)
Visuals: Over a white background, the logo starts with Mr. Dubidet, who is about to ride a bike. He struggles to get it going, but it eventually goes off as it's seen that he is pulling Titeuf, Nadia, Valerie, François and Hugo on shopping carts, which hop as the rucsac that was dropped becomes a speed hump. Hugo loses control of his handheld video game, which flies towards the screen, with the Eden Games logo from before in red (without a box).
Variant: On the Game Boy Advance version, the logo appears still and shares the screen with the Dream On Studio logo.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The trolley sounds, Titeuf and his friends cheering, and it ends with Hugo saying "Tourjeurs nerveux du six pourquoi!"

3rd Logo (September 5, 2006-February 8, 2011)
Later variant
Visuals: Various swirls create the "e" logo, which soon shines. It soon brightens as it zooms out to the top, as swirls form the "eden GAMES" font.
Trivia: The wheel footage on the Test Drive Unlimited 2 variant is taken from the title sequence for Test Drive Unlimited, which is seen after the publisher's logo sequence.
Later Variant: On Test Drive Unlimited 2, the footage of the inside of a wheel is shown as it speeds along on a car. It then fades to the Eden "e" from before and the logo continues on as above. Also, the logo is in scope.
Technique: CGI.

4th Logo (Alone in the Dark variant) (June 20-November 20, 2008)
Visuals: Various streams of steam surround a black background. The steam forms the "eden" typeface and then vanishes. Suddenly, an explosion of flames creates the "e" logo like a fireball. The footage then blurs out as the text "EDEN GAMES" and "An Atari Studio" (with "Atari" in its logo typeface) on the bottom right are seen.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Calm wind sounds, then an explosion and the sound of flames.
